    Sure, but at least Steam allows you to burn backups of games to a disc. Haven’t seen other platforms let you do that yet

      There’s a whole platform whose whole shit is selling you games that you can back up and keep forever. GOG is the only one that will never take your library away from you, unlike Steam who can and has before

        not that I disagree with you, but what happens if GOG’s server get shutdown for whatever reason? would that put us out of anything we didn’t download?

          I mean, yeah. Not downloading your installers is a bit like buying a disc at GameStop and telling the cashier to hold on to it until you want to play it
