If there's an offline game you love and play all the time, consider buying it again on GOG.com.

Check 2.1, GOG is the same.
If I back up a DRM-free installer what's the difference?
If you back up the folder of a steam installed game that doesn't need steam to run, what's the difference?
Owning the copy in a legal sense doesn't affect most of the userbase tbh.
