We can switch to piracy. I don't only because of the benefits steam offers. If that ever changes in a way that tips the scale I'll never buy a game from them again and I'd never need to. Even if they start making all new games online only in a way that can't be circumvented there's a big enough backlog of games to keep me going the rest of my life.

This so much. The thing for me is, pirated I get everything from my library back FOR FREE. So there is no loss money wise for changing things up for me. Without the convenience and fairness there is nothing holding me there. at all.
