Steam is still basically the only option AND they are actually helping Linux a lot with game compatibility. Altough, if I need games specifically on steam I’ll be buying the key from Greenmangaming (UK) or GamersGate (Sweden). If anybody has more alternatives feel free to let me know so I can add them to my list.
GOG sadly misses a majority of games atm so I just can’t replace steam with it yet.
Huge plus that they aren’t publicly traded and forced to chase profits above all. Plus their employees are far and wide the best paid in the industry, and they never do mass lay offs.
The important part is that Valve doesn’t need to sell it’s own kidneys (and enshitifies it’s service) just to appease shareholders. I like that Valve chooses to be evil, rather than being required to by law.

This is a somewhat naive view when you consider Gabe’s multiple super-yachts. And ofc all the gambling.

I don’t believe gog will ever have a full library. They require all their games to be DRM free. Until corporate gaming changes GOG won’t.
Thats a plus for me, and why when I buy its through gog. My steam library is large, but hasn’t grown in years.
