I made a well arranged post for my request, nothing fancy
Pressing Enter to end lines and insert appropriate empty lines.

When satisfied it was well laid out and readable I pressed Continue.

All my arrangement was removed and the post is now one huge line.

Now I've rebuilt it in Notepad++.
How can I get it to format on the wishlist.

I'll print my post here so you can see how it was intended to look

If it can't be formatted, on the wishlist, here will have to do

Title
All my Steam Exclusives on GOG

Post
First not the same as I payed Steam, want GOG version for free. Also no real category match to this, not feature or game

I made a public announcement recently that XCOM 2 was the last game I will ever buy on Steam due to they're awful meddling in modding games.

GOG understands modding, it leaves well alone. No GOG Workshop thankfully. Good Modding requires the user, on GOG (and Steam), to be in complete control of the files.
GOG does this, provide stable base games, DRM free with installer. THe Galaxy Client is optional, I a SPG player, I detest all online clients, including Galaxy, but even modding on Galaxy is OK.
The client and importantly updates, are under the users full control. Not on Steam where all updates are forced, at most users can delay update for 23 hours.

Steam introduced the Workshop to monetize all modding. To do that Steam must control all the files, they'll eventually Stream the game and give you no files at all. To monetise mods, Publishers must fully control all the games and mods files. Just like modders must to keep control, to avoid that.
Valve didn't understand this with Skyrim, they've learnt that now, by failing. So unlike the "Give me free games, I bought on Steam", rubbish. This is the only way this can happen.

GOG needs to persuade AAA publishers that we will buy the games they release on GOG. This is to aid that effort with solid evidence that Steam owners will switch and pay to switch, if it's as important to you as me you'll make the same pledge.
A vote for this should be considered another matching pledge, if that's too much for you, post what you would do/want and don't vote.

The Promise I make to GOG is this

I've already pledged to never buy another game from Steam. These join it.
I pledge to buy every single game I already own on Steam, the day it's released on GOG, whatever the price.
I pledge to permenantly delete each Steam version on the same day, GOG releases their version.
I pledge to permenantly delete Steam, when all my 112 Games are on GOG.

UhuruNUru: I made a public announcement recently that XCOM 2 was the last game I will ever buy on Steam due to they're awful meddling in modding games.
And when they inevitably announce an expansion? Or the third XCOM? Or another I-Must-Buy-This game that GOG won't be getting in the near future if ever?

I'm not too botheyed if the non client option isn''t GOG, Direct from the publisher would be good enough.
Exoansions to XCOM 2 I will get, but not XCOM3 or TES 6 or Tomb Raider, which I will buy if it's released without a online client requirement and it doesn't matter if a clients required for the multi-player even if it's Steam.

I only require a no client for single player option, not bothered about site even Steam's OK. if I know a games DRM free and can be run without running Steam, but most of those games are on GOG as well and I prefer GOG for the offline installer.

As to how I'll cope I don't know, but the first hurdle was the New Tomb Raider Game, good port reports and reviews, I set Steam to my current library, I have no idea if Tomb Raider is out and no desire to look at the store.
Ignoring Console exclusives has worked fine for me, but I'd have to buy a Console for those as well.
I don't avoid reading about console exclusives, they are simply of no interest to me, because I won''t play them..
I intend to ignore the Steam Store, which I find to be 99% rubbish, anyway

Steam is still on my system and I play the games I own still and mod them.
No one will know if I fail, my library will remain private in either case, it does not really matter if I falter once or twice.
It will take an exceptional game though, more and more titles are getting on GOG. Other sources for the Installer are acceptable.

It's having any offline option that's important, GOG is just my 1st choice and with the new Games in Developement, GOG again shows how to do online gaming right, giving choice to the user, "Early Access done right", according to JIm Sterling, I think "early Access, done right", is called crowdfunding and 100% Direct Crowdfunding only, no Kickstarter, leaching funds before the Project starts and all funds.

Succeed or succumb occaisionally, my Steam Library will continue to shrink and GOG's grow, unless GOG changes into another Forced online client.
If enough gamers (only about 10 to 20% will change profit to loss and force publishers to change, as we saw with Arham Knight and Paid Skyrim Mods.
Don't make such a decision as mine, expecting others to as well, if you decide to stop buying Steam Games, do so for your own reasons, not mine.

GOG is providing optional services to it's users, Steam just provides a service to it's publishers, and forces that on the users, like it or not
