What do you mean by "play it on Steam"?  While you might need the Steam softwarwe to install it, anything I've bought on Steam has downloaded and installed on my PC and runs locally.

Years ago, Steam had a way to let you make backups of your games so you could more easily re-install them later. One of the options would have it make CD-R or DVD-R images so you could burn your backups to optical discs, though I imagine most people probably aren't doing that anymore..  It looks like Steam still has a way to create a backup of a game though.
