Valve's recent disclosure on Steam clarifies that purchasing games grants a license, not ownership, likely due to upcoming California regulations requiring explicit statements on digital media rights.
Some users noticed the new message on Reddit, highlighting its significance. The change comes ahead of California's new law mandating that digital storefronts accurately represent what users are buying.
The new California law, effective next year, aims to protect consumers from companies like Ubisoft and PlayStation that have removed purchased digital titles from users' libraries.
Valve's proactive measure appears to ensure compliance with this law by indicating clearly that customers are purchasing a license to a product, not owning it outright.
