    Guys, this is a standard license agreement. This isn’t them saying “haha we can remove games at will from your library!”

      I’ve been trying to tell people for years this is how it actually works, now they’re being ultra transparent about it so maybe people will actually care.

        Sure they can. But it wouldn’t be legal. You purchased a game. It’s yours. You’re only authorized to play it via steam.

          People going on about being authorized do do this, not authorized to do that. General rule, don’t listen to others telling you what to do and what no to do if they can’t enforce their own rules. Steam and the rest of the digital corpos talk big, and act small. Do what you want, play your games not through steam, they handed the files to you and asked you nicely not do do what you want with them, you’re perfectly free not to listen to them, and honestly you shouldn’t listen to them 🏴‍☠️.
