Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Nowadays you don’t buy games and therefore you do not own games. You get a license which can be revoked at any time.

Beat me to it. Exactly. If you have games on Steam, Uplay, Origin or hell, on anything that isn't GOG or itch.io, you more than likely don't own jack.

At least Steam has easily circumventable DRM, but many developers use additional third party DRM.

I bought lots of Steam games. Every game I played is archived into a folder on my home server to be recovered – for example if Steam pulls something like the "update" where they removed songs in GTA: San Andreas to which Rockstar didn't have the rights anymore.
