I was reading reviews for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle , a new video game starring the famed archaeologist, a few days ago when I noticed a strange thread on Reddit . Humble Bundle, it seems, was giving the game away for free to people who linked their Steam account to the storefront. Great Circle is a brand new flagship $70 AAA video game and I thought it was weird. I followed the link on Reddit but Humble had already pulled the listing. But, according to posts on social media, some people were able to get the game and run it for a few hours before it vanished from their Steam library. Now, days later, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is still absent from the Humble Bundle store. Searching for it on Google returns two listings on the site—one for the premium edition and one for the regular edition—but clicking through redirects users to the Humble Bundle storefront. Indy is missing from the popular store and it’s unclear when, or if, it’ll ever come back. Humble Bundle is a popular charity-driven digital storefront where players bundle various goods together. Users group stuff together, including books, comics, and games, then “pay what they want.” A portion of what they pay goes to charity . It’s a popular service and a lot of mainstream companies sell their products on Humble. It’s a great place to get incredible deals on games. On Monday night, Wario64—an account on X that posts about video game deals—noticed that Humble Bundle was giving away the new Indiana Jones game for free. Like any great deal sniffer, it alerted the public. Between Wario64 and the Reddit thread, a bunch of people got to enjoy Indy for a few hours before Humble revoked the keys. Humble Bundle did not return my request for comment and hasn’t spoken much about what happened. In a statement released to PC Gamer, it said it had revoked all the keys for the game it’d given out “due to a mistake in the provided pricing for this game, the game was incorrectly marked as ‘free.’” This is a harsh reminder that getting a game into your Steam library doesn’t mean you own the game. Steam doesn’t actually sell games, it sells licenses to the games. The license can practically say whatever the company wants. Steam made this crystal clear in October when it changed what customers see when they buy something. To comply with newly passed laws in California against false advertising, the digital storefront began to tell its customers they were only purchasing a license at the point of sale. This had always been the case, but the details were buried in the Steam EULA for more than a decade. Now it’s upfront.Carlo Ancelotti backs Kylian Mbappe after latest penalty miss: 'He can do better'All-star goalie Thatcher Demko will return to the Vancouver Canucks lineup Friday. Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet said Demko will backup Kevin Lankinen as Vancouver hosts the Columbus Blue Jackets. It will be Demko’s first game since April 21 when the Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. He suffered an injury to the popliteus muscle in his knee during the game and has been working his way back ever since. When the 28-year-old netminder from San Diego, Calif., gets a start remains to be seen, but having Demko back in uniform is an important step, Tocchet said. “He’s a leader on the team. He’s a different type of leader,” the coach said after morning skate Friday. “The guy works awfully hard. He’s spent a lot of time by himself working out, he’s here at 7 a.m. working with one trainer. So I think the what it’s contagious to me is the hard work he does. The young guys see this stuff how dedicated he is. I see that really helps our locker room.” Demko had a 35-14-2 record with a .918 save percentage, a 2.45 goals-against average and five shutouts in regular-season play last year and played in the all-star game for the second time in his career. Vancouver inked Lankinen to a one-year, US$875,000 deal during training camp and he has split the crease with Arturs Silovs to start the season, with the pair backstopping the Canucks to a 13-7-4 record.Chance of direct attack by Russia ‘remote’, says UK armed forces chief

