Just to be clear: my main point was that you don’t own any more the game bought on GOG than on Steam.
And there are definitely upsides to this type of market. Although nowadays I wouldn’t buy a triple A just released 70€ games knowing I can’t sell or give it (not that I play those much anymore). The games I actually want to keep a few and far between. I buy second hand Switch games for my nephews. It’s cheap, I’m actually giving them something, and they can trade them with their friends or sell them to buy fortnite skins the little shits
Again, not hating on GOG, I’ve been a customer for a long time. No DRM is good, but mainly I don’t want any kind of launcher. I play 99% solo games, don’t need no updates or multiple clicks to launch a game.

I would ABSOLUTELY argue that you more own a game purchased on gog, with an offline installer, than one purchased on steam. I now see the functional difference between owning a drm-free installer vs owning a physical game, but there’s also a gulf of difference between steam and gog
Just to be entirely fair. The rest of what you said is absolutely spot on.

I agree, you are “more owner” with a GOG game.
