yogsloth: This is how I see it.
GOG is so strictly curated, that all these indie devs won't be able to get in.
Perhaps if itch.io modernizes itself, it could pick some of them up... but unfortunately, most will just become even more enslaved to Steam than they already are.
That's been my experience. GOG's rejected both my recent games, and with Steam is a much bigger distributer anyway. So why bother with GOG? GOG is so strictly curated, that all these indie devs won't be able to get in.

They must have a good reason for being so picky, but from where I am it just seems like it's hurting them, and anyone that wants to buy exclusively DRM-free.
