If steam ever shut down people would riot lol

It would be a catastrophic event but I doubt we could do much, aside from Valve maybe unlocking steamworks' DRM (which is easy to crack anyway)

Yes. If steam shuts down, I'll probably just stop purchasing games entirely.

Maybe I'm a dying breed, but I don't feel like own something if I can't put my hands on it physically. I view Steam as leasing and not ownership. I've bought a fair amount of stuff on it over the years, but I don't feel like I actually own it.
