My worst nightmare will be if Steam goes belly up. I have close to 400 games on it. Yikes even the very thought
You can demonstrate what that will be like with a simple experiment. Unplug your Internet connection, then open Steam anyway. It will say that it can only run in offline mode. Single player games will still work just fine, though.
Right now, Steam wants you to log into their servers at least once every few days in order for offline mode to still work. But if Valve were going bankrupt, they'd remove that check and let the games you've bought just work forever, at least if they're single-player games.
you install from steam servers though.
What's lame is they don't let you give away your account in will. At least as far as I'm aware
If you could 'rent' games it would have been a success, likely a large one. But that good ol' greed kicked in and everyone avoided it like the cash grab it is. Surprising stuff this isnt.

In a way, it is renting games. It's just that it's renting at new game purchase prices.
