Yes, but you can't launch the game without Steam (I think some game can be start without Steam but I'm not sure). And i prefer to own my game, and the possibility to change how i launch the game (with or without the launcher).

It's far from ideal solution, but you can create offline backup on steam and after steam fall, launch your games from it.

And yes, some games are launchable without steam. For instance Darkest Dungeon 1.
