Official client and support for my platform of choice is a big plus only Steam bothers to have.

Steam doesn't enforce the use of its DRM (which is super easy to bypass anyway but that's a side note).

Steam lets you publish your game on their platform and hand out as many keys as you like to resell on other platforms (at no cost) while still doing all the heavy lifting of hosting and distributing.

Steam doesn't decide what kinds of titles get published on their platform any more than GoG does, so the bit about remasters, etc. is a bit weird. Besides you the user should get to decide what you want to buy and play.

I love GoG, but I love Steam as well. They're not mutually exclusive and you can have both.

Wouldn't Steam, with TF2, be the most costumer oriented?

On being customer oriented on the other hand, Steam could use some improvement.

It's ironic that a platform hell bent on providing DMR-free games and preserving them doesn't seem interested in supporting the one OS in-line with their views.

Meh, Proton alone makes me like Steam a bit more than GOG. Itch.io is also nice, but for some shitty reasons, they have some problems with my debit card. While it is nice to support small devs, I hate to support Peter Thiel the absolute piece of human garbage with my payment.

Call me when GOG Galaxy supports Gnu/Linux.

Corporations aren't your friend.

What sort of costumes do they do?

Gog doesn't have lower prices for poorer regions. Paying 20-50% more for noDRM is no-no for me.

I'm not trying to defend anyone here, though it might seem like that, but I'm not sure why valve is lumped in with this, especially since that's the steam logo.

Steam, as a platform, hasn't released much of anything, ever. Valve has been sitting mostly on the sidelines since half-life 2 episode 2 and HL:Alyx.

Steam itself is just a marketplace.

I get that a lot of publishers on steam will fall into the categories of games that are the subject of the meme, but I have a hard time piling steam with the games that are published on it.

And yes, corporations are not our friends, and all billionaires are bad billionaires, eat the rich and all that.... I'm just saying. There's a lot of bigger, much worse, fish to fry than gaben, valve, and steam in this discussion. That could have been EA's logo, or the Xbox logo (or ms game studios or whatever) or any number of massive publishers that are relevant here. Using the steam logo is lazy at best.

Costumer oriented

Opposite problem:

Reject consumerism, embrace FOSS.

I feel like GOG would be more popular if their client were better. Maybe more usable with a controller too?

And something that would help competition in the game launcher space in particular would be if OSes had great built-in controller support (and controller OS navigation) so we wouldn't have to rely on Steam for it.

Or piracy>:)

I think these days, "costumers" are called "cosplayers"

What's the blue middle one? Don't recognize the icon.

An under-discussed topic is what will happen to Steam after Gaben crosses the rainbow bridge. It's practically begging to be enshittified.

With games I own, I never have to worry about this.

Old? I got Silksong from them on release day.

I'd love to play DRM games but I also love DRM free operating systems and apparently both at once is too much for the transphobes at CDPR to handle
