It's not about the 30%, it's about giving you the ball for $3.30 then taking the ball away sometime later saying you can no longer play with it and no, there won't be any refunds.

Playing devil's advocate here but I've had a Steam account for well over 15 years now and my library of games has only grown.

I am sure there are stories and certain situations where people have lost access to games, but I think they're fringe cases.

  • I have an account as old as yours, and the games I have lost access to have been pulled by the publisher, never by Valve. We’re talking about one or two games in a 500+ library, and I don’t even remember which.

    Yeah, it’s not a very big concern of mine either.

    • 500 is a lot of games. I think mine is around 100-150. Just to get a sense of scale, maybe the reason why I never saw anything get pulled. In fact the opposite, I have received free games over the years.

  • And they are fringe cases with most DRM, since most of any of my libraries still exist if I check it.

    But people seem so Gung ho about DRM being bad. except for Steam.
