Gnostic: lets see, nearly 300 on GOG, 200 on steam, probably 100 between gamers gate, Impulse (Gamestop Now), humble bundle. Physical copy for about 100, Think I lost much more physical copy so lets not count these.
But yes, I agree we should not let steam monopolize the market. If people have no choice but to get steam for games it can enforce whatever anti-consumer practice it wants. Look at the Microsoft and what happens when they get a monopoly of the market.
They are even dropping support for Windows 8.1 soon even thought it is newly release.

I can't stand Windows 8 myself and am going to get some version of Linux going again like I used to...10 years ago. Seeing the announcement of GOG looking to support Linux is a step in the direction Im happy to see, as the only reason I went back to Winblows was gaming, in particular MMORPGs.
