let me get this straight, STEAM won't let you play any of your purchased games until you hit that accept button?
No, you can play them, but it sounds like as long as your account exists (and is I guess used) you automatically agree to the new terms on November 1st. Not sure how the fuck that is legal at all, but that's what they seem to be claiming.
Not sure what constitutes "discontinuance" of use. This reeks, though. Personally, I'm not in any sort of legal dispute with Steam/Valve, so it doesn't matter to me as much as it does to Erithal...but I'm certainly not going to accept this pushy-ass update until it is forced on me. Maybe something will develop before then but...yeah, not agreeing to that voluntarily, on general principle.
Steam/Valve have their problems, but I generally like the platform. I still hope they get legally bitchslapped over what sounds like some sketchy bullshit.
just checked steam, i don't even see the new pop-up message
is it like only limited to certain regions or will i see it if i restart my machine/steam?
I didn't restart or anything, and it popped up for me in a new window like other news/deals does. Not sure if it's regional or what.
Steam functions normally, but the way I'm reading it, if I keep using steam on Nov 1st, that constitutes agreement. And if I want to make another purchase prior to then, I will be obliged to agree.
My lawyer has advised to not agree, and not make purchases.
