Yeah, I suspect not only would we see a bunch of cracks released for games that now have no way to update to try to kill the cracks, but we’d probably see something like emulation of steam to get around it.

Generic stream emulators already exist and is how a vast number of games are “cracked”

Heck, there’s at least one opensource generic steam emulator that you just drop into the game files. I used it before when messing around with modding a multiplayer game, to run multiple copies at once.
