OT,
I see EA announced that EA Access will come to Steam. It is great news, but I am wary with subscription services on Steam, but at least it will keep the Valve diehards happy. I have to ask, will it be the same service as EA's own Origin Access? Steam is also now beta testing cloud gaming which is at this stage only linked to GeForce NOW.
I get the idea that Valve is slowly migrating to a cloud-based service once all this is in place. I am saying it now, the gaming libraries we have come to know will become legacy.
Free giveaways may come to an end in the time to come, replaced by daily, weekly and monthly service subscription trials as already done by others.
No need to have DRM anymore when you don't own the license to have physical access...
