Comment on Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

Why would you think another company doing it better makes Valve not responsible? I don’t understand the logic.
…no? It’s not. You don’t have to play it online.

It doesn’t matter if you prefer offline or not or that you CAN play solo, it is online coop. I never played it coop either, but that’s what it is and hence everyone has to have the same version. Simple as that.
Point with gog was that they do it better. Vastly so. Yet only a tiny fraction of devs choose them. Hence it begs the question whether it’s the platform’s fault per se.

Of course it does?
There is no question. GOG is proof that you can do it. Therefore if others don’t do it, it’s their fault.
Once again, all of this is beside the point. The point is that those games are effectively gone.

It only matters in the sense that you’re allowed to not purchase online games.
Otherwise we’re circling here.
