https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/c0782848-9346-4172-a841-deac5c014d62 In this video, we reveal how threat actors are sneaking InfoStealer malware into early-access Steam titles and why Steam’s subscriber agreement lets Valve off the hook — leaving you with no ownership, forced online connections, forced subscriptions, and zero liability protection. We break down the malware’s delivery mechanism, dissect the critical licensing vs. ownership clauses, outline the “as-is” warranty and liability disclaimers (including your sole responsibility for damages), compare international exceptions (like Germany’s), and warn about the subscription treadmill trend. // David's SOCIAL // Discord: https://discord.com/invite/usKSyzb X: https://www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gERfuriI96efWWLQQ SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/davidbombal Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/david-bombal/id1466865532 // MY STUFF // https://www.amazon.com/shop/davidbombal // SPONSORS // Interested in sponsoring my videos?
