Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE
Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoif gabe could come out with a statement that if steam had to shut down for some reason he’d try to make sure people get to keep playing their games they have downloaded he’d probly cause these guys to have an aneurysm, but I doubt even gabe would go that far
You can (could?) reach out to Steam Support, and this is part of the email they reply with:
“In the unlikely event of the discontinuation of the Steam network, measures are in place to ensure that all users will continue to have access to their Steam games.”
Not sure if they ever expounded upon those details though.
To my knowledge, they have not.

He did say something similar years ago if I recall correctly but we never got any details and it was so long ago it’s hard to guess whether that’s still the plan. Reassurance or update on that wouldn’t be unwelcome, that’s for sure.

It was a long time ago, but I thought I heard Steam would release the encryption keys.

Either way it’s pure speculation considering something truly massive would have to happen for Steam to even get to this point.
