I love how everyone is whaling on steam, the one honest good product that does digital sales, instead of the stupid streaming and online movie sites which this was targeted at.

No, they're just the only ones doing it pre-emptively:

This disclaimer appears as though it's likely related to a California law set to come into effect next year

Probably because they know no one really cares.

No good deed goes unpunished.

I don't think anyone is "whaling on Steam". You can like Steam and also point out that they're complicit in the "you will own nothing and like it" society.
