Hey, so for some time now i had this problem... I have been buying games from both gog and steam... No drm option is good on gog but there are some festures missing from what steam has, for example being able to buy games from trading cards... What should i do? Focuse on buying games from gog and if there isnt a game then buy it on steam? Or maybe just buy games on steam?

But they can take it away, if they want to. They just haven't done so yet. Unless you own DRM free installation media, you don't own a game. Steam has been relatively low on the enshittification scale so far, but there is no guarantee that this will never change. Once Gabe is out and the beancounters take over, it'll go the way of all corpos.

Technically yes, and probably if Gog did the same we would have time to download it before they removed it out of our libraries.

But I was thinking: what happens when we die.

The games will be transferred to the great SSD in the sky.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
