    Except you can’t make Steam offer their content offline like that. By altering the language they use it effectively makes them more transparent about what you are really paying for. So, in order to use the word “buy” or “purchase” they would have to make the content available offline, or they have to use a different word that essentially means “rent” or “subscribe” cause that is what is actually happening.

      Well did they confirm that something you buy isn’t? It’s only a platform and It’s more about the developers that should be doing that.

        Steam games usually use steam drm that prevents you from playing without having been on the Internet on the account.
