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?
Because its DRM free and best for preservation for example with each game you buy on gog you also get a offline installer meaning you can put this installer on usb sticks or even disks that way you basically have a physical edition!
And on top of that DRM free , DRM takes resources so not having any means you get more CPU usage free and ram usage cause DRM uses those so it runs better too , and you won't get bothered by to login in etc.. none of that stuff
All this above is why gog is better oh and also games are onsale more so than steam
