What I was talking about was the removement of the TAGES DRM via patch.
However, you're very right with what you said about Steam. Yes, there definitely is the possibility of Valve going bankrupt, even if this possibility is basically on the same level as facebook simply vanishing from the internets
The guys in charge at Valve however said in an official statement once that in case they should ever have to close their service, they'd provide people to run self created backups (already possible through Steam) of their games without having to use the Steam application itself (not possible yet). But of course, we only have their word. If they would keep it in such a situation, nobody knows. Hopefully we won't even have to find out.
