    I fully support a good competitor to Steam like GOG. It may be less convenient than Steam but it has one key feature that no other shop has: no DRM.

      This is the best way forward. If GOG had more games it would change the industry. More companies need to partner with them.

        GOG still has that niche of the “old games.” Can’t think of anywhere else I could get DOS games from my childhood that also come with patches and updates to make them work on modern systems.

      Games that are sold on GOG are usually also DRM free on steam. Sometimes the steamworks DRM is required, but that’s so easy to trick that the games can still be considered DRM free.

      The only thing GOG does is pre-filtering for DRM free only.
