GOG basically acknowledges piracy in a meme - SLRPNK

DRM-free doesn’t mean piracy. GOGs whole business model is built around selling games DRM free. I don’t pirate but I do use GOG where possible as I hate DRM - it punishes and inconveniences legitimate users for piracy and doesn’t even solve the problem. DRM is just an expensive waste of money for everyone involved.
The drm-free marketing that gog does has been successful, but it is just marketing. While It’s true that games sold on gog are drm-free, every game sold on gog that I’ve looked into is also drm-free on steam. The only real benefit is that the gog installers are more convenient for backups than using a steam back up tool.
How would you play a DRM-free game bought through steam without steam? (Genuine question)

Steam isn’t DRM. They offer a (very weak and basic) DRM for free for developers to use but they don’t have too.

For a lot of games you can just install them using steam and then uninstall steam and the games will continue to work.
