How do they not allow you to own anything? Steam has drm free games, and if this is about licensing that wasn't different 30 years ago.

Valve is absolutely not perfect and I buy from gog when possible, but my god do I hate that argument. Using steam's drm is the choice of the publisher.

its the perpetual license thing, every platform that doesnt directly sell you the product does the same thing, it's the industry standard.

Yes, and video games sold as physical disks did it too.
