I still have every game I purchased; even ones that have long been pulled from the store.
The music cutting issue is valid. However, it can be overcome by leaving the game downloaded and turning off updates for it. Plus, the game will always be available, which was my point.
But the flip side to that is Steam also automatically moves games up a tier. So a base game bought at launch might get automatically updated to a special addition which includes all the DLC and/or texture pack updates.

I can still download the game, which is all steam promises. From there, I can make it work via VM.
