Hasn't Valve publicly stated that if they go out of business or something they will make all their games accessible? [1] Obviously a forum post isn't exactly top-tier evidence but if it's true that's at least a tiny bit reassuring. All that said, I usually buy my games off GOG when they're available there, simply because I like the guarantee that the games will continue to work even if they decide that I'm not cool enough to serve.

> Hasn't Valve publicly stated that if they go out of business or something they will make all their games accessible? Valve is currently facing a situation where a game on Steam that includes third-party DRM will completely stop working in September of this year. There's no way they'll be able to follow through on this commitment outside of their own titles. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/you-wont-be-able-to-redownload-assassins-creed-liberation-hd-from-september https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/you-wont-be-able-to-redownl...

  They refer to Steam DRM, which a lot of games use, not just their own. Of course that doesn't solve the issue for games that use some other DRM or that for some reason require some servers to run.
