    I’m migrating away from steam and starting my library over.(Moving away from accounts and drm) So in the future my library will only have games that I have actually played and will play.

    Yeah I’m buying games twice but no one likes captain hindsight.

      I mean, if you’ve already paid for the games in the past, and you’re going totally DRM free anyway… I feel like you’re morally all good to go sailing.

        Modern games are a pain in the ass and the download speeds are horrible. I’d rather just buy them and download the game in 2 hours.

        I don’t mind supporting the devs I like, anyways.

      Good for you. That’s the way. I’ve only ever bought one game from steam and it cost me $0.99. Most of my games are from GOG where I can actually download the .exe file because I should be able to, because I own the fucking game. I know there are drm free games on steam, but I’ve always liked GOG. I have a bunch of games .exe files backed up in several places. I also have a bunch of PS4/PS3/PS2 games, physical copies.

      That’s pretty cool! If you don’t mind me asking, how are you doing the migration? Last I’ve checked, most games on steam are sold on there & perhaps other consoles & platforms, but rarely as a direct download from the publisher/dev. The only ones that come to mind are Factorio & Starsecter. So how are you building that library?

      Unless your using GoG, itch (which would be limiting I’d think), or piracy (which from another comment you implied you weren’t doing?), I don’t see how this would be practical.

      Not trying to throw shade, just really curious.

        Pretty much just GoG. Most of the games I want to continue playing are on there.

        If not that, then looking for FOSS alternatives(Like instead of minecraft I have VoxeLibre)
