Yes or No?

why is this relevant to the GoG forums?
What point are you even trying to convey?

why?

With a melon?!

I reject your ultimatum.

gonna have to go with 'No'.

I don't click on links as a rule, and certainly don't without at least some attempt at a descriptive text explaining what it's linking to.

It's about a guy telling the origin of his steamy spores.

Glad I said 'No', then. :P

For real tho, it's "The Spiffing Brit", a youtuber who is relatively known for beaking games with exploits and such. No, not that guy. That's Josh with let's game it out.

Anyway, he figures out that if you get a EA play membership subscription on Steam, you can use the games that are connected to that account to farm keys and use them on Origin accounts to keep them even when you stop paying for EA play. Or sell them. Subscription keys.

and off course use a click bait title. Steam is actually working as intended here. The 'explaoit' here is EA's problem for not getting their own shit right.

And I can see Gaben sitting there and giggling now - "the fools, they have no idea what they are doing. Well, i am not going to help them, they should not have left to start with"

edit - it also higlights some of the problems with grey market sites like G2A. I am suprised they are still in buisnes, but then there are people like the person who made this cideo.

Ah, thanks. I don't watch/follow youtubers (although my kids do), so I've no idea who either of these guys are. Thanks for explaining what's going on with it though.

I mean it is kinda click bait but he was mainly revealing this flaw because he wanted to get it fixed.

Together with the fact that what Steam is doing together with EA, is giving them the chance to almost "introduce" a Netflix style of gaming market; (You don't own games, not even licenses, you rent them, which is even worse than just buying a license)

This.
I think this debate may be important for GOGers.

Also, my bad for not giving any explanation of what this video and link was about, as I don't click random links without checking it's source too, I failed there, sorry. :)
In any way, I think you can be more safe with "HTTPS Everywhere" if you're too worried about that as it helps a little.

True. He even says that in a point of the video accusing Steam with a joke of not fixing it for a while because it was kinda "obvious" that G2A prices for those games were weird.

I do enjoy him from time to time. Usually pointing out balance issues, or glitches and bugs that let you break it, anywhere from making a fork in skyrim that can kill anything, to making a 'prison' where you are growing trees and selilng them for lumber and never having a prisoner.

This style of gaming has already been around for a long time, there are much worse offenders.
Like Microsoft with Game pass (and how they tried to force it but got hated on and failed)
There are many others tho, but with steam tho you still don't own the games since they can take away your games if they wanted.
