Editor's take: Steam has become one of the first companies to admit that you do not own the games you buy. This acknowledgment comes as new regulations take effect. We've long known that digital game purchases are nothing more than long-term rentals, and there's little we can do to change that. However, more transparency around this arrangement is welcome nonetheless.

What just happened? There's been a slew of great new titles landing on Steam recently, and that's good news not only for gamers, but also for Valve. The platform has broken its concurrent user record four times over the last month, peaking yesterday when 38,367,277 people were logged into Steam simultaneously.
Something to look forward to: Valve's upcoming multiplayer shooter has been an open secret for months. The developer remained weirdly secretive about the project as players leaked mountains of information and footage from it. Valve is now ready to admit that the game exists but hasn't given it the fanfare expected of a newly announced game.
