Poll: What if Steam were to stop existing
- Thread starter Lazy Kitty
- Start date
You arent the only one buying games off steam i have around 80 games on there.
For a start its not going to happen over night so a plan could be made and anyway valve have said they have plans for that sort of situation. I'd say it would be like when the microsoft locker closed and they gave everyone serial keys for all their products

Not much use for me, about 80% of my Steam games are online only (including L4D/L4D2, screw singleplayer).Twad said:
I'd be sad, pretty damn sad, since I've got a wonderful clan that focusses on Steam based games. I always have a blast with those people, they pretty much keep me gaming on the PC, I'd abandon my PC without them. Glad I've got my PS3 and 360 though.
2 reasons this wouldn't change much:
1) Valve would take care of it before going bust. They'd have a period (possibly a month or two) where you could DL standalone versions of the games you own. Also, there's currently a way to backup all your DLed games to DVDs so you can start backing up now if you want. Dunno if they'd work without the ability to log in, but I guess it could.
2) You could just download the games you owned through unofficial channels. I'm pretty sure this wouldn't count as piracy. You are allowed to own copies of games you already purchased right? Someone who knows more on the matter could enlighten us?
The real problem would be games which rely on Steam for on-line matchmaking (L4D, TF2).
EDIT: Then again, it IS illegal to change a game in any way, which would be required for the downloaded version (cracks etc). We need a lawyer in this thread.

Steam Goes offline, Valve will get sued out there ass, plain and simple.
At the end of the day. Someones gonna pocket some serious money, but the majority of users are going to be out a bunch. I've got 84 steam games. If steam were to go away, I really don't know what i'd do.
But it never will, Valve cares about its community more so than any other developer i can think of. And if it did, it would be to introduce something even better, and we wouldn't lose our steam games in the move.

Youre avatar is both fucked up AND awsome! And sickening *Bleeeehhhh*RAND00M said:
Well first thing I'd do is collect bets that HL EP3 would never be released. THEN I'd go cut my self in a corner.
No Valve no life blood.
Valve is the flow pipes of my soul maaaaaaaan *Hippy stare*
I would hardly give a rats ass. Steam fucking ripped me off a few months ago and deleted my account with no due cause, didn't even use cheats. They expected me to provide original receipts of the Halflife 2 download I got off steam 3 years ago. Fuck steam, I hope it goes down in horrible flames. I'll torrent their games from now on, they can suck it.
I shudder to think what a world without steam would look like. It would be a cold and dark place for sure.
I would be pretty damn annoyed. The whole idea of having my games forever tied digitally to some program annoys me as it is, but to suddenly lose it all would be a massive kick in the balls.
do you double click the post button or second click if the first seems to do nothing? that used to be the cause when it happened to meRebellionXXI said:
