yeah as opposed to passing down those blu-rays that will surely not rot within 15 years, man you really fucked up by 'renting' a license that will likely last your entire life time as opposed to buying a product whose worst enemy is temperature, moisture, and light

i actually did reproduce but do i really want my child seeing what games i have on my steam account?

Why do people always pretend piracy doesn't exist for their fictional scenarios? If I've purchased a game/license anywhere I am morally justified in pirating it for the rest of time.

okay, so then I just pirate the games I bought. in the meantime I can still play my games, and the developers were paid good money, right? What's the issue?

Here's your (OP) anyways linux is better got older games than even windows 10 or 7. The only thing its not good for is modding, for a multitude of reasons. One of which being modsing. For example if you use MWGE for morrowind it cant inject into direct x. Depending on how you want to roll the dice though this can be a deal breaker if you dont want to use openmw which conveniently doesnt work with the gog version on linux. There are some other retarded things though usually unrelated to gaymin. Audio sync with pulse, file size bloat especially if you use snap, flat pack or any other software manager (inb4 elitist retards and arch users who break their shit constantly come & say imagine using snap), log file bloated. I've seen some distros eat up an entire ssd with log files. Tldr linux is about as complicated as android. Unless you are one of those bleeding edge retards that cant understand linux was about stability before arch fags came along. Anyways enjoy windows uninstalling your gpu drivers and replacing them with unstable ones i guess, oh & ads

Give him the login and password along with your email, you absolute moron. People have been "selling" their steam accounts by doing pretty much that meanwhile pajeets like you suddenly started going "NOOOOO GABE NEWELL MUST KNOW THAT I'M SOMEONE'S RELATIVE BECAUSE UHHHHH"?

Yeah so what? I unironically own nothing and am happy.
99% of games I play through them once and never touch them again.

Retard, they are going to see accounts older than 80 years and disable them by default. Not to mention 2fa is probably going to be mandatory everywhere.

the answer is obvious but i want you to tell me what it is

Should've read the ToS CHUD
>>
>>730810998
a fuckload of things can happen until 2080
the issue if inheriting accounts will only get more relevant as time goes on so that'll have to be tackled instead of staying a gray area
>>
>>730812535
It is not a grey area, they have already stated account are not transferible.
>>
>>730812645
no, it is a grey area as it's still an irrelevant issue where valve has arbitrage and it yet has to be big enough to hit the mainstream

Reminder that 3DS, Switch and Switch 2 games are stored on flash memory. Those games will be unplayable after 10-15 years or so.

>>730813647
Well unless gayme companies suddenly become less user hostile and don't hide their games behind layers of obfuscation and prevent (You) fro modifying your own damn copy of a game, cracking is morally justified.

The Y shows shows percentages, not absolute numbers.
For example, 100% of English-speakers speak English, whereas only 30% of all people (incl. English speakers) speak English.

Unless you're older than gabe this will be a nonissue, the moment he dies it'll probably get sold to Microsoft and they'll pull a Mojang. You'll have a few years to port your login to your MS account and download your games from an alpha quality GFWL windows store interface (all other platforms will be dropped)

It got worse, the game was Saints Row 3
At least Borderlands 2 actually came with a disc.
