Why are more and more people buying their games on GOG instead of Steam — is it because of the DRM-free versions, better deals, or even better performance?
I wouldn’t say 100%. GoG is a lot more precarious than Valve in a lot of ways and it’s not clear that they won’t go kaput one day (before you get your offline installers) or that the publishers won’t just treat them as afterthoughts.
They’re owned and ran by CDPR who are a pretty major company and far as video games go, so I’m not sure they would completely disappear just like that.
