Many people are unhappy about the way Steam is going, i feel mixed myself about the direction it is going. Being able to transfer games is convenient and i believe that on a middle to long term view it will bring customers here.

Among things i don't like is the way they restict things like gifting, the lacking support, the trash can of games greenlight brought... Sure Steam is still great and has advantages, one of them being that humble bundle games are steam games most of times. But if things get worse or customer unfriendly, it is good to have a ship to jump to.

How exactly is this an advantage? I would be much happier, if all games on Humble Bundle (and other bundle sites) would be DRM-free installers that I could download and backup instead of just giving me a Steam key.

That's not an advantage of Steam but a drawback of Humble...

Just transfered a few games from Steam to my GoG account and wanted to say : thank you. :)

True , I was meaning it has an advantage for the company, not necessarily to us. I think if Humble bundle had gog bundles exclusively(it will not happen, but i say it as an example)it would give Gog an advantage. Discounts on Steam have become overall less attractive than they used to be, and season or event sales like Xmas Sales no longer have flash deals. Humble bundles are one of the last things remaining that gives a lot of games for a cheap price, and you sometimes get interesting monthly bundles too. Steam having a quasi-monopoly on bundles(not counting the defunct desura and the few origin deals) is an advantage for the company.

What advantage does steam really offer at this point? A lot of games still stay on console, games that are only on steam that are ports arent always the best quality, weekly humblebundles have been dissapointing bar that capcom one a few months ago, valve games have really gone downhill and are being milked for money now and esports competitions.

For me all GOG needs is more japanese game releases and a big picture mode and I'd drop steam pretty fast and only keep it for l4d2 and other multiplayer games.
