10/10 law can we please get this in Canada too?
Better yet, can we just get a law that makes it so when we buy something we own it?
I mean that's what the California law is.
If you buy it you own it, but we aren't buying the games.
A law that says they have to let us buy it instead of license it would be nice though.
At least for steam it looks like it might be rolled out worldwide
