Many steam games are DRM free and would work even if Steam shuts down. It’s been like this at least since 2011 or so (that’s when I discovered this, it could be earlier).
I guess the impact would depend on the types of game which one buys on Steam.
If you had them downloaded yes. But if you didn’t and they disappeared?
I would just a get pirated copy.
I haven’t pirated games in a very long time, but this seems like a fair thing to do in such a situation. If the game is cheap and/or I like the studio, I would probably just rebuy on GOG.
Only 4.2% of games on Steam are DRM-free. It’s not as many as people think.
Steam Offline mode is your best friend for archiving games forever.

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.
