    win8linux got a reaction from ARikozuM in Game dev revokes buyer's Steam key after negative review of their game   
    Liam Dawe of GamingOnLinux reports about a reader who got their Steam key revoked after they left a negative review on a game:

    Here is the locked thread about the issue and the original review that started it all can be found here.
     
    Interesting opinions from the article's author (Liam Dawe) about game ownership:

    Personal opinion: This could concern some gamers who may feel that they could easily lose access to their games should a dev not like what they are doing, even if their actions are justified (such as a bad review). This seems like a good time to discuss how much do we actually own in today's world of gaming. It is situations like these that make me thankful for the existence of DRM-free alternatives like GOG (even if they don't care much for Linux) and itch (better stewards of Linux gaming, but not many big games).
