Not to say it won’t happen, but if a corporation tried to mess with steam libraries, it would raise hell like nothing the internet has ever seen.

Yeah? And what would that achieve? What the hell are gamers gonna do?

For God’s sake, we couldn’t even keep a protest going on Reddit because people were afraid of the sunk costs. People give Valve money.

If valve removed all of my purchases they would never get a single dime out of me again.

Would never be a move for them.

I think it’s more realistic for this scenario to happen to me, rather than the majority. My account with 500+ games also happens to have 30+ VAC bans.

Valve isn’t going to remove your purchases unless Valve goes bankrupt.

But make no mistake, they will do other anti-consumer and anti-competitor bullshit once Gabe leaves and the company becomes publicly traded.

Things like throttling your download speed unless you pay their subscription. Being forced to watch ads whenever you browse your library.

This is why we should NEVER put so much trust in a company that they can build up a monopoly, like all those Gabe stans are doing.
