GOG is a store that only allows completely DRM-free games. Therefore, here we have Steam - a DRM with a storefront launcher (albeit devs can opt out of the DRM feature). So them being another Steam is out the window for this very reason. Well it turns out I was completely wrong in my assessment about EGS being a DRM.

Why not extend this principle on an unprecendented scale that even a competitor like GOG couldn't hope to match? Answer: having the control is clearly more important to them than satisfying the (principled) consumer.

EFS is (supposedly) already okay with people downloading SOME games and playing them DRM-free. If apart from here, the general populace accepts, but doesn't really think about, DRM, then why does the DRM need to exist? EFS could rope in all the disgruntled GOG users in addition to the same mainstream people that don't care if the DRM is in their game or not. Look at all the disgruntled people on this site (GOG), including many older users that have contributed scores of work and content to the site.
