I don't understand what's going on here? Is this two different things? What's the relation between Discovery and Ubisoft?

The only relation is that one was in the comment thread of the other. Well, that and two different giant gaming companies basically stealing rightfully purchased content from their customers. The lack of respect that tech companies (maybe all companies?) have for their customers is just continually astounding to me.

Does it have anything to do with the licenses being bought from third party companies? I know I bought a fuck ton of shit for Total War Warhammer 2 through some shady ass website and sometime over last summer, Steam purged like half that shit. I only spent like 30 bucks for all of it, and still retain at minimum, the same amount in addons. But losing Tomb Kings was a punch in the dick when I wanted to play again.

No idea, but it didn't sound like it. Steam is one of the few companies that I give the benefit of the doubt to, but even so, if they let you redeem something on their platform and then remove it, I'd be pissed.

The game publishers can "recall" keys that they identified to have been obtained in illegal ways and Steam is forced to remove access to the games in these cases. Hasn't happened very often though and it's almost always G2A keys or similar sources.

Maybe because we're no longer buying or owning any games or software, only paying for access to it that can be revoked at any time. Gonna be a rude awakening when people realize the same thing occurs with things like the software required to operate the car you "own." Sure, pisses me off too, but shouldn't be surprising or confusing to anyone at this point.

It goes beyond that, he's someone who was celebrated as a "good one" in an era where a lot of youtubers ended up having controversies or turned out to be assholes. Everyone who met him had a high opinion of him.
Also this cameo in Sea of Stars is going to age really

Ya it's true. Warner Bros is yanking everything but Sony is getting all the hate since their digital stuff is distributed through them.

The despecialized editions of Star Wars. Arrrrgh.
It’s a great place to get kids content as well since even fucking transformers and Sesame Street have damn pronouns and drag queens now.

Mad respect. I (stupidly) got rid of part of my physical game collection a bit over a decade ago (nintendo 64, super Nintendo). I ended up modding the mini super Nintendo and never cared enough about the 64 catalog to replace it. I also bought a Dev kit for a series S to run retroarch on.
