But I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. After all, some random
employee at Valve once said that if Steam ever went down, they'd make
it so we could all download and play our games without worrying about
the DRM, and I'm sure they'll honor this statement, despite it never
showing up in any of their license agreements and it being legally and
technically dubious that they could even DO that sort of thing. So who
cares if we have hundreds of games locked behind a Steam paywall and
the company goes under. We'll be fine 😉

I do remember that statement and although I think it should be technically possibly to either bypass or emulate Steam's DRM (obviously not 3rd party DRM) I'd be more concerned that Gabe is made an offer he can't refuse or if they are going down the tubes are they really going to make the company worse off financial.
