I get the sentiment but not owning it does not equal not enjoying it. You never play any games with friends that only come out on steam? For some single player games I can understand waiting until they release on GOG but many (or like, most) never do.
That is wise. I wish they had more than the old games and the handful newer ones. Their moment will come when gaben signs off and steam will enshittify
I was a pirate since the 80s. I even financed my first sports car with warez-cds 😁
But steam does have its merits. Don’t worry about updates. As only the major games get updates by pir8s. But as steam’s DRM is trivial, it’s kinda easy-piracy. I already have like 50TB downloaded. If they ever go nuts I’ll download all my favourites and write a script to un-drm them.
And I would love for gog to have current games too. Would stop buying at steam, but 99% of what gog has to offer I already have on steam for many years
$0.00.
I never buy games on Steam. If you buy it, and can’t keep it, you don’t own it.
I have Steam for a handful of free titles. The rest I buy from GOG.

I only play a few single player games.

Yeup, it’s probably an inevitability. I’m big on GOG and pirating, any sort of digital preservation.
