I get stuff on Gog sometimes. They do some things right (no need for a client, no DRM stance, good compatibility support, chasing down lost rights for old games).

But unfortunately they can never get more than scraps from the big publishers because those will never agree to release their newer games without DRM.

And let's be clear, I wouldn't want them to go back on this, but that will make it hard for them to compete.

Interestingly, at the beginning everything on Humble was offering DRM-free options too. And then after a while they gave us some bullshit about their policy not being "DRM-free" but "DRM-agnostic", which means, publisher can choose whether to use no DRM, or DRMs. Such a strong policy, thank you Humble.
