Still I will not buy all my games on Steam. You never know what next person will be in charge and will turn steam into garbage. Don't want to have all my games locked into one plattform.
Really wish Valve or at least Steam became a steward owned company to save it from future owners ruining it.
Would be cool.
But honestly, since I'm a Linux user and Valve has invested in Linux gaming, I'll stick with them for now. If they violate my trust, I'll move to GOG or something. In fact, now that Heroic gets a cut from GOG sales, I'm buying some of my games there, just to indicate to GOG that there's interest.
If a competitor comes along, I'll use them. But for now, Steam is the best option for me, so I'm rewarding them.
I tend to buy on both Steam and GoG. That way I can have my preferred client but also have downloadable full copies of games.
I always check GOG first when I want to buy a game
