What if... Steam discontinues - What would you lose?

I'd actually win a lot of free time.
Doesn't sound that bad after all^^

I believe GabeN has said before in an interview that if Steam ever goes bust, that they would do their best to maintain customers' access to their games

explain the cause of it first

I would go Hollow!

Actually, I'm pretty sure most of use would gain a lot of freedom back if that was going to happen :thinking:

It Steam is dead then I will be saved.

Thanks to GOG connect I would at least keep a few of my games:)

I dunno what's the meaning of life if Steam discontinued.

Should have added "my only respect and reputation!" instead of "online"

Hmm let me see, tons of money down the drain! :O

Would lose a good chunk of my gaming investment!

Would get a lesson ... Investment in digital goods cannot have any sense.

Well I suppose there's a loss of investing all that money into the games but if you have them all downloaded and they removed the Steam DRM for the ones that need it I'd be okay assuming I have my entire library downloaded already given enough warning in advance to do so it wouldn't be too big an issue for me.

I'd lose a life but luckily I'd still have 2 left.

I can say what we will win, at least :

A strike/riot in France.

That would make me wanna lynch Gabe. xD The good thing though is that I've never spent any real money on steam. The bad thing is that I would lose so many games and virtual money. ;_;

I woul loose nearly my whole pc game collection haha.

Wouldn't lose much in the way of games. I'd just pirate all the ones I previously owned. Wouldn't feel particularly bad about it since from a moral stand point I HAVE earned them. Mostly I'd miss this site and community, I think

I would lose a lot. Not sure if I would be more upset about the loss of all my games or, the fact microsoft would be so happy.

I would lose a lot of money but most important I would lose my hobby. My great, not too expensive, don't need anyone, can do it any time hobby.
Chasing games on SG.

We would not lose anything because another company would buy it.

Maybe we will go back to boring real world, talk to real NPC and die permanent death.

I like Steam but I think this scenario would end up being an almost perfect opportunity for GOG to rise up and I think that we would see a LOT more DRM-free games if it ever happened.

The day that steam will be discontinued could be the same day that the internet disappears from the earth, and this day will be the same that the potable water, electricity, gas are gone too, probably this is the day of the end of the days...

Hell yeah, the apocalypse is here, so what matters the games, items and online reputation when we'll have a lot of fun trying to survive...

anyway I will miss the sales......
