I just shared all my GOG games with my family and they could install the games without a hitch. They could import it to Steam and Heroic and play it from there. Can’t do that with Steam.
Steam tries to obstruct you from doing it, but Federal law gives you the right. Quit spreading misinformation about Steam having the power to override your property rights, because it doesn’t.
And that makes it injustice that needs to be resisted!
What the fuck is wrong with you, that you just want to accept the enemy’s usurpation of your rights?
The notion that corporations get to unilaterally change the law to redefine what “buying” and “ownership” mean is some Stockholm syndrome, late-stage-capitalist, ass-backwards insanity. Snap the fuck out of it!
Even accepting the argument that a tyrannical law invalidates rights rather than violating them (which I don’t, BTW), the DMCA only applies to things that are DRM’d, not everything on Steam.

What Federation is being Federal to you? If it’s the USA, overriding your property rights was the whole purpose of the DMCA.

If we’re discussing what’s legal it’s 100% relevant. DMCA makes circumventing a digital lock a crime in the USA.
If we’re discussing what’s moral, then talk less. Nothing about the DMCA was moral.