India will host the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES) for the first time in February next year which will be a global platform for its creative talents, fostering collaborations and showcasing the country's potential as a hub for world-class content creation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke extensively about the WAVES Summit in his monthly 'Mann ki Baat' Radio address on Sunday. Comparing the WAVES to global events like the World Economic Forum in Davos, Modi said the leaders from the media and entertainment industry as well as creative minds from across the globe will gather in Delhi for the Summit being held from February 5-9. "This Summit is an important step towards making India a hub of global content creation," he said. The prime minister emphasized the pivotal role of young creators in the preparations for WAVES, reflecting the dynamic spirit of India's creative community. He expressed pride in the enthusiasm of the country's youth and their contribution to the burgeoning creator economy, a key driver as India advances toward becoming a five trillion dollar economy. "Whether you are a young creator or an established artist, associated with Bollywood or regional cinema, a professional from the TV industry, an expert in animation, gaming, or an innovator in entertainment technology, I encourage you to be a part of the WAVES Summit," Modi said. He urged all stakeholders in the entertainment and creative industries to actively participate in the WAVES. "The WAVES Summit is poised to serve as a global platform for India's creative talents, fostering collaborations and showcasing the country's potential as a hub for world-class content creation," Modi said. The Summit will also highlight India's advancements in animation, gaming, entertainment technology, and regional and mainstream cinema, he added. Modi also paid heartfelt tributes to ace director Raj Kapoor and singer Mohammed Rafi on their 100th birth anniversaries. Raj Kapoor's role in showcasing India's soft power through his timeless films and Mohammed Rafi's mesmerizing voice that continues to resonate with all generations, he said. Modi also recalled Akkineni Nageswara Rao's contributions in elevating Telugu cinema while reflecting the Indian traditions. He also honored Tapan Sinha's socially conscious films that inspired unity and awareness. Modi said these legends not only shaped the golden era of Indian cinema but also strengthened India's cultural heritage, leaving behind an everlasting legacy for generations to admire and draw inspiration from.

GUJRANWALA: Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting, National Heritage, and Culture Attaullah Tarar categorically stated on Saturday that the events of May 9 are unpardonable and will not be compromised or forgiven due to ongoing negotiations with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). During a media interaction in Rahwali, Gujranwala, the minister stressed that overlooking PTI’s anti-state activities would be tantamount to opening the gates of jails (and releasing the culprits). Letting PTI’s anti-state activities go unpunished would render the country’s jails meaningless. While acknowledging the seriousness of the crimes, the government is negotiating with PTI to prioritize national stability. Criticizing PTI, he said the party was promoting an incomprehensible false narrative about military court convictions, often changing its stance with remarks like “Are we slaves?” He stressed the importance of adhering to the correct narrative and avoiding politicization of state affairs, particularly in matters of international relations. PTI often makes statements and then reverses its position. Tarar stated that 85 PTI activities responsible for the violence on May 9 were convicted by military courts following a thorough legal process. The evidence proving their involvement in the attacks on army installations was considered irrefutable. While the cases of the remaining individuals involved in sabotage activities were being processed in various anti-terrorism courts. Negotiations among political parties were crucial for addressing the country’s pressing issues. Referring to the ISPR DG’s recent press conference as comprehensive, Tarar stated that the DG addressed topics including the May 9 violence, the war on terrorism, and the military trials of miscreants. He noted that trying individuals who attack military installations in military courts is a common global practice. He stated that those convicted for the May 9 violence were given a fair trial, the right to appeal within military and high courts, access to case records, contact with their families, and were not tried in absentia. The Federal Information Minister explained that, just as drug cases are handled by Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) courts, terrorism cases by Anti-Terrorism Courts (ATCs), mega corruption cases by NAB and attacks on railway facilities by the Railway Police, attacks on military installations are prosecuted in military courts. He said the convictions were not rushed, taking two years to reach verdicts against the culprits. All were prosecuted in accordance with relevant laws, and stressed the need to prosecute the planners and masterminds behind the May 9 violence. He said that even the harshest opponents of government were acknowledging the economy was on the right track, exports were rising, foreign currency reserves were increasing, and the rupee was stable against the dollar. He acknowledged PTI’s role in the passage of the 26th Amendment, working together with JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman to have various clauses removed from the draft amendment package.

