      This is a thread where someone claimed that you don’t own the games on Steam but you do on GOG, this is the comment the person was replying to:

      In case of Steam.

      With GOG I get an actual license key & terms that state my ownership.

      So yes, that’s exactly what the person is saying. So the fact that GOG can’t remotely wipe your drive is a strawman fallacy, because neither can Steam, and the differences between GOG and Steam is what’s being discussed, so anything that is the same has no bearing on the discussion.

        GOG is the only big option if you want to own the games you purchase.

        I think it’s pretty clear from context that they mean they have the ability to perpetually play the games because of the lack of DRM, not the right.

          Again, the same is true for Steam, so that’s a moot point when comparing GOG to Steam which is what this thread is about.
