Buying a game on Steam gets you the same perpetual license for your copy of the game as it does on GoG (the same as any software). The difference is Steam's DRM (requiring the Steam Client to run the game). AFAIK Steam have said in the past that they have a plan to remove it if Steam shuts down.

Actually, I think the most common phrase conveying this is "it's like talking to a brick wall". The hardest thing here is including both inability and active choice.
