Last year, they all came crawlin' back to Steam, and this year was another strong one for Valve.

Ummm if you don’t think GOG or Itch don’t have similar clauses you’re in for bitter disappointment.

GOG also reserve the right to terminate your account. You have a license to use it. Almost all games on GOG have a ‘you don’t own it, you own a license to use it’ clause as well. No arbitration clauses though.

Itch has a class action waiver, and many games on it have a ‘you don’t own it, you own a license to use it’ clause.

That’s why I only get my games from archive.org