Michael Cheika's Leicester have snatched a thrilling 34-34 draw with Harlequins at Twickenham in England's Premiership Rugby. Veteran England prop Dan Cole, 37, scored in the 79th minute of Saturday's match when he placed the ball on the line as part of a forward-led assault on the whitewash by Leicester with Springboks star Handre Pollard nailing a tricky conversion. It is the third time in three meetings that the rivals have drawn in Harlequins' annual 'Big Game' fixture at Twickenham, which has now been running for 16 years. Cole had come on as a substitute for Leicester, who also have five wins and three losses and sit fifth, six points above Harlequins but 11 behind leaders Bath. "Dan's Leicester through and through. He's still as passionate as ever," former Wallabies coach Cheika said. "He's ripping into the guys at training. He could easily be saying 'I've done my bit, someone else should be taking over here'. But he's still investing so much into the club and the team. "It takes a while to get to know him but I've started to get to know him better and I'm really appreciating the effort he's making." Leicester played with greater cohesion but a self-destructive streak undermined their evening with first-half mistakes gifting their rivals two tries and providing England five eighth Marcus Smith with two easy shots at goal. Once Pollard's conversion had sailed over via the right upright there were still a few seconds remaining for Leicester to stage one final attack in search of the win, but halfback Ben Youngs opted to kick the ball into touch and take the draw. Cheika backed the decision. "It's usually my go to go for the win but to be honest we hadn't looked like making a break from long range all game," Cheika said. "And we didn't nail our opportunities from short range as well and we created a heap of them. "It felt like we got through that game on fight. "We've got three points and in the long game of the season, that was a well made decision.' - with AAPDaily Post Nigeria LP za ta maka yan majalisarta da suka koma APC a gaban kotu Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Hausa LP za ta maka yan majalisarta da suka koma APC a gaban kotu Published on December 6, 2024 By Nana Ismail Jam’iyyar Labour Party ta sha alwashin daukar matakin shari’a kan mambobinta guda hudu na majalisar wakilai da suka sauya sheka zuwa jam’iyyar APC.

Mora’s contract extension will run through 2028 and will pay him $10 million through the remaining four years, with the opportunity to earn more in incentives. The 63-year-old coach is set to make $1.7 million next season, $1.9 million in 2026 and $2.3 and $2.4 million in 2027 and 2028, respectively. UConn then went out and thrashed North Carolina, 27-14, in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. “I am forever grateful. I’m grateful to (athletic director) David (Benedict) and (school president) Radenka (Maric) and the Board of Trustees, but this is about what the (UConn players) did today,” Mora said when asked about the extension in the postgame press conference.

When I first got here, I talked about where we wanted this program to go and we have shown great progress but we still have plenty of work to do. The commitment and dedication from the university and the athletic department has me excited about the future for our football team.” “Three years ago, I tasked Jim Mora with the challenge of leading our football team back to success and through his experience, energy and leadership he has done just that,” UConn athletic director David Benedict said in a statement. “He has taken our program to post season bowl games twice and just guided our team to one of the best seasons in UConn football history, building a momentum to keep this program moving forward. I look forward to his leadership of our football team in the years ahead.” Mora is coming off one of the most successful seasons in UConn football history, having led the team to an 8-4 record and an appearance in the Fenway Bowl. It’s the Huskies’ second bowl appearance in three years. UConn’s eight wins is the most for the program since 2010, and the Huskies had their first winning season since that year, too. A win Saturday would give UConn nine wins for just the third time in program history, with the last two such seasons coming in 2003 and 2007. Robbins heading to Tulsa UConn quarterbacks coach Brad Robbins is heading to Tulsa as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, according to a report from CBS Sports. Robbins was part of a coaching staff that helped the offense produce its most prolific attack since the 2009 season and fifth-most in program history (32.3 points per game). Robbins worked at FCS Tennessee Tech and Division II North Greenville before joining Jim Mora’s staff in spring 2023. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Demi Moore revealed how actor Bruce Willis almost two years after he was revealed his dementia diagnosis . Ex-wife Moore answered questions on CNN about his ongoing health battle, saying that he “in a very stable place at the moment.” “I’ve shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely,” Moore said. “It’s so important for anybody who’s dealing with this, to really meet them where they’re at, and from that place, there is such loving and joy.” In 2022, Willis' family announced his aphasia diagnosis, a language disorder that makes it hard for those to communicate or understand others. In 2023, they learned the aphasia was a result of frontotemporal dementia. “I’ve known that something was wrong for a long time. It started out with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss,” his daughter Tallulah Willis wrote in Vogue in 2023. “I find that I’m trying to document, to build a record for the day when he isn’t there to remind me of him and of us.” His second wife, Emma Heming Willis, currently is the actor’s caretaker. Moore emphasized that Willis' condition is “very difficult,” and said that she wouldn’t wish it on anyone. “There is great loss,” Moore said. “but there is also great beauty.” Soap opera star Thom Christopher died on Dec. 5 at the age of 84. Christopher starred as villain Carlo Hessler on the long-running soap One Life to Live . Former co-star Anthony Crivello announced his death in a Facebook with a heartfelt message. “He was always a gentleman, always supportive, and he and his wife Judith who proceeded him in death, where always gracious to me and welcoming,” Crivello, who played Christopher’s son, wrote. Christopher’s wife Judith died in 2019. “May Thom fly on Wings of Angels to be beside his beloved Judith, and may they enjoy each other’s company once again, beside the ‘Pearly Gates’ of heaven.” Christopher appeared on the series from 1991 to 2008. One Life to Live ran from 1956 until 2013. In 1992, he won a daytime Emmy for best supporting actor for his work on the show.

