Look at the EULA, you’re not buying the game, you’re buying the right to play it and that right can be taken from you at any time, Heck, just the fact that you can get banned from Steam and lose access to your library should have made that pretty fucking clear!

WOW WTF??. That does it. I will definitely not give Steam another dime.

That's why I buy them on GOG and not Steam. Make up your fucking mind, do you or do you not buy games on Steam?

I bought many games that originally played on Win 98 you were talking about on GOG and play them on Win 10.

I stupidly bought Axis and Allies Online a week ago on Steam. Learned I cannot play it on Windows 7 after one week. Then learned I could have bought it on GOG instead without the ridiculous DRM.
