Lol, if you say so.  I mean sure, Steam could, in theory, drop their core business that is generation $17,000,000,000 a year, with 75% market share, in a growing industry.  I guess Apple could just close up shop too?  Hey, what if Jensen decides to shut down Nvidia today?!!?? 

OMG, what if Sony releases an update that bricks all ps5 units and they walk away from gaming????!!!???

come on man, you do realize how silly you are being, yeah?  

I'm not, you are. I'm making actual statements.

Sony could only brick my PS5 if I allowed that update to go through. And if they even released an update like that, they would be commiting a crime.

The thing is, no company like Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sega, Ubisoft, Konami, etc could ever take the vast majority of my games away from me.

Valve could take your from you. Within their rights.

The likelyhood of it happening is meaningless, the fact you are under that possibility, even hypothetical, and I'm not, is what defines onwership to me, like any other product, someone would need to commit a crime against me for it to happen, or a natural disaster, or Godzilla not liking my house as you said.

Valve is literally selling you licenses within their entire right to revoke when needed, you are complying to exactly that when you are renting games in their service.

It would be silly if I said I expect it to happen, it's not silly to state it could in fact happen, meanwhile Godzilla not liking my house would be silly, it looks so good, we could even play my games together there instead.

hard, hard, hard disagree.  I don't worry about things that are extremely unlikely to happen.  I just don't.  I could slip down the stairs and crack my skull, but I ain't wearing a helmet when I walk steps.  

And Valve can't just remove games, there has to be legally justifiable reasons, not that it matters.  Your argument is basically "Valve could wreck their entire business for no reason" which is just, IMHO, silly.
