Steam has an entire backup system built in.  I have backup copies of my digital games.  A few clicks and my entire library is on a secondary drive.  

If Gabe decided he likes boats so much that he would like to spend every single penny on buying as many of them as possible and Steam would be permanently shut down today, how many of these backed up games would still work without going thorugh Steam client tho?

Replace Steam with GOG and let us make this discussion. Sure, I have to backup my GOG games as well, but I also have to store my physical games. And as long as GOG is still around, I actually can get a new copy from them. But when they shut down, I can still play my games.

I would actually argue that in theory digital games are better for the consumer than physical. The only reason why they are actually worse is because of DRM. So let us replace Steam with GOG.
