It actually states that you may transfer your rights to the game to another person, which is, like… wow.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen this in another steam-connected game.
I still dislike the wording around the fact that the TOS can be changed at any time, and refusing revokes your right to playing it (without any compensation), but that’s pretty much industry standard (unfortunately). This however, stood out to me.
P.S: If any of y’all have some extraordinary TOS’s for other games that stand out in good (or bad) way feel free to share, it’d be interesting to know if there are others!
Excellent breakdown. This almost definitely only applies to the Deluxe Edition that is a physical copy.
Steam explicitly doesn’t let you give your account away or sell it, likely because they service so many different companies, that it would be impossible to handle the licensing changeover for all your games. It’s still frustrating, but it also makes a little sense, considering each game is often owned by a series of different companies.
I’ll only buy digital games if I get them at garbage bin sale prices. If I can’t sell it when I’m done, I’ll only pay an amount small enough that I wouldn’t go through the trouble of selling it.
