unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups

Going to have to plug GOG here as these are both things they offer. I try to buy games there instead of Steam, purely for this reason.

Note that this is a major selling point for GOG and available on most of their library, but unlike their early days, not everything is DRM-free.
