Immoli: Reminder: Steam is DRM.
Reminder: No, it's not. It has an optional DRM component that can be completely ignored by developers/publishers, and that's what we're talking about here. This has been made very clear, no matter how many "reminders" may be posted here. Reading can be fun!
Seriously, though, Steam and GOG Galaxy have about as much DRM as each other. It's up the developer/publisher of a Steam game to utilize Valve's DRM, and a lot of them don't do that.

zeroxxx: You also need your GOG login to even download your darned games.
Sometimes I can't understand how stupid people can be.
And then you can back up those games to play later and literally lose access to GOG forever; being too cheap to buy an external hard drive doesn't mean a game has DRM. If merely logging into a website counts as DRM, then I guess things like Amazon's MP3s all actually have DRM, too; seeing as how my Amazon songs are on about 10 different devices at the moment without ever having to log in to copy/paste them everywhere, I'd say logging in probably doesn't make a difference once I have the music. DRM-free Steam games and GOG games are no different. Hell, if logging in is DRM, then I guess that broom that you bought from Amazon has DRM, too.
