If you don't retain some kind of actual ownership, they will not be allowed to use terms like "buy" or "purchase" on the store page button. I hope there aren't huge holes in this that allow bad actors to get around it, but I certainly loathe the fact that there's no real way to buy a movie or TV show digitally. Not really.

EDIT: On re-reading it, there may be huge holes in it. Like if they just "clearly tell you" how little you're getting when you buy it, they can still say "buy" and "purchase".

"Ubisoft take note"

Ubisoft is nothing compared to Valve... You don't own anything you purchase on Steam and it's the biggest store by a huge margin, don't know why Ubisoft is mentioned specifically...

In the unlikely event of the discontinuation of the Steam network,” Valve reps have said, “measures are in place to ensure that all users will continue to have access to their Steam games.”

But we know that is only guaranteed for single player Valve games

And until it happens that’s meaningless

Blame devs for not creating a system for custom servers, not valve who's games do have those systems.

How do you host an Artifact server?

How do we update it to work on unsupported (read future) systems?

You got me on the first one. Artifact is definitely an exception to what I said.

As for the 2nd question, you emulate old systems.
