Yes, I know DRM-free means you can still physically play the games. Thats not what I’m asking.

Sparked by a recent discussion about DRM, I’m wondering what happens legally when different game stores close. For example, if Steam shuts down, are licences presumed to presist or are they revoked? What about GOG, Itch.io or Epic? I couldn’t find anything in the terms of service specifying.

    I figure maybe towards the end of my lifetime laws will catch up to allow some form of real digital ownership. Until then: you lose it when they go out.

      Laws serve the purpose of protecting ownership and owners, that defines what is lawful or not.

      So, it is working as intended.
