Facsimile of owning your own games. The aesthetics of ownership while maintaining Steam's full control of your games

I do agree, but the Steam DRM is trivially easy to bypass. You could also just put the pirated version on it instead. The bigger issue is that consumer SSDs degrade pretty quickly if they aren't powered, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Idk, maybe unpopular opinion but I feel like Steam is a reasonable middle ground. The DRM means games actually come to the platform, its convenient, and if they ever take away a game I want to play that badly I'll just pirate it.
Gog is cool and all and I respect the idea behind it, but there are hardly any games on there and never will be. It sucks, but it's the reality.
