I mean at that point you can just make backups of your steam games too. A lot work straight from the exe and for the rest there are steam simulators.

Well, gentlemen. I guess we got this all sorted out. Not a big deal, after all.

A small minority of GOG games have DRM, a majority of Steam games have a form of DRM. “Use a simulator” isn’t a solution, I shouldn’t need a third party program to play the games I paid for.

Also there’s a pretty big difference between downloading the installer and backing up the installed files, one is an intended backup solution, the other is a workaround.

Which gog games have DRM? The costumers over there even protested Hitman’s inclusion in the store precisely because without internet you can’t unlock anything in the game, GOG even removed it from sale.
