GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers. (x.com)

To be fair GoG selling point is that it doesn't use any external software, it tries to emulate the old disk feel.

Personally I identify much more closely with GoG philosophy, i.e. mostly no DRM, manage the games on my own, etc. However I use Linux, and Steam has been investing into it so I'll keep giving them my money (the input management is indeed great, but not enough on its own for me).
