Pheace: True, though you don't own your car on GOG any more than you do on Steam. It's more akin to having your car stashed in a foreign country where the authorities can't touch it if you break any of the terms you bought it for.
Mike_cesara was the one making comparisons to cars. I wasn't saying that having a game on GOG is like owning a car at all and your analogy still doesn't work as it implies that keeping backups of GOG games downloaded from a terminated account is somehow exploiting a loophole by stashing the games where GOG can't reach them. It's not that GOG can't get to your backups, it's that they're nothing to do with GOG and they would have no interest in getting to them.
I was saying that on Steam you buy a licence and a subscription to the service that allows you to download and run the game.
On GOG, you buy a licence and a subscription to a service that allows you to download the game.
In the case of Steam account termination you don't lose your licence to the software, just your only means of access (of course there are some DRM-free games on Steam). You still own your licence but your ability to run a lot of the software is compromised.
In the case of GOG account termination you don't lose your licence to the software either, just your means of downloading. If you have the files then you're fine to keep using them as you still own your invisible licence to use the software.
mike_cesara: And my point is, is really complaining (or even being annoying as hell) enough to take away any goods you've already paid for?
Yes, I did read the whole story and I am not so sure who's abusing
the system more..
See above. The goods (licences) are still yours, it's use of the service that's suspended. Of course, the service is mostly required for the games to function, but that's something every Steam user accepted when they signed up.
