I hope they succeed, though I think people are probably a bit like me: I like Steam features (achievements, community art, guides, etc) more than I dislike DRM (except very invasive DRM). Granted I grew up knowing how to crack most of my games, so I’m not as threatened by the standard DRM.
GOG isn’t as robust in features, although they could probably win me over if they could integrate features with less restrictions (e.g. trying to get a non steam guide in the steam overlay is difficult) or get an archivists approach to gaming with a Launchbox like system that fills in media for all games, has custom themes and integrates legally gray services like RetroAchevements. If GOG was Launchbox with a store, I’d be so fucking down… But they’d probably get sued. Lol
