I’ve got half a mind to buy on GOG instead, just to get some more assurances around access in the distant future when Gabe passes. Steam just provides such a better service with controller support and the reviews though.
GOG does have cloud saves and actually provides a more convenient way to manage them, unlike Steam, which kept restoring my ancient RimWorld saves for hours until I could finally convince it to get rid of them.
However, the storage space is smaller than Steam. Also, there’s no equivalent of Steam’s Workshop on GOG.
DRM-free is the biggest positive of GOG. Steam Family Sharing recently has been just so pro-consumer as well though. I gave my mate my old steam deck after getting the OLED deck, and he’s now got a library of 200+ games right out the gate.

Can’t argue with that, it would be nice for GOG to have:
Those are really steam’s best features, and if GOG had those I’d likely stop buying steam games
