Hey, so for some time now i had this problem… I have been buying games from both gog and steam… No drm option is good on gog but there are some festures missing from what steam has, for example being able to buy games from trading cards… What should i do? Focuse on buying games from gog and if there isnt a game then buy it on steam? Or maybe just buy games on steam?

    The difference is you can download and keep the installers from gog and back it up yourself. Gog just acts as a store front and download service. You always keep it. It’s the only true form of software ownership. If you had your steam account removed right now, some games you have installed would no longer launch.

      Some games you have bought on gog would also not launch if the publisher decides it. Not all gog games are DRM free.
      OTOH, some games have no DRM on steam (not even the steam DRM), and can be kept on your machine forever.
      Neither option is a silver bullet for DRM free games, even if way more are available on gog.
