I know you’re right, it’s a Sisyphean task to push back against the tides of corporate greed, but I still will push and save my old school games for archival purposes for my grandchildren, and I will hope that they appreciate my death by the big corporate boulder, was for their gaming freedom.

I wouldn't say that. Steam has done a pretty remarkable job. I think having an offline storage for games and an emulator that can play them is the only way to fight back against them.

As time goes on likely we will start to build or port Game's. Consoles will be obsolete and it will make emulation much easier. Only time will tell though.

Fight that hard fight

I think you misspelled GOG. Steam itself is a DRM (even though some games don’t have the DRM in place), you’re still at the mercy of a company to allow you download your rented games and at the mercy of a developer to not include it.

Sorry, but you can’t be a supporter of game preservation and Steam at the same time. They’re on opposite spectrums

I don't think you can tell me what I can and can't do. But I get your meaning. I have used gog but it rarely has games that can be run through GeForce.

I think steam is better than consoles. But yes drm bad. Why I advocated for emulation as a way to maintain games
