Welcome to GOG! You have my sympathies; I too stopped using Steam because of their poor customer service (basically breaking a game I used to play). Even back then Steam was a barely tolerated thing for me. A friend of mine used GOG so I thought I would check it out. Suffice to say, I haven't been back since really, and have spent several times what I did on Steam at GOG. To this day I don't understand how Steam has managed to create so many loyal customers. I guess ignorance is bliss.
GOG isn't perfect, and sometimes gets things a bit wrong. However, it does offer a much better level of everything than Steam (other than selection, but that's the nature of DRM and region free atm unfortunately), and of course you get to buy your games to use as you see fit rather than enter a glorified rental agreement like you do with Steam. I hope you find this place to be to your liking.

Not that Valve is among the worst, they USED to be quite progressive, but lately they feel like just another corporation to me, and I am very sensitive to these things.
GOG's business strategy seems a lot more ... POLISHed, hahaha. (I love puns.)
