As Steam gets more remastered titles (e.g. Metro Redux, Sleeping Dogs, etc.), their older counterparts are no longer available to buy on Steam (presumably to entice people to actually buy the remastered titles).

Now, these "old" versions of the games are in my library, but will they remain there? Will I still be able to play these games in the future (as I have no intention of buying the remastered versions)?
