Isn’t gog a sinking ship? And games already aren’t being updated at the same rate as Steam?
Some developers make gog users second rate citizens, some don't publish on gog at all. I wouldn't call it a sinking ship though, later years they've had more big name games such as Baldur's Gate 3 than before.
Also, if gog shuts down tomorrow I can still install all my games from the installers on my network share, something I can't say about steam.
You can still access your steam library offline no?
Yesn't.
Gaben said stuff to the effect "of steam were to shut down we would take steps to allow your library to stay offline forever" but that is nowhere in the tos and also doesn't really mean much for the fear that steam will stay and progressively enshittify.
