Re:Steam is not healthy for gaming by bariereefwozere on Wednesday May 17, 2017 @04:03PM (#14362298)
I'm hoping GoG keeps up it's thing. Having standalone, downloadable installers for games makes me a lot more comfortable than a service which could potentially disappear or change it's terms.

Things like music licenses expiring and having that retroactively applied worry me [1]. Steam strikes me as a bit of a monopoly at this stage, and a 30% cut off all sales seems like money for jam - I'd be a bit less bitter if they offered excellent customer support or I felt they were doing something interesting with all the revenue.

Edit: I guess there's nothing to stop GoG disappearing either, but at least I have standalone installers if needed.
