whats that

GOG is another store you can buy the game through

another store that lets you actually own the games you buy as apparently when you buy through steam you don't actual own the game and it can be taken away at any time they choose.

Any digital store if they died you'd lose access to the files. That's just how it goes. We don't use any drm so owning the game on steam still has the same ownership level as any other digital store.

that is where you are wrong unfortunately as on steam the game can be removed and made impossible to download again even if you already bought it by the makers or steam even if the steam platform still exist and works, all you are buying on steam is a license to play said game even steam now tells you that you don't own the game, but on GOG you can download an offline installer so even if the game is removed or GOG goes down you still have the game you bought just like if you bought a physical copy.

Like you said. On steam once you've downloaded the game once you can back up the install of games that don't have drm. Just like gog.
