I've been incentivised not to, because Steam + Proton work so well.

Probably worth downloading some backups and getting them running though, in case Steam decides to rug pull

Same here. Haven't even thought about pirating games because Steam is just working.

Seems to me that Spotify and Steam has been really successful preventing piracy in music and games, but the streaming movie industry has failed because they got greedy.

Yeah steam does it very well. On stuff like the switch, the prices are so crazy I immediately go hack my console. But in steam, prices were so much lower to the point in which I never thought about it.

I only recently started doing it when I noticed some games block you from playing offline.
