I just have a big problem with this in principle. And they set it up like they are immune from screwing you over. They can do anything to your account. They intentionally set it up to avoid all the consumer protections they can. Would you buy clothes if the store owner reserved the right to "take them away from you at any time for any reason"' date=' assuming it was possible under the law? There's good reason it isn't allowed. And then when you said something about this policy, someone tells you "stop whining, just don't do anything that could piss the store owner off" By the way, to use something that you bought is not a privilege, it is a right (legally too), that the people behind Steam are trying to circumvent. [/quote'] I think you'll find that in this day and age, few companies don't protect themselves against consumers at least as well as Steam does. The reason they need to do this is BECAUSE of people like you who complain about privacy and things you believe are rights and raise hell for no reason at all. And it's a privilege to play games on this platform, and be able to install them across multiple systems. If you were to burn down the clothing store, they would sue you for your money that would be worth more than then clothes you got, the same as if you break Steam's rules and cause problems for other users.
