Many steam games are DRM free and would work even if Steam shuts down. It’s been like this at least since 2011 or so (that’s when I discovered this, it could be earlier).
I guess the impact would depend on the types of game which one buys on Steam.

Steam Offline mode is your best friend for archiving games forever.

If you had them downloaded yes. But if you didn’t and they disappeared?

Only 4.2% of games on Steam are DRM-free. It’s not as many as people think.
