What I DO own is that specific copy to play when and where I want.

Sure, provided you bring along the specific console required for your game of choice and you have a tv with the proper input jacks to hook it up to, and the game hasn't degraded or broken like internal batteries and copper components do on some older cartridges.

Meanwhile I'll be sitting at any desktop or laptop on earth and all I need is my password and enough hard drive space and Steam will install the game and move my save files from the cloud. I've sat on many 4 hour bus rides with my laptop playing games from any number of old consoles via steam, all while offline. How horribly inconvenient.

Notice how literally everyone in this topic is on one side of the argument and you're on the other? That's usually an indication that you're wrong, or in this case, that your opinion is trash.

I have all that. Or portables for those cases when I don't have them.

Sounds an awful lot like you need internet or you get nothing. Yes, very inconvenient. I like my games to work and Steam prevents that. Or as an alternative I could set up emulators. Same thing without the malware.

What says YOU aren't all wrong? I won't underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. If I walked into a meeting of flat-earthers (Steam users) saying the planet is round (Steam sucks), I'd still be right even if I was the only one saying so.
