Wrong, the day Valve goes belly up they'll release a patch to steam allowing you to play all of the games you purchased without running steam (Effectively making steam useless, although this will be a pain since I've got all my games shortcutted through steam). I can't be bothered to find the reference right now but I've read it a few times now.

EA and Ubisoft would never agree to that. Maybe Valve would do that for their own products but the major publishers would not.

Hopefully that list will be expanded to include crysis warhead. My copy has got the "you have used up all your installs" message. I think this is because I was swapping out my RAM a lot but I didn't think that was counted as a major hardware change.
