If you have a USB C to C cable handy, that’s also going to work to charge other devices, loses less power to the transfer, is quicker, and also more convenient since you can keep using both phones. Of course you’ll often not have a cable, but if you do it’s probably gonna be the better option

Congrats, you completely missed the point. Maybe read the actual article, before going on a rant that’s only tangentially related?

Right, that’s definitely an important thing, that at least with gog, you can defend yourself against that possibility.

My “best we got” was in regards to the potential to become a lot worse because of shareholder pressure. Given that CD Project is a publicly traded company, GOG is much worse in that regard than Steam.

I fully agree that GOG, as it currently is, could be the better product for you depending on your values, but its defenses against enshittification are objectively much worse than Steam’s*, and that’s all I was talking about.

*That is, until Gabe dies, I guess, who knows what’ll happen then

Nobody is talking about “no potential”. Just “a lot less potential than any other option out there”, and that’s currently the best we got

Oh, that’s cool, thanks for the heads up!

I don’t know about this case specifically, but I own Alan Wake on steam which has since been delisted because of music licenses running out. At least for that one, I still own the game on steam and can download, install and play it normally whenever I want, it’s just that people cannot buy it anymore through steam. If you’re lucky, it’s gonna be the same with the adult swim games.
