Not necessarily true. I see a lot of class action lawsuits start off from petty vengeance. Like the lawyer in florida suing the spurs in a class action for resting players. Or customer didn't get what he wanted so he is out to screw over a company. Even if he loses the lawsuit, he has hurt the company and cost them money.
Maybe there are some bad apples but why should that strip the good consumer of their rights? We deserve to be protected from bad practices just as they do. I'll admit I'm not completely familiar with what Steam did because I don't use the service..I've only read a little from a thread on the board here. However, it seems like they strong armed people into agreeing to their new terms or losing all the games they had already purchased. If that is the case then it is just plain wrong. Whatever terms were at time of purchase is what they should remain. I really like the way GOG does business actually if I'm working with digital content, there is no bullshit involved.
Part of the agreed to terms was that they were subject to change
