Reminds of when I compared Microsoft’s various licenses and end user agreements to the GNU GPL version 1, when I was switching to GNU+Linux and Free Software over 20 years ago.
A search for the word “change” in the Steam subscriber agreement reveals “deal with the devil” clauses, where they can change the agreement after you agree.

Steam itself’s still proprietary though, right?
… Oh, yeah, and then some. Way short of the 4 freedoms of Free Software’s philosophy. Steam’s https://partner.steamgames.com/steamdirect & https://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/ makes quite a contrasting read to Free Software licenses (e.g. WTFPL or GNU GPL 2).
