The only reason valve would terminate a steam account is if you were buying and selling them which is a violation. Or if you were doing really shady stuff like stealing money/fund etc.
But every online place has that. Just like all the FPS that ban your account or block your ip when caught cheating or stealing funds/money. And its only if the game actually requires a steam account. Example you cannot launch OOTP directly from the .exe it will always launch steam first. But plenty of Paradox games and others I recently played Underrail you can directly browse the folder and launch the game without steam even needing to be open. Its why my CK2 time is so far done. I played the heck out of that game 7 years ago but I launched it directly from the exe not going through steam. So it doesn't even log your hours in steam since the interface is not even opened. |

I appreciate your answer, and although I don't agree, I respect your answer. To be honest, I don't know what FPS means, nor do I understand how one would cheat in a video game online. But that's my problem. Thank you again. |

Second: don't get into a fight over assets with an accountant. Your non-point might rapidly depreciate in value. Third: Why download and apply a multitude of patches manually, sometimes several in a week, when I can have Steam do all that for me? Finally: you are still hijacking a thread for your agenda, whatever it may be. Also, your vitriol.

Second, I'm a retired CPA with over 30 years experience. On my worst day I would put my accounting knowledge up against yours. Good accounts/CPA's don't answer financial question the way you did. Nice Try. Third, It was a simple question. I was not looking for a debate. One thoughtful educated answer, was all I was looking for. Forth, your downloading answer, would have been a sufficient answer, thereby answering my question. Wow............... Last edited by Pirates; 03-07-2019 at 05:21 PM. |

You don't "own" the game, though. That was my point.

I know this is all far fetched, but so is the getting booted from Steam example. Last edited by David Watts; 03-07-2019 at 05:16 PM. |

Unless there is a law, I am unaware of, OOTP/Marcus has no legal right, to ever yank my ability, to play a game, that I purchased from them. Being a retired a CPA, I would never agree to lease an asset, that I can just buy outright. (Take out all tax issues and Liability issues for the purpose of this discussion). But, I do understand the point you are trying to make. Thank you. |

Good accountants/CPAs also don't hopelessly derail a topic that had a pretty neat and rather basic question about how many hours Steam showed they had played in OOTP... if you want deep financial philosophy as discussion topic, please seek out the Off Topic area.

No but OOTP could ban your ootp account if you were ripping money off from users through their portals.
Every online account works that way for everything. |
