Fantastic if you're a patient gamer. It's the only place I get my games from. The only bad thing is the selection of games (lack of AA/AAA games) and a bad client compared to Steam because they're not a multi-billion dollar company like Valve is. We had to wait 12 years for Skyrim to finally come out for example.

If true, you should share your story on the GOG forums. But because the games are DRM-free, they cannot region lock your games. Only exclude people from buying certain games because of applicable countries' laws like Germany and Australia.
He's lost a ton of weight so far recently - https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/09/new-photo-gabe-newell-fans-amazed-weight-loss-20612171/
CDP management board owns like 33% of the shares and aren't as beholden to them compared to other companies with less shares. And GOG is a sister company to CDPR and > 99% of their their new releases are still DRM-free to this day.
SE has stopped caring about its customers a long time ago. They never bothered to fix their old broken PC ports either like 13, 13-2, and the old 3, 5, and 6 games. FF16 is still exclusive to PS5, 7R Integrade was exclusive to EGS until June 2022, and they really went all-in on Metaverse/NFTs.
IMO, they died when Sakaguchi left in 2003 and hasn't been the same since. It's always Ship of Thesus with these once legendary companies.
Valve is in a position where they don't have to do anything and can still earn several billions per year. $7.6B USD last year, I believe.
No chance, doing that would discourage devpubs from distributing on Steam.
Valve did it before with Darwinian: https://forums.introversion.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=40203 when they were relatively new to launchers.
This is the devs' responsibility, not different shops. I can easily play compatible crossplay games easily with my friends as long as the devs develop it from the ground up.
100%. This is a collective effort and since the market is mostly 20-40 yo demographic with disposable income, it's up to them to do the right thing.

Thank you, OP. Only took a couple mins to fill it out and verify my email. Easiest civic work I've ever had the pleasure of doing.
