One day, Steamworks will also crap itself and we'll find ourselves in the exact same situation. But that day isn't today!

I don't pay $80 annually to play my Steam games online.
You can start steam offline, what is the issue?
Luckily PC has alternatives
If someone could actually compete with Steam, that would be great. Both gog and Epic don't have linux launchers and lack many releases. If Steam is offline, it will be console gamers laughing at us.
I mean, you literally don't even need the launcher from GOG to play/install the games
I just switched to Linux and there are multiple Launchers that support GoG. It is not official but honestly, that makes it better in my eyes. They are open-source, no bloat, no tracking, ...
Games not being on GoG is much more of an issue. :(
You have free internet?
