Good for you. That’s the way. I’ve only ever bought one game from steam and it cost me $0.99. Most of my games are from GOG where I can actually download the .exe file because I should be able to, because I own the fucking game. I know there are drm free games on steam, but I’ve always liked GOG. I have a bunch of games .exe files backed up in several places. I also have a bunch of PS4/PS3/PS2 games, physical copies.
Valve has made it so I can game entirely on linux. I remember when Steam started and I hated it, I didn’t want an account. But after all these years its been nothing but ways that benefit me.
I like GOG but they can’t be bothered to even create a library tool. Yes third party ones exist, but you would think they could at least try.
And in the end, if it all goes away, it was just games. Not like I couldnt get them back if I really tried, and if you really wanted to do something about it, you CAN archive your steam library.
