    Someone actually emailed Valve about this back in 2013. Here’s their response: https://i.imgur.com/4sa1Ln6.jpg

    Thank you for contacting Steam Support. In the unlikely event of the discontinuation of the Steam network, measures are in place to ensure that all users will continue to have access to their Steam games.

    It seems like Valve wants us to think they have an EoL plan. With the goodwill they’ve built over the years, I want to believe them.

      Which makes me quite happy, unfortunately they’re the exception rather than the norm

      Not counting GOG though, they’re great with the No DRM thing. It means that they don’t need more of an EoL plan then telling people, “Hey download your installers, we shutting this bitch down in 30 days mother fucker.”
