You need a "launcher" just to download update, and it's not the most ideal for me. I prefer to have nothing between the button play (or click on the executable), and the game launch.
I agree with you, only online is totally stupid because the moment the service shutdown you lose everything. This is why GOG is good, because after buying a game, I can create backup on external disk. The only biggest problem for me is they don't have a good Linux integration for GOG Galaxy 2.
This is not perfect, but it's a better start than nothing. And it's difficult to do this because of DRM on other store.
What's wrong with just downloading a patch and pointing it to the directory the game was installed in?
But you actually can backup your steam games on a external drive.
