I mean a physical copy of the games. I originally thought Steam would just give you the game on your hard drive to prevent illegal distribution. I am surprised they would keep a cloud service so if your hardware goes under you still have the games.

Say the cloud fails, are you unable to play the games?

What if they move to a better platform than Steam? Like an old MMO, will you no longer be able to access the titles you once owned?

Maybe the cloud is only for downloading the games and is useful as a backup. Still, I don't like the risk of perhaps losing them in the future. It is the reason I disagree with premium downloadable content or other products on the consoles.

I like how it manages your game library. Still, that is little use to use a program. I often like to go to the program folder as I often customize files.
