This is proof that DRM-free sites are clearly not promoting or responsible for piracy. I've also bought plenty of games on Steam and GOG, or re-releases I already own on 360 or PS3.

Thieves will always steal and clearly GOG is doing very well selling games. I still use Steam as well as GOG and even Epic, but it's pretty annoying to see devs still making this argument.

That's true, and I can understand the disdain for platform exclusives or DRM locked games, but never understood the people saying "Steam or no-buy!".

Actually I saw a similar comment on KS recently where a backer removed his support because of an issue with DLC on non-Steam platforms. I want to see access equal on all platforms, but sometimes it's much easier for devs in one instance than another. It's easy for consumers to bitch about how they want things this way and not that, but it might not be so easy on the other side.

I also agree with the monopoly thing, competitive markets are what makes a good balance for both sides, but people get comfortable with one way of doing things and automatically refuse any new option, i.e. "Steam/GOG or no-buy".
