it doesn't delist games whenever it feels like it.

You're still trusting a company to have your game library available in the future. Gaben will die at some point, someone will take over for him, we don't know what will happen with Valve in 10, 20 or 30 years...

I won't allow it.

Maybe someone with a better grip on work teams and projects will finally come to an end and we'll get HL3 at last!

I mean, out of all the companies that I have boight stuff from, Valve is the one I trust the most

Why? Unless it's DRM free and you've got a copy downloaded then your shit can be wiped out whenever they feel like it and it's not as if accounts have never been banned from the platform, cutting people from thousands of dollars worth of stuff...
