But yeah, I definitely agree with you in general. You have perfectly valid points.
That is not informing the potential buyer in a simple way, that's hiding the information in a different page, one which is a long text made up of legalese which one need Legal Training to fully understand.
You're just making my point.
You know what would be a simple, obvious, honest way of in that page of telling the purchaser that they're buying a license?
"Strangely" Steam chooses not do any such thing or similar and instead chooses to "inform" buyers with a link to a different page which is a wall of legal text.
I'm not really arguing against your point either though. I'm just saying it's there. But I agree it can and should be clearer. I'm agreeing with you. 😉
