Valve takes a cut of every 'transfer' between users involving money, and they don't allow transferability of games, the main thing people would want to transfer. If you're going to pretend like you're trying to help consumers by giving them control over their digital content, don't just do it for the type of content that makes you money.
With that said, I'm definitely on Valve's side with this. Age verification and anti-VPN spyware is all bullshit. Too bad I'm not a NY resident.