Randy Moss, former wide receiver, Hall of Famer and current ESPN pundit for “Sunday NFL Countdown,” is stepping back from the show due to heath issues, according to the network. The hiatus, announced on Friday, comes after an Instagram post by Moss on Sunday asking for prayers. In the video, he said he has been battling “something internal,” and that he has a “great team of doctors.” The star then referred to viewers mentioning his seemingly yellow eyes last week, and put on a pair of sunglasses. “Your boy is going to get through it,” Moss said. “So if you see me with my... glasses on, y’all know what I’m battling,” ESPN said Moss had the network’s “full support’ and that they “look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.” In the Instagram video, Moss, 47, told men to get their check-ups and bloodwork done. “I just ask for all the prayer warriors to put their blessing hands on me and my family through these hard times,” Moss said. A post shared by Randygmoss (@randygmoss) Britney Spears didn’t move to Mexico— despite the video of Spears saying she did, a source told The Hollywood Reporter . The singer originally told fans that she moved to Mexico to escape the “incredibly cruel” paparazzi. “It really kind of hurts my feelings that the paparazzi make my face look like I’m wearing like a white Jason mask, and it doesn’t even look like me,” Spears said on Tuesday. “They’ve always been incredibly cruel to me, the paparazzi and pictures and the way they’ve illustrated me to be in some of it. I know I’m not perfect at all, by any means, but some of it is extremely mean and cruel, and that’s why I’ve moved to Mexico.” The clip was part of a longer video marking Spears’ 43rd birthday on Monday, which was also the day her divorce with Sam Asghari was finalized, according to TMZ .

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied TikTok’s appeal to overturn the law. The company argued that it violated the First Amendment. “The First Amendment exists to protect free speech in the United States,” said the court’s opinion, written by Judge Douglas Ginsburg. “Here the Government acted solely to protect that freedom from a foreign adversary nation and to limit that adversary’s ability to gather data on people in the United States.” TikTok and ByteDance are expected to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, though it’s unclear if the Court would hear the case. The ban was signed into law by Joe Biden in April, capping off a years-long fight against the popular app, which lawmakers view as a threat to national security. Two hikers reportedly stumbled upon a woman tied to a tree and crying in Monterey County, California, on Wednesday. According to SF Gate , she was walking a trail in Pebble Beach around 7:30 that morning when she noticed a “suspicious male” behind her, holding a gun. The man did not take anything from her or assault her or injure her, just left her tied up for two hours before the passersby found her. With the help of another hiker, he untied the woman and called the police. The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office subsequently launched a search for the suspect, described as being in his 30s with a neck tattoo involving the letter Z. SFGate reports that while authorities haven’t identified anyone matching that description yet, they say there is “no active threat to the community.” Confusing celebrity update: Paris Jackson, daughter of late musician Michael Jackson , is engaged to Justin Long. Not the Justin Long I think you’re thinking of (he’s married to Kate Bosworth) but another Justin Long; the Justin Long who Jackson has been dating for about two years. He works as a music producer, sound engineer, and mixer, according to The Daily Mail , and first appeared on Jackson’s Instagram in Nov. 2022. The next time he showed up on her grid was Friday, in a carousel she posted to celebrate Long’s birthday, which also included photos of the proposal. “Happy birthday, my sweet blue,” she captioned the post, using her nickname for her fiancé. “Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind and I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with.” As for when the pair became engaged, Jackson was photographed wearing a big diamond ring during Paris Fashion Week this past September. Consider this the hard launch? The jury in Daniel Penny’s manslaughter case signaled Friday that they’re struggling to reach a verdict on the case. They must decide if Penny “recklessly” caused the death of Jordan Neely by putting him in a six-minute chokehold on the subway in May 2023. Penny’s attorneys argued that the former Marine was justified in putting Neely in a chokehold because witnesses say he told passengers, “Somebody’s going to die today,” and that he was ready to go to jail. Prosecutors argue that no witnesses testified that Neely brandished a weapon or touched anybody, and that Penny kept Neely in the chokehold long after other passengers left the train. The jury has been deliberating since Tuesday. The jury could also convict him of the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. If the jury can’t reach a verdict then Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley would issue an “Allen” charge, which urges them to reach a unanimous verdict. Penny faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the manslaughter charge, or up to four years if convicted of a lesser count. Scouted selects products independently.

