Better than Steam I'd argue. Unlike Steam, games you buy on GOG are yours to keep forever. No DRM like steam that forces you to log on after a few days offline. You also get better version control.

Edit: the offline limit was a bug. Offline restrictions would be dependent on the DRM solution for each individual game.

I liked it until CD Project Red showed they care about the shareholders more than the users with Cyberpunk. It's clear that GOG will flip to be anti-consumer as soon as the shareholders change the company leadership. Enshittification comes for all companies because business majors don't understand people.

Steam is private and Gaben is benevolent so that worry is distant. I also have no illusions that should Steam ever go public or change hands then the inevitable end of good, customer needs focused storefronts. But for now, Gave has proven he knows how to make a place consumers like myself want to use.

I haven't had any issues with them. Their older games are fixed up to work on modern systems with few issues. The only thing I wish they'd improve on is to make a Linux launcher similar to how Steam's works.

Fantastic if you're a patient gamer. It's the only place I get my games from. The only bad thing is the selection of games (lack of AA/AAA games) and a bad client compared to Steam because they're not a multi-billion dollar company like Valve is. We had to wait 12 years for Skyrim to finally come out for example.
