You know, the people who “ensured that the voice of a responsible games ecosystem is heard and understood” (direct quote from their website).

if 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.