Donald Trump on Friday fired off an unequivocal message of support for his defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth in the wake of several damaging reports about the Fox News star’s alleged behavior. “Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe,” the president-elect wrote on Truth Social. “He was a great student—Princeton/Harvard educated—with a Military state of mind. He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense Defense, one who leads with charisma and skill. Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!” Trump’s post came the morning after Hegseth spent the day meeting with senators whose votes he’ll need to be confirmed as the next Pentagon chief. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Hegseth insisted he’d had a “ great week ”—despite multiple bombshell reports emerging in recent days about his alleged drunken antics, which he denies, along with rumors that Trump is considering replacing him with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as his nominee for defense secretary. “As long as Donald Trump wants me in this fight, I’m going to be standing right here in this fight,” Hegseth said. A top Romanian court alleged Friday that Russia conducted an elaborate TikTok psy op to get a pro-Putin political newcomer elected president. The European Union member state’s Constitutional Court made the unprecedented decision to annul the results after the first round of its election votes, with Sunday’s second round of voting canceled, too. A raft of now-released intelligence reports allege that front-runner Calin Georgescu soared into the lead backed by 25,000 TikTok accounts based in Moscow. The Euro skeptic and anti-NATO Georgescu, who has professed his admiration of Romania’s fascist past, was a relative nobody before the election and was polling at around 5 percent. The U.S. State Department said earlier this week that it was concerned by the Romanian Supreme Council of National Defense’s “report of Russian involvement in malign cyber activity designed to influence the integrity of the Romanian electoral process.”

Maryland finds shooting touch, downs Maryland Eastern ShoreOn December 9, Deshmukh, the sarpanch of Massajog, was abducted, tortured, and killed in Beed for opposing an extortion attempt targeting an energy firm. Multiple arrests have been made in connection with the case, but a political clash has erupted over Walmik Karad, an accused in the extortion plot who is said to be a close associate of Parli MLA Munde. Mumbai: Actor-producer Prajakta Mali on Saturday slammed BJP MLA Suresh Dhas for dragging her name in his attempt to target NCP minister Dhananjay Munde in the sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh murder case. Deshmukh, sarpanch of Massajog, was abducted, tortured and murdered in Beed on December 9 for attempting to thwart an extortion bid on an energy firm. While several persons have been arrested so far, a political tussle is underway over Walmik Karad, an accused in the extortion case linked to the murder and who is reportedly a close aide of Parli MLA Munde. Addressing a press conference, Mali said Dhas’ comments were in bad taste, entirely baseless and asserted women, especially actors, should not be made soft targets. Mali said her silence over video clips and fake news circulating over the past one-and-half months on social media pertaining to her visit to Parli for a cultural event should not seen as “my consent”. “Artistes choose to stay away from such mudslinging. But Suresh Dhas is an elected representative and what he says and the manner in which he says it have to be taken seriously. Dhas’ remarks are false and baseless. His remarks linking me to Dhananjay Munde are derogatory,” the actor emphasised. She said her family and friends believed in her when such negativity was being spread on social media but it needs to be taken seriously when an MLA makes such comments. Mali said she has sought a public apology from Dhas and is contemplating legal action against the Ashti MLA. “I had been to Parli for a cultural event, an award function. Artistes like me travel to several cities to entertain audiences. Why name just women? Haven’t male actors attended such programmes organised by politicians? Dhas has used my name for his selfish interests,” she said. Asserting that such comments not only malign women but also show a person’s mindset, Mali informed that she has lodged a complaint with the Maharashtra State Women’s Commission. “(Women) actors are soft targets. Don’t misuse them for your TRP (viewership). To what extent can you go to boost TRPs? Don’t you think she (the target of such attacks) can slip into depression and commit suicide?” she said questioning the media. Mali also informed that she had sent a notice to Munde’s wife Karuna over some social media comments, following which the latter stopped making such utterances. “Karuna Munde, do not speak without clarifying. Your information is wrong,” Mali said. The actor said she will meet Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking that social media platforms, portals and media be held accountable for maligning women.

