If anything ever happens to Gabe such that he can't run the company, that's the day I'm immediately downloading and backing up my entire steam library to a hard drive.

Wouldn't those games be locked up through steams DRM?

Some games from Steam can still be used without Steam's DRM. It's a little difficult to pull it off, but it can be done

Even then. If steam actually locks out out of your games, then I bet hacked will quickly put more effort to sidestep the drm and make that more easily accessible.
