The concept of a "digital license" isn't new, but there's no pretending you didn't know about it anymore.

    Steam is not the evil corporation people pretend it is.

    Indeed. They’re not saints either but for my personal demands, they offer the best arguments right now. I rank funding improvements to the FOSS Linux stack higher than a DRM-free pile of shame. That may change in the future but for now I prefer Steam over GOG. CD Project is a rich company. They could make a Linux version of Galaxy, put it onto Flathub, make it behave well under Steam Deck Game Mode, and put a tiny fraction of their revenue into Linux improvements.

        And yet somehow I still doubt we’ll see it until Linux gets a much higher marketshare.

        CD Project is doing nothing to improve that market share, hence why I don’t care to spend any money on GOG.
