Where does this say you keep your games? Steam can revoke access to your account, and if they do, you lose your games and receive no refunds.

STEAM SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT

You become a subscriber of Steam ("Subscriber") by completing the registration of a Steam user account.

  1. TERM AND TERMINATION

A. Term

The term of this Agreement (the "Term") commences on the date you first indicate your acceptance of these terms, and will continue in effect until otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

B. Termination by You

You may cancel your Account at any time. You may cease use of a Subscription at any time or, if you choose, you may request that Valve terminate your access to a Subscription. However, Subscriptions are not transferable, and even if your access to a Subscription for a particular game or application is terminated, the original activation key will not be able to be registered to any other account, even if the Subscription was obtained in a retail store. Access to Subscriptions ordered as a part of a pack or bundle cannot be terminated individually, termination of access to one game within the bundle will result in termination of access to all games ordered in the pack. Your cancellation of an Account, or your cessation of use of any Subscription or request that access to a Subscription be terminated, will not entitle you to any refund, including of any Subscription fees. Valve reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges or costs incurred prior to the cancellation of your Account or termination of your access to a particular Subscription. In addition, you are responsible for any charges incurred to third-party vendors or content providers before your cancellation.

C. Termination by Valve

Valve may restrict or cancel your Account or any particular Subscription(s) at any time in the event that (a) Valve ceases providing such Subscriptions to similarly situated Subscribers generally, or (b) you breach any terms of this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use). In the event that your Account or a particular Subscription is restricted or terminated or cancelled by Valve for a violation of this Agreement or improper or illegal activity, no refund, including of any Subscription fees or of any unused funds in your Steam Wallet, will be granted.

If you search "EULA deleting all copies of any materials or software in your possession" you'll see this shows up in pretty much every EULA for every piece of software, including most games. Phasmophobia, Baldur’s Gate 3, Risk of Rain 2, and Steam itself show up on that list.

Why would Canada call the US a safe country for people seeking refugee status and also accept refugees from the US?

No. Canada has an agreement with the US that nobody entering Canada from the US will be seen as a refugee and will be deported back to the US. Vice versa is true with people entering the US from Canada.

It's the Safe Third Country Agreement. They even have big red letters saying "yes this agreement is still in effect".

I can't find it on GOG's but I wouldn't be surprised if it's in most EULAs. I've seen emails saying "confidential, if you are not the intended recipient of this email you must delete it." There's no way to enforce that. Ubisoft isn't coming to your house to review the contents of your drives. I'm guessing it's to stop some loophole like "you said I can't resell your game so instead I sold my hard drive (that has the game installed on it)".

I know for sure Korean does this, though technically their writing system is a syllabary. Symbols representing vowel and consonants are arranged into blocks that represent a syllable.

For example ㅈㅅ is short for 죄송합니다 meaning "I'm sorry". Talk about efficient shorthand! The first consonants of each syllable block are used to makeup the shorthand, the ending 합니다 is a polite conjugation which is ignored in shorthand. You can look up "korean texting slang" for more. It's apparently used a lot. The shorthand some might already be familiar with is ㅋㅋ which is "lol".

How'd you get it to do this?

I just wanted to see if you'd actually go out of your way to fake a gimp screenshot. The guy has 17 fingers and 3 arms and the baby has 14 toes and one hand is meshing into the arm of the man. It's AI. The screenshot also doesn't have a layer for most things that would have layers like the text that says "Yoink" and for some reason the baby is half in one layer and half another. The checkered pattern in the layer view is messed up. Why would you go to such lengths to lie? Just say it's AI. It's obvious.

Post your gimp screenshot

There are 14,000 games released on Steam every year. What percentage do you believe contain in-game purchases? It's quite literally just the giant AAA venture capitalist backed studios that do this. Just don't buy them.

It's like saying if we allow AI art to continue soon there will be no more humans making art. People will always make art. People will always make games. If all the art you see is corporate slop that's a you problem.

I got into The Apothecary Diaries right after watching Frieren. I'm going to need to watch a rom com as palate cleanser.
