Steam now tells gamers that they are buying a license, not the game itself

Valve, the company that operates the popular video game marketplace Steam is explicitly starting to disclose that you do not own the games you buy from the platform. The payment checkout screen, which appears right before you complete the transaction now has a note that states that “a purchase of a digital product grants a license for the product on Steam.” While the note is currently showing up on the desktop version of the app, the note is yet to show up on the mobile version of the app.
