That's why it's better to buy from gog

Why? You also buy licenses from GOG, despite their and their shills' best efforts to make you believe otherwise.

It's completely DRM free. You download the game and that's it, you can run it from your computer forever

The only difference with Steam is that you have to crack the game files, and Steam DRM is notably easy to bypass. Either way, once you have the files you have it.
