The competition for Steam is GoG as it is effectively the only platform to offer you something Steam doesn't.

gog has always been so anal about linux though, that it kind of feels like a epic games to me. you can't have a platform ran on drm free games, and then when people want to play them on linux (the "drm free" platform), they ignore and alienate them.

How has it been anal about Linux? Are we talking Galaxy? The launcher is pretty butt and it's better to just download the games directly and then they can be run with proton because of the lack of DRM.

Generally Steam does a lot more, especially for linux but GoG is the only store offering DRM free as the default.

I always forget GoG exists lol

What do they offer that steam doesn't? Old games?

There's other things but mostly the lack of DRM.
