I don't know the exact nature of the Adobe bug, but Steam had a similar problem recently too "Moved ~/.local/share/steam. Ran steam. It deleted everything on system owned by user" https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

Honestly (and imnsho) the prevalence of that sort of thing makes it even less excusable for a large company like Adobe.

That is incredible.

Without a check for $STEAMROOT validity. I'm not sure you couldn't sue Valve for the incredible recklessness. That is just beyond the pale.

In general you can't. Most all software EULAs pretty much says you agree there is no warranty and no liability no matter what happens.

EULAs are not magic, at least in sane jurisdictions. A lot of stuff they contain is not legally binding.

Holy shit how have I never heard of this. That's an insane bug for Steam to let slip
