Games that normally need the Steam client to run will only run in offline mode for 10 days according to "Monokuma" in ***this post***

As Draclvr says it may very well depend on the games you have.

Here's a long reddit thread showing people have a variety of experiences with offline mode

Are you playing them on a computer without an Internet connection?

It sure seems like they need to fix that password recovery system and it seems easy to do.

Not Going To Give Out The Easy Steps That I Think Hackers Could Use Here In A Public Forum but what they should require that when changing an Email address that one has to know what the previous one was before the change can be made.

Yes, in my Windows 7. They are old games that apparently didn't require opening in Steam online first as I did not do that. I have a lot of games downloaded that I had hoped to play before going offline but there were just too many. If some will play, I'll play them. If they won't, I guess I'll try them In Windows 10.

And yes, I believe not all games will play offline even for a day.
