One cannot buy digital content with DRM, only rent it. It's impossible to regret acquisitions you've never made. Point in case. You can sell on your physical games. Not so much the digital ones. All that said, I too use Steam, just not mainly anymore. Edit: Holy smokes did this blow up! I'm happy to drive engagement here on the fediverse, albeit I do believe I struck a nerve. Either that, or some people have poor reading capabilities - I see the comments refuting something I haven't said. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] voracitude@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago That's amazing.

DRM has nothing to do with how you buy your content (DVDs and Blurays also have DRM, for example). Also some Steam games have no DRM. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago Or buying them, for that matter? permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago I was thinking of sites like GOG when I wrote my comment.
