Yeah I'm buying any game I can on GOG these days. Between being DRM-free and being pre-patched (sometimes with community patches) it's definitely the best platform, particularly if you like to buy older games/retro games occasionally.
I'm the exception to gaming, I have maybe 20-ish games on Steam, but '000's on GOG. I've always had a thing for the underdog, maybe that's what made me focus on them from the start. I just love their platform, and their ethos. They'll never be a competitor to Steam or Epic Games, but I don't think they're trying to be any more.
I just love them!
