For example, I still don't use Epic. And I've probably even paid on Steam for games that Epic gave away for free.

What's worrying is Steam has enough mass to preclude me from buying games on GoG to a point. Linux support, for one. Frictionless playing on a Deck if i choose to get one in the future, for two. Steam built in streaming, for three.

I bought GoG first for a couple years, but now I'm agnostic again. Esp with games that have Linux versions.

Still, the only games you really own are those you've downloaded the crack for. Unless they're from GoG and DRM free.

And only if you have a good backup strategy :)
