No bloody invasion into how i play my games. I can play GOGs on a deserted island [if there are laptops that run on sun or coconuts]. Why not Steam? Well, the equal price policy.
What else? Well, the people, gotta love that, You'll see.;)
What Rondel said, despite GOG being part of CDP, being in cahoots with Optimus, being responsible for that troll/propaganda site called Onet.
Oh, and GOG likes prog rock. Don't even want to know what Steam would like. Hurr durr.

Get Opera. It has a spell check. Clean, lightweight browser. Plus it has more street cred. And it's from Norway; the happiest, most secular nation on earth.

I came for Fallout, and stayed because of the fact GOG is selling the best game packages currently available, even if the games aren't recent. And I also stayed for the community, which I happen to like quite a lot.

Oh, and I echo all the sentiments here railing against godless DRM digital distribution sites. We also have to support those brave Poles against the Steam Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck.

First off, welcome to the GOG community.
I didn't choose GOG over Steam, I still use Steam for some of the games that GOG doesn't have and I don't see GOG/Steam as being mutually exclusive. That being said, if a game is offered on both systems, I take the GOG version for the lack of DRM. I also am more drawn to the games GOG offers as I had many of the classic PC games from years past. I play console games now, so if a game is offered on a console vs the PC I'll get the console version which rules out a large part of the Steam catalog.

What I like most on this site is the feeling that the GOG staffs respects their customers. Look at a few of the threats that cover topics like piracy or even torrents of GOG games. Other sites would have gone real nasty on some users, but the GOG staff kept their cool. I find their approch to piracy very good and from what I can see in their numbers, it is working.
They don't treat their customers like potential thieves, but as customers.

Second. Since I don't really know much about GOG (I'm working on it, don't ban me) I would like to hear one feature that you guys think is the best one, and maybe why did you choose GOG instead of Steam.
So yeah, I'm really looking forword to this. A site where I can instantly get a game for a good price with goodies, I'm in.
Although on the minus side you'll have to get used to their annoying business practices (they're based in Poland which may have a bit to do with it, IDK) and you'll have to deal with mediocore tech support at the moment, I'm not sure if GoG plans to get better at this department in the near future but most of the time you'll have to find solutions to your problem in the forums or ask for help from other users, since tech support can take a long time to get a response (if you get one at all).
Oh, and welcome to GoG from the USA!
