However, as of this post (Feb 2016), nobody can seem to find any such statements online anymore (if they did, in fact, once exist as we believe). Many gamers claim to remember (myself included) Valve making public statements in the early days of Steam (10+ years ago) that it would ensure that if the service ever went down gamers would be able to take their games offline. Other options aren't great since most games require at least CD-activation.

It should be possible to backup all your games with Steam in offline mode, but may take a lot of space. Many gamers believe that Valve has said in the past that it would make the games available offline, but no definitive proof is public right now. TL DR Summary: Valve has no legal obligation to do anything. If I can find out how the Z-Axis is supposed to register then I might be able to fix the problem.
UPDATE: I don't have a way of truly knowing if the issue is JoyToKey or just Windows, but in the Windows USB controller setup, the C-Stick corresponds to the Z-Axis, and it seems to be working okay. What can I do to fix this? If you need any more details or examples, I will post them, just let me know what you need. I have tried calibrating the controls via the Windows USB Game Controller setup, but it does not work (using Windows 8 64-bit by the way). In other words, if I push the C-Stick up-left, up, up-right, or right, JoyToKey registers the input, even though I set it to only register when I push the C-Stick left. If I program a key, say the letter "U" for example, to Left on the C-Stick, it seems to register all along the top of the C-Stick, but not the left. JoyToKey works perfectly with the controller, but the only command that does not function properly is the C-Stick. I noticed that programs on my computer weren't really recognizing my controller that was hooked in, so I got a free program called "JoyToKey" that accepts inputs from a controller and sets the input to a certain key on the keyboard.
I plugged the GC controller into Port 1 on the Mayflash adapter (it's a dual-port) and plugged the adapter into the USB on my computer.
