    My “best we got” was in regards to the potential to become a lot worse because of shareholder pressure. Given that CD Project is a publicly traded company, GOG is much worse in that regard than Steam.

    I fully agree that GOG, as it currently is, could be the better product for you depending on your values, but its defenses against enshittification are objectively much worse than Steam’s*, and that’s all I was talking about.

    *That is, until Gabe dies, I guess, who knows what’ll happen then

      Ah, I see. That’s a fair point, and yeah I do worry about GOG’s potential for enshitification. But knowing at least my past purchases will not become shit is some small comfort.

        Right, that’s definitely an important thing, that at least with gog, you can defend yourself against that possibility.
