Sweeney is overly opinionated and will dictate to you how you will use your products. Valve largely short of the app’s drm just gives me the games and the app just sits in the background, this is why GOG is the true contender to Steam as they have a similar approach.
We don’t want to be told how to play our games, give us services to help do so by all means, but otherwise it’s a take money and leave situation.
GOG is actually losing ground, in my opinion. I still use it, as that’s where I bought the Witcher games (and some old classic collections), but the launcher is SO persistently annoying. If Steam is running and minimized to the tray, I never see it unless I want to. GOG Galaxy pops to the front and demands input WAY too often.

Fuck even steams drm is optional, even when it’s on by default is frequently opt out.
There’s like less then a few hundred games on steam that require its drm AND don’t let you just delete or turn it off.
You don’t get much better then that. Companies that really want can have it and customers win in literally every other case.
