Your choice as Valve here is to either delist or not be in Russia. It is easy for me, as someone not in Russia, to cheer Valve to fight the good fight. But, it would suck if I were in Russia and suddenly lost access to my games.

Another reason not to rely on steam as a central point of failure.

Not a defense, but aren't a lot of the steam games at least runnable without the front end?

Not as much as GOG obviously, but some ?

Lots of indie games yes, but not so many of the AAAs
