In response to California’s AB 2426 law, set to take effect in 2025, Steam recently updated its platform to clarify a crucial point: when you buy a game, you’re not purchasing ownership of it, but rather a license to access it. This distinction between ownership and licensing has long been present in digital media, but many consumers may not have been aware of it. Essentially, the games you buy don’t actually belong to you, and your access could be restricted or revoked under certain circumstances.

Interestingly, other platforms like GOG.com have hinted at similar updates, but Steam has been the first major player to take action. Platforms such as Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Epic Games Store have yet to follow suit.

Battle Royale games have become increasingly popular in recent years, with players competing to be the last one standing in a shrinking map. While some games in this genre may seem easy to play at first glance, there are others that are notoriously difficult and require a high level of skill and strategy to succeed. Some of these games have been around for years and may have lost a significant portion of their player base.
