Stuff like this is the main reason why I only buy from Steam if I can help it. GOG has a noble anti-DRM goal, but Valve is doing a lot more stuff that matters. Besides, I count Steam’s apathy towards their own easily-bypassed DRM as effectively DRM-free at this point, and as far as I understand Steam’s DRM is also voluntary for game devs to use.
Me too. If GOG would support Linux, I would have chosen to buy there too. Valve is actively developing on Linux related stuff and their client and software is supporting Linux. Steams DRM is not anti consumer in a way usually DRM is. It allows us to play offline in example and does not get in our way. Off course DRM free is the best case, but without official Linux support I don’t want to buy from GOG.
