Regretting a decision doesn't make it an accident.

No it's not. If Steam goes down you cannot keep playing your games without using a crack to get around the DRM.
This is made up.
It's a green text lol.
GOG is the only big option if you want to own the games you purchase.
I think it's pretty clear from context that they mean they have the ability to perpetually play the games because of the lack of DRM, not the right.
Nobody is saying otherwise.

People here claim, that just because GOG cannot remote wipe your drive, people buying off GOG have a perpetual right to the games they've bought.

What they mean is that technically you still are being granted a license to use it. The same was true for things like DVD movies. They're technically correct, but missing the point.
I totally understand your point, but when people talk about "you own nothing" they don't really mean you "own" the content on physical media, they mean it doesn't have DRM that requires an online service. You're technically correct, but your pedantry is making you miss the forest for the trees, basically.
As great as Gaben and Valve are his word doesn't mean anything (it's not a personal attack either, it's just that it isn't anything binding). Luckily if they fail to keep their promises (or legally cannot) then the crack community will step in. I'm pretty sure they cracked Steam DRM ages ago. I remember a friend using it for Left 4 Dead back in the day.
This is legal.
