You make me wonder what I should do to preserve my Steam account now... Maybe there's some way to get a VM image of the computer in offline mode?

Steam DRM is even more trivially defeated than Amazon DRM. Drop 4 files in the game folder and run it.
Which four?
I don't dare look this up on a work machine, but a google in the general direction of "Steamworks emulator" should get you going. The files in question are modified Steamworks DLLs (x86 and x64), an info file that holds the Steam metadata for the game, and a launcher to read it.
Hrm. DDG shows one (unhelpful) result for that. Google sent me running in circles. Has this emulator been taken down?
