Now I want to join Steam just so I can go into their forum and start a counter thread, "Steam is only a DRM site now?"

I've said over and over I'm not a Steam hater, I just think GOG has waaay more to offer me (and the folks in the forum are the best friends anyone could have), that being said I don't hang around Steam and pester them about why they aren't more like GOG and I'm puzzled why people come in here and do it. YES there is confusion at first, people have questions, and I'm fine with that, but once they find out there is a difference they linger here and moan about it. :P Hey man, if you prefer Steam go to it and God Bless; I'll stay here, we'll stay out of each others way, and the world will be rich with peace and harmony! :D

This is not a good thing.

I'm sure the galaxy client remedies this.
Then again, I'm awesome, and it would seem OP is not.

Now that I've used Galaxy for a bit, I think I prefer just using the downloader.
It's super convenient and much faster than Galaxy is. Plus it actually lets me back up my games- my biggest fear of Galaxy now is that I won't be able to just get the Exe's anymore.

I used to have this client downloaded. Did a system restore, lost it and forgot about it. When i came back to activate The Witcher 3 i though i was going to download the client as well so it was strange to me that there wasn't a download option on GOG apart from the downloader. End of story.

GOG has said that getting the installers will be possible as they have always been, but who knows, when 90% of the userbase use the one-click-download-and-install and only the old guard bothers to download the installers (and even then, in many cases just for backup and even they primarily use the simple way to actually install the games), maybe they'll give that up too.

I don't know if the closed alpha for Galaxy is still giving out invites but the link is here:
http://www.gog.com/galaxy/alpha
Hopefully the open beta will start soon though...

Everything else is a waste of programmers time.
"Evolution" doesn't mean improvement, especially from customer point of view.
