Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

I love Steam, but thinking about switching to gog over this. Anybody have any ideas how we can let valve know this isn't okay?

I mean I always use GoG, if given the option. But there's almost always no GoG option. Publishers want some form of DRM.

I did this years ago and have like 500 games on GOG. Ended up going back to Steam due to features that gog just doesn’t have. Sigh.

I have a feeling I would feel the same. Its nice having everything in one place. What was missing for you?

All the social features, the workshop, easy browsing, and guides just off the top of my head. GOG is still good for those really retro 90s and early 2000s games though
