    It seems that you conflate steam with valve. I truly appreciate all the hard work they put into Linux, proton and steam.

    Gog just doesn’t demand to use a client from them, as it would be the Anti-Thesis to their mission, instead they offer an open API for all the clients out there. Heck you don’t even need a client to get the work gog/cd Projekt put into preserving all those games and make them runnable.
