    If I take something from your home and then leave you what I’ve decided unilaterally is fair compensation for it, and you know nothing of the transaction until after it has happened, would that seem fair to you? Asking because I’m pretty confident you have a refrigerator and I know for sure that I’ve got a crisp, fresh one dollar bill.

      I don’t think that’s a fair assumption.

      In your hypothetical I believe you would get refunded the price you purchased for each game.

      Though really what I think would happen would be just the Steam DRM would be removed from all games and you’d have an opportunity to download the ones you own.

        It’s that they didn’t ask. That’s the important part here. Amazon negotiated both sides of this “agreement”, decided that they were treating themselves fairly, agreed with themselves and then executed the transaction.

          Yeah but we were talking about Steam, not Amazon.

          At least that’s what I was replying to, and when you replied to my reply, I thought you too were talking about Steam.

            actually that seems fair. they gave you an extra 5

            was the part I was responding to in the OP, and when you engaged about the unilateral compensation decision I assumed that’s what you were talking about.
