That's how I feel, and it makes me unhappy. I don't want to lose Braid and Bionic Commando Rearmed forever just because my Harddrive fried after the service was discontinued.
Just wanted to say that games like Braid, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and World of Goo have also been released on Steam. There are cracked/downloadable verions of each of these games that can basically be called "hard copies". However, I'm not sure how console-exclusive download games can be backed up and played in the future.
