That's why GOG.com is my first choice. They even provide a nice Steam-like installer (unfortunately, no Linux version of the installer), while letting you download your games DRM-free, archivable and standalone.

Not all of the games on GOG are DRM-free at this point. Some require GOGGalaxy, their version of the steam client. I went through a frustrating refund process after learning about this after making a purchase.

I have yet to find a game that absolutely requires Galaxy. Could you share which game was it?

Hero's of Hammer watch required it, and would not run without it.

Only game that requires Galaxy is Gwent, and it's free to play.

Really? That sucks, DRM-free has been their major selling point from the start. Why was the process frustrating and which game was it?
