Note I said "system / company", it does not specifically mean Steam.

Consider also:
Buyouts; no guarantee the new owner will keep original contracts the same (ie. might now charge)

or

Legal changes; unusual but not beyond the possibility that a legal issue may force the closure of service.

or

International Politics; equally unusual, but you never know.

4 weeks ago Gadaffi's power was seen solid and stable.
2 weeks ago every scientist and engineer in Japan would swear no nuclear powerplant will fail due to an earthquake.


What can I say, $hit happen$
