A friendly reminder that you don't own anything on Steam.

Well if that isn’t a nice stark reminder that digital goods aren’t yours.

How is this not a scam?

Also, blockchain would solve this issue/risk

How? They could still revoke the key. You can say HWG5NJ-1YJCTU-RZPDFH all you want, if Steam says no, you’re equally SOL.

The only thing the blockchain has solved is, uh, well what have it actually “solved”?

It just a slow and energy hungry way of keeping records. It is indeed not the silver bullet some people make it.

A bad way to keep records too as it’s immutable.

Scam? That thing is mislabeled as “free”, people grabbed it for exactly $0, then the license of that key got pulled. No transaction happen in this case.
