    One of these two entities actually lets me own my games. To where I can install them from local files even without an internet connection. One of these entities leases me games that I can install with an internet connection as long as they see fit. They are not the same.

      Learning that steam may delist a game if its offered by another store for cheaper has definitely soured my opinion of them. GOG should make a native installer though.

        That only applies if you’re selling Steam keys in the other store. If you sell access via other means (like direct download), you can price them however you want. Hence, thousands of itch.io games that are cheaper than their Steam versions.

          No, not true. They specifically mention its not just steam keys in their released emails.

            If you have a link to the actual emails, rather than a YouTube video for it, I’d be very interested in that.

              If you have anything but conjecture I’d be interested in that as well.