The suspect, Jagdish Singh, was arrested at the scene and police, later, confiscated his licensed .32-calibre pistol. The incident occurred during a traditional pre-wedding event of ‘Jago’ at Kot Gangu Rai village. Mandeep Singh, 38, a cousin of the groom, suffered injuries when Jagdish first flung a glass at him and then fired three shots from his rooftop. A bullet grazed Mandeep’s forehead, while two struck his left arm. The bystanders moved Mandeep to a private hospital in Doraha, where he remains in stable condition. Sub-inspector Jaspal Singh, investigating officer of this case, confirmed that the accused had been drinking before firing some celebratory gunshots at the event, which is illegal. The SI claimed that: “When Mandeep asked him to stop firing, Jagdish left the function, went to his rooftop, and began hurling abuses. He then attacked Mandeep, escalating the incident to a life-threatening level.” Police noted that a longstanding land dispute between Jagdish and the groom’s family might have contributed to the tension. Despite this bitterness, the family had invited Jagdish to the wedding. He has been charged with attempt to murder and violating the Arms Act, and his firearm has been seized. The case highlights the dangers of celebratory gunfire , a practice that remains common in parts of the country despite repeated warnings from authorities. The consequences of being casual with firearms are fatal at times.

Humble Bundle, it seems, was giving the game away for free to people who linked their Steam account to the storefront. Great Circle is a brand new flagship $70 AAA video game and I thought it was weird. I followed the link on Reddit but Humble had already pulled the listing. But, according to posts on social media, some people were able to get the game and run it for a few hours before it vanished from their Steam library. Now, days later, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is still absent from the Humble Bundle store. Searching for it on Google returns two listings on the site—one for the premium edition and one for the regular edition—but clicking through redirects users to the Humble Bundle storefront. Indy is missing from the popular store and it’s unclear when, or if, it’ll ever come back. Humble Bundle is a popular charity-driven digital storefront where players bundle various goods together. Users group stuff together, including books, comics, and games, then “pay what they want.” A portion of what they pay goes to charity . It’s a popular service and a lot of mainstream companies sell their products on Humble. It’s a great place to get incredible deals on games. On Monday night, Wario64—an account on X that posts about video game deals—noticed that Humble Bundle was giving away the new Indiana Jones game for free. Like any great deal sniffer, it alerted the public. Between Wario64 and the Reddit thread, a bunch of people got to enjoy Indy for a few hours before Humble revoked the keys. Humble Bundle did not return my request for comment and hasn’t spoken much about what happened. In a statement released to PC Gamer, it said it had revoked all the keys for the game it’d given out “due to a mistake in the provided pricing for this game, the game was incorrectly marked as ‘free.’” This is a harsh reminder that getting a game into your Steam library doesn’t mean you own the game. Steam doesn’t actually sell games, it sells licenses to the games. The license can practically say whatever the company wants. Steam made this crystal clear in October when it changed what customers see when they buy something. To comply with newly passed laws in California against false advertising, the digital storefront began to tell its customers they were only purchasing a license at the point of sale. This had always been the case, but the details were buried in the Steam EULA for more than a decade. Now it’s upfront.
