Re: Is my understanding correct......

Actually, that is the next provision that is going to be added to the Steam contract... if you violate the TOS, they can come and execute you. Why not? Your life is just another right like all the others they want you to give up, isn't it?

Despite what some might say, No this would not be legal. You cannot avoid/modify/amend existing law through a contract to allow someone to commit a crime against you. The fact that a company would even try is a testament to the need of MUCH stronger consumer protection.

For some strange reason, the idea to let business do what they want and if they can get customers to agree that it should hold just doesn't cut it in my book.

You think you have some magical power over another companies product when you never own it?

Well, for one, the concept of a company trying to TOS itself out of legal liability has NOTHING to do with ownership vs. licensing of a product or service...

And second, you seem to be forgetting the fact that Steam doesn't even own the product themselves, the games remain the property of the respective game companies.

you are right, the game is the property of the company that made it, the thing is you never buy the license from that company. you get the license from steam. If you really are that worried about it, don't use Steam.
