You can still play all your games without access to your steam account...
Um, no you can't. If Valve disable your account, the only games that will still work are those few that don't make use of Steam's DRM - see examples here, here or here to take just 3 examples of the thousands that can be found.

I think there is, actually. From the time when i paid insane amount of money for complete piece of shit which was Dragon Age 2...
"Unauthorised copying" (a more accurate term for what used to involve planks and parrots, but has now moved on to speedboats and RPGs) has one big benefit to the general public - lower prices. Publishers set pricing on what they consider the market will bear, and if a market has high levels of copying they will offer a lower price to compensate. The biggest example currently is Russian games pricing which is dramatically lower, for the same product, than what US/EU customers are charged. Conversely, Australasians tend to face higher prices, even with digital goods where manufacture/transport is a non-issue.

This isn't a new phenomena either - before the IBM PC became ubiquitous, prices varied between different formats for the same games, again based upon the degree of copying. ZX Spectrum games were sold for less than their BBC Micro equivalents, Apple II users saw higher prices than Commodore 64 owners and Atari ST prices were cheaper than their Amiga (or IBM PC) equivalents.

So the OP's failing, in my view, is coming on board with an overly-aggressive posting style and doing so on the very day that the fully DRM-free GOG launched their version of Divinity Original Sin (which depending on location, may be cheaper that Steam pricing).
