Steam appears to have started posting a notice in its shopping cart that purchases on its storefront are only for a license and not a game.

    It’s already legal to download backups in certain jurisdictions, for example in France.

    Also, it’s very undocumented but you can actually generate an offline installer for a copy of a game you own on steam. It will still require steam and to be logged in in offline mode with an account that has a licence, of course, but it is a thing you can do.

      Interesting. I’ll check that out. There’s a few games I would like to keep a backup of just in case.
