A few things here:
First, just an FYI, you do realize with older OS becoming obsolete and unsupported, you can't play older games properly.
Example, I had Scrapland and Windows XP 64. I could not install it because of the security system, telling me I needed Win XP. So I contacted support, what did they tell me? Install Windows XP. Thanks guys.
Also, when the Lost Planet demo came out same issue, but I got the demo off of Steam, and lo and behold, it works.
Second, do you honestly think that Valve only has a single HDD with all the games and their databases on it? They have several all over the world, with multiple copies. There will not be any harddrive failures where everybody loses their games. If you actually think that, you are really out of touch with reality.
Third, do you think a physical copy means you own the game? No it doesn't. You own a license to run a game. Any company can revoke those licenses under their discretion and thus the game is deemed illegal for all intents and purposes. But you don't care right. Your a bad boy, aren't you? Your going to play the games regardless, fighting against the machine.
Fourth, what does it matter if they can see your games or not? Is it really that important in your life that you need to get validation from your friends over physical possessions? Quite the pathetic life if you ask me.

I don't game with friends, and I sure as hell don't like shit running in the background when I play a game. Mainly because if I am playing a single-player game, I like to turn my Internet OFF. (Thanks C&C4 for fu..ing me on that one. -_-)
