Would be good to see gog get more popular. Fuck drm
FYI games on Steam don't actually have to use any DRM. e.g. Kerbal Space Program -- you can download it, close the Steam client, copy it to another folder, unplug your network cable... then go launch the .EXE from its directory and play anyway.
True, and I've played GOG games that were misconfigured when using the downloaded installer but were fine when installed with their launcher. So its not as clear cut as it looks on the surface.
But I do wish steam promoted DRM Free games with a tag like they do gamepad support, family sharing, or steam workshop.
