Not quite. With Steam you can download the game files. Yes getting them to run without steam is a little trickier, but its not quite the same as stadia. That's a total loss of any form of ownership.
- Thaxll 6y agoYou can download the files but it's not your game it's just some gamefiles that most likely won't work without steam / internet. Tomorrow Steam shutdowns you lose every games, period.
- dx87 6y agoNo you don't. Devs don't have to use Steam's DRM if they don't want to, so you won't lose every game. Period.
- babuskov 6y agoMost games do use DRM. However, you can use Steam client in offline mode as long as you were last logged into your primary account. So, even if Steam shuts down, you can still run the games on your computer. So, you really won't lose any game.
- breakfastduck 6y agoThis is just blatantly false
- lightgreen 6y agoI cannot imagine casual player doing such things. It's only a theoretical possibility.
- judge2020 6y agoAny mass-extinction event for Steam would most likely mean an application/tool would be widely distributed which removes drm from their already-installed games.
- robotnikman 6y agoMost of the time you can just launch the game executable and it works fine for most games
