Helllo!! You never owned nothing. Did you even read the Eula Agrement on your oh so lovely retail. It explicitly says you bought the lisence to the game not the game itself.

It wasn't a development that came with steam you know? With steam, they just have more power to enforce the regulations which I have no problem with. I haven't had a problem with it and continue to use it for convenience. Why is it so hard to understand, please tell me!

Do you understand EULA agreements and law? How much do you understand about first sale doctrine, or even the fact that ECJ just this past year upheld such rights. Why is it so hard to understand by accepting a companies work around to get around such a law by surreptitious means hurts ALL gamers? Why is it so hard to understand that your convenience is a massive inconvenience for the entire industry? Why is it so hard to understand paying money for something WITHOUT value hurts the economic structure of ALL industry? In short, why is it so hard to understand not having a problem with it IS the biggest part of the problem?

You are entitled to rant and rail all you wish as far as I am concerned defending steam, but the value of something sold on GOG or non steamworks related retail is automatically more value than anything on steam.

Please don't you start with the devaluing the intellectual property or monopoly of steam. I have my nice deal for games which I wouldn't buy otherwise, companies are finding new audiences with the sales. No person has the right to call me blind for my preferences based on his preferences. Good day sir.

You did not comprehend what I said and supplanted your own definition. I said absolutely nothing of monopoly or devaluing an IP.

If you make it clear you choose to not consider factors of a situation as if they are invalid based on the "Why should I care, It doesnt effect me" philosophy, showing that you do not understand how it does, that is turning a blind eye to relevant factors. That isnt preferences, that is using ones incomplete opinions as justification to ignore factors that show where its not properly formed. But that wasn't the blindness I was pointing to.

You are choosing to infer calling you blind for supporting steam. What I pointed to with blindness is the fact Steam prices in general are horrible because they do not follow the market and remain higher than what they should. That way when the big sale comes around knocking the price down to 75% it seems like a good deal, except its 75% off of an price substantially higher than the products actual MSRP. So that awesome 75% off, is in actuality a lot closer to a more meh worthy 60%
