So let's say I buy a game on Steam. I load it on my computer and then decide to go somewhere and want to load the same game on my laptop. Can I load the game on both computers or will Steam prevent me from doing so? What if I lose Internet connection for a few days, do I need an Internet connection to play Steam games? Suppose Steam goes out of business some day (maybe a competing company out sells them or something), what happens to my ability to play those games? Suppose, for whatever reason, Steam decides to stop supporting one of its games, maybe one that isn't selling very well but which I like, am I at the mercy of the Company's whims even after I buy the game?
Gary, the best advice would be to look through the steam library and try to find a really cheap game that interests you. Buy it and try it.See how you like the service. If you hate it,fine, you are out a few measley bucks. Thats how I did it. On your other questions: Steam is big..I dont forsee them closing shop for a long time, if ever.I cant recall which game it is, but I still have access to a game I bought about 5 years ago from a indie thru steam. Nobody plays it(probably) but its still available.And anyways, you can play offline if you want. YOu dont need to be constantly connected, unlike the way UBISOFT is doing it. You wont be able to get updates offline, but really, at that point the game company might not be making updates anyways....
