How do you use a Steam game after its license was revoked?
Same as GOG: piracy.
You’re purposely ignoring the obvious differences between GOG and steam to fit what you believe. Have fun with that
The differences are practical, not legal. He is right in the end
Practical difference is all that matters in most instances. If a law cannot be enforced, it is irrelevant.
By default Steam is a mere download manager without any DRM. You can zip the game folder and back it up anywhere. Whether or not publishers go through the additional steps to enable one or more DRM solution is a different matter. My favorite Steam games have no DRM at all.
