Perhaps you shouldn't pay for garbage games you can't own in the first place?
No one cares about your single experience, pcBlack person.

What exactly is the issue?
for some reason people still think you can't play steam games offline
Offline mode has never worked for me. It tells me I need to sign online first to go into offline mode. Sorta defeats the purpose.
It usually works, but there are a few caveats.
First of all, if you have pending updates to Steam itself then it won't work. Let it update when it asks.
Second, you need to have Steam saving your credentials (see pic, this box must not be ticked).
Third, a game that had pending updates when you went offline won't work.
I don't usually have any of those as issues, I'm online, steam goes down, and if I'm already online, it works. But if, say, my own internet is down and I want to play my games, it will just say "You need to sign in to enter offline mode" and that's it. Never had an issue with steam maintenances, just when my own internet is down for an hour or two. Really blows though.
Yeah the problem is that if you trigger any of those 3 issues, you won't be able to play the game you want, which might happen if you're used to a working connection.
If your internet is unreliable then make sure you keep both Steam and the games you play up to date and it should work.
I do
and I'm telling you, I don't have any of those issues, but if I were to unplug my ethernet right now, and open steam, I would try to start in offline mode and it would say "Unable to start in offline mode, connection error". It has just NEVER worked for me. Thankfully I DO have a stable connection, but no fix has ever worked for me, and steam support is about as helpful as mental stability in a 'higher education' institution.
The reason I'm saying all that is because I've tried that very same thing, unplugging the ethernet and seeing how Steam reacts, and every time it just asks me to start in offline mode and lets me play all the games I already have installed.
Even so I much prefer options that let you not use a client at all just in case, such as GOG's offline installers, but still I never have issues with Steam even when my connection goes down.
I know, I appreciate you saying it, just saying it must be something to do with my hardware, but thankfully it's uncommon enough to not really bother me.
And yeah, I haven't bought a lot on steam in many years, since they stopped doing flash sales in holiday events, really. The sales are no better than average prices on key sites, so, I just use those, or I go to gog, or frick, if I'm honest, even origin is better at giving me access to my games at any time.
Yeah I get your point I think. Even though Steam "works" for me because I don't have any problems with it right now, I'd much rather have all my games as offline installers GOG style because even if everything works right now, there's no guarantee it'll work tomorrow.
Which reminds me, I need to refresh my offline GoG library backup once again.

i wonder what shithole you guys live were steam is down
>Something happens to my disk
>Can't play "my" games
The WEF is right about everything and you can cry a river about it.
Duh. Of course the people running the world are right about how the world will run in a few years.
WEF is more of a talk show than the opinion of anyone that actually matters in the world.
not that anon but whose opinion do you figure actually matters in the world?
Right now? House Of Saud. Shell. BP.
Energy is the true and only currency of the world. As it is right now, Oil has control of the world.
Data is the new oil
You can't use data without energy.
nice cope
>Something happens to my disc
>Can't play "my" games
ah yes, one copy as opposed to every single copy including those that can still be bought
I want to protect his smile.
acting like a moron does not bring your games back
>wtf damaged physical objects don't work
Remember you will own nothing and you will be happy
Reminder that bots and shills were both programmed to "disrupt Steam's organic traffic."
Note that these threads have no educational intent (for example, to show solutions how to play Steam games offline, or even discuss possible alternatives that are better for us gamers/consumers), they're basically marketing campaigns that use pejorative images/memes/terms to try to demoralize Steam users.
Finally, see that the possible human shill behind these threads have extremely limited knowledge of games and Steam itself.
>these threads have no educational intent
There still might be dumb Steam users who think they own the games they lease from GabeN.
Shit, I sure do.
Skill issue.

why pay the money? cut out the middle man and just pirate your games at that point
Store awareness implies that people don't know about their shitty "alternatives" to Steam.
They really try everything except making their product better.
>mfw steam is down and people can still play their games
I waited longingly for the smile that didn't come.
>smiles never comes
deep, this is genuine social commentary
steam is working fine here.
maybe there's some maintenance in your region server
shoulda used GOG
How often are you going to post this thread?
Is this a good use of your life?
>mfw Ganker is down and I can’t post “my” thread
I'm from EU, just turning on my graphics card will cost 10 bucks per hour
If people can't see I'm playing gay furry porn games then there's no point, I agree with op, it is a big deal. Just build a fricking backup server so the platform stays only 100%, what the frick, don't pretend like you don't have the money
you're supposed to click on "launch in offline mode" when you have the popup you moron
Steambros, answer this question.
What happens to your Steam library of valve goes out of business tomorrow?
In the absurdly unreasonable situation you're suggesting, I'd lose my games.
The same as if the bank I have all my money in would disappear overnight, I'd lose all my money.
>In the absurdly unreasonable situation you're suggesting
Ok, so push it forward to 5 or 10 years from now. You will eventually lose all your games. There is zero promise to keep your library in perpetuity.
Not that anon, but if steam goes away and I lose everything I will simply raise the flag from then on. As long as steam works I don't mind waiting for a great deal or humble bundle to buy shit I want, but if I can't do that I will simply get everything I want day one. Of course I can do that right now, but I like the easy of buying/use/playing with steam. No steam and I have no excuse to give corporations/companies/developers any money.
The reason you do what you do is because you're mindless consoomer happy to pay for his goyslop
Realistically speaking, Steam won't go down within 5-10 years.
Steam is bigger than any single console. Even if Valve ended up in a dead-end situation where they have to sell the company, which is extremely unlikely, "Steam" itself won't be dissolved within 10 years because it's more valuable than Xbox or Playstation, perhaps even more valuable than Nintendo.
>The same as if the bank I have all my money in would disappear overnight, I'd lose all my money.
That's not how it works. kiddo. The government will step in if this were to happen. FDIC in the USA is one example.
Nothing, seething consolebaby.

You go watch Evangelion because that's all that matters in life as an Eva connoisseur.
>Play non-steam game or use offline mode
Woah, is it that hard?
>Have all my steam games installed on a separate hard drive
>Patch and remove drm with various tools
Simple as. Not that different from patching older games that don't work on new hardware.
If you're afraid of this shit, you need to be prepared, now whine about it. This shit can happen to any company even without all the drm nonsense.
what would happen if tomorrow a nuke dropped in your city? huh... no answer libtard?
