I've got half a mind to buy on GOG instead, just to get some more assurances around access in the distant future when Gabe passes. Steam just provides such a better service with controller support and the reviews though.
GOG is fine but it has a tiny library by comparison, lacks pretty much all the features of Steam, and doesn't support Linux at all.
Those are all very good points and are things the Epic launcher hasn't been able to improve on either despite having bazillions of dollars.
Can’t argue with that, it would be nice for GOG to have:
Those are really steam’s best features, and if GOG had those I’d likely stop buying steam games
GOG does have cloud saves and actually provides a more convenient way to manage them, unlike Steam, which kept restoring my ancient RimWorld saves for hours until I could finally convince it to get rid of them.
However, the storage space is smaller than Steam. Also, there's no equivalent of Steam's Workshop on GOG.
Ah that’s good to know, thanks!
DRM-free is the biggest positive of GOG. Steam Family Sharing recently has been just so pro-consumer as well though. I gave my mate my old steam deck after getting the OLED deck, and he's now got a library of 200+ games right out the gate.
Afaik gog galaxy does do cloud saves.
