Steam Updates Platform to Clarify Digital Game Purchases Ahead of California's AB 2426
Oct 11, 2024, 04:36 PM
Steam has updated its platform to inform users that they are purchasing a license rather than owning the digital games they buy. This change comes ahead of California's new Digital Goods Law, AB 2426, which aims to protect consumers from misleading sales of digital goods. The law, set to take effect in 2025, requires digital storefronts to clarify that customers are only buying licenses, not the actual products. This move by Steam aligns with the new legal requirements and ensures transparency in digital transactions.
