Or at least by not being the shittiest, it’s kind of a pragmatic balance, yeah some shittyness but only as much as they must incur for some publishers/developers to approve being in their ecosystem. Sharing a game library within a household is more complicated than I would like for example, owing to DRM restrictions. Steam has gone out of their way to try to make it more possible, but it’s still a pain by its nature.
GOG takes a harder line that is easier for me, but misses out on a fair number of titles as a result. Which is why I prefer throwing the money at GOG to very strongly make clear my preference.
