I agree with you, I think the thought crosses a lot of peoples minds.

Valve has said they will release a patch that will allow these games to run without the service should they ever go bankrupt or whatever. I'm not positive if they will or not, but if they didn't the community would most likely fix that pretty quick.

I used to play a game called Interstate '76 back in the late 90's (great game) and Activision has long since shut down the multiplayer servers. This was over a decade ago and had nothing to do with digital distribution. There are many similar stories for other games out there as well. Luckily there are talented people out there that make other things possible.
