Do you back up all your steam files and games on a seperate HDD? I know it sounds paranoid, but eventually valve won't be such a friendly company. It happened to Activision back in the 90's. It'll happen to Valve one day too. 

Depends, if it's a large ass file like GTA, Witcher 3 or Ark, then yeah I'll keep those backed up as I don't want to spend hours downloading them again. I do this with mods for Fallout, Skyrim, Witcher etc, that use Nexus mod manager. Some mods end up being removed or unsupported, so I definitely save those on another drive.

I don't really see Valve pulling an Activision and getting away with it. EA and Ubisoft I can see doing it, as it's their own games on their own store and they have their fingers in multiple markets.

That just reminded me that companies are free to take thier games off the steam store anytime they like. So if more companies come out with something like U Play, or Origen and take their games off Steam, that could kill it without Valve going bad.
