I do pirate games that I buy on Steam - just to have a backup copy in case something happens to my account. I want to truly own my media. Nonetheless, this is the only place I have paid for media since we ditched the DVD player)

Many Steam games are DRM-free, they're just not advertised that way. Try copying the game files elsewhere and shutting down Steam, for most older games, they'll still just work.

The games I bought were fairly new indies. Didn't think about that though!
