Copy that floppy!
This is great and advisable.
But what about online only games that can be nuked whenever the publisher feels like it?

Probably depends on the game. I'm pretty sure more popular games or games with a sizable amount of dedicated fans, like the TF2 community, have probably already found a way to make their own private servers or at least are working on it.
TF2 has official private server support, from day 1 I think.
Had absolutely no idea. Good to know.
