Yep, came to post this. I think I’ve spent more and more on Steam every year because they have actually stuck to this principle.

Don’t get me wrong I love GOG for the confirmed lack of DRM. But they just don’t do service like Valve.

I mean GOG Galaxy exists, which can even show you all games from GOG, Steam, Epic, … besides keeping your games updated.

It’s still not as good as Steam, but at least a better solution than manually checking and installing updates.

I would love to buy games from GOG, but they haven’t worked on a Linux version of GOG Galaxy. It’s back to a service issue again.

I would definitely say GOG has good service overall. The one time I had to return a game they were pretty helpful and accommodating. It’s just not at the level of Steam with a continual push of innovative and player-friendly features.

I’m on Linux where Heroic Launcher fills the app role, so GOG gets a smidge less credit there.
