Tell me you don't understand business terms like "license" without telling me you don't understand business terms like "license."

Also:

  1. Valve has made clear that if they ever go out of business, they will transfer a copy of each game you have a license for to you (providing they still have distribution rights).

  2. This isn't even a problem with GOG because they still distribute games in the old way where you can download a standalone installer and keep that copy of the game in perpetuity.

  3. Epic has no such plans or guarantees.

Make of that what you will.
