If you generalize enough, everything is a ticking time bomb. Some may have a low amount ticks left (lifespan or a hamster) and some quite big (lifespan of the Sun).
Well, some games are dependent on online mode, or don’t make sense in offline mode. Especially MMOs. In the end, it’s just shutting down the game servers.

Anything on steam is probably not going to make it to 2050.
Steam at least promised the games be playable without needing Steam to be online.
A promise they have never honored. This was made blatantly clear when the steamdeck came out.
Only some games can run in offline mode.

Got any specific names?
Almost every of the 1000 games in my steam account. Almost every game on there has coherent singleplayer mode.
