Comment on GOG’s new preservation program intends to keep classic games playable ‘forever’

That’s why I use Steam and do not buy on GOG.

Wait, why Steam? GOG only sells DRM-free games. Any Windows game that works through Steam on Linux, works downloading it from GOG with standalone WINE. Or via things like Heroic Launcher, Lutris or Bottles.

Or even playing it via Steam using Proton.

  I play all my games via steam, was the easiest way to set up proton for me. 😂 now I have my productive windows app in the steam library as well 🤷🏻

No, there are DRM games on GOG (or have been anyway).

And Steam also has DRM-free games.
