Me: Hah, that's a funny joke!

Me: Say sike right now
If Steam were to release the ‘key’ at any point, it would allow us to access the games we’ve already bought and the servers. But if they don’t, all those games and online services will be gone once Steam ends.
Your disc, that you purchased at the store in-person or digital game you bought online, is not protected under the current laws, because it falls under a software agreement.
The game itself is still owned by the game companies and Sony has a disclosure in their agreement, that they do not have to guarantee any of the games will work on their consoles in the future, even if this is in-part, because of something pre-programmed on their part (such as requiring a time-sync to their servers to unlock the games).
Whether the company addresses/resolves this issue or not, is up to them, but this is just another word of a cautionary tale of the future we're in store from, when it comes to machinery and software, and rights to repair/play.
To note: Microsoft does a one-time authorization check on their current consoles, so they too, are no different, as there is no way around that issue without Microsoft's permission to play games you bought.
Also, for PC players... Steam has the same disclosure in their agreement, that if they shut-down their server, they don't have to reimburse anyone, as you're only paying to access the games through their online service.
Welcome to the future where you don't really own anything without their say-so.
