I keep track of Battle.net 2.0 emulators in hope of ensuring that my 60$ to StarCraft II isn't wasted in case of Blizzard going tits up.
Valve has publicly stated, however, that if their services are going to end (ie Valve dies), they will release a patch to remove Steam DRM from purchased games.
That, at least, is volumes more than any other publisher that has embraced DRM has stated to the public.
But I have massive misgiving about Online-Only DRM.
I like Steam only because I can run it offline for some time without a hitch.
