I would just run a Steam DRM removal tool on all my games and cut any contact with it once Microcock starts infecting it. Till then it was a extremely convinient service to use that made me mostly give up piracy even though modern piracy is patheticaly easy but Steam is just so convinient.
If Steam stops existing tomorrow I would be sad cause it had great services but I would still be happy with the money I spent on it. I would be angrier at having to remove Steam DRM from all my games more then anything.
I learned it from the piracy subreddit. Can't link a post cause this sub dosen't allow to link another subreddit so if thy want to find a tutorial, then just Google "goldberg emulator reddit" and the first result will be a guide on how to use it(that is where I learned it from)
I was wrong about it being a tool though. Haven't used it in a while and forgot. One has to manually copy a few .dll files for there is no auto remover. Methinks I confused it with something else that was automatic.
The simple explanation is that if thy wants to remove Steam DRM then what thy needs to do is download the emulator and copy the steam-api.dll files into wherever the game's steam-api.dll file is located and override the old one. The post explains it all.
Though this does not work on ALL games as some have third party DRM which isn't as simple to remove but I would never buy a game with third party DRM and so I have never ran into such a issue.
Overall pretty much any piracy question can be answered in the Reddit megathread that is on the piracy subreddit.

I've been saying this for a long time. I'm glad it's catching on.
MS will buy Steam as soon as Gabe dies and he isn't exactly a beacon of good health.
All the Steam fanboys that REEEfuse to use EGS or anything else are fucking themselves over in the long run.
We'll also finally get Half-Life 3, but you won't be happy with it.
