    Well you shouldn’t buy into any company that can unilaterally remove access to all your games, but Valve’s kinda been a breath of fresh air in terms of how they treat their customers.

    GOG’s the alternative if you want to keep your games forever, as they’re DRM free so you can just keep the installers. Even if they close down you’ll retain access as long as you kept a copy.

      And you can also lookup which games are DRM free on Steam and copy those for a backup.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love GOG and own many games and have backups of my own, but if you’re that paranoid(that steam will go belly up and everything deleted) then you might as well not buy any games and just pirate everything.
