    You can also use steamcmd or DepotDownloader. It’s not DRM just because no website download is available, once they are downloaded they are yours to keep.

      True, but my point is that having to use third-party tools just to access games you bought without downloading a desktop client isn’t as consumer-friendly as the way GOG offers offline installers directly for every game.

        In other words, contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism. You had to download that DRM-free installer somehow, yes? I’m betting you used a web browser to do that. I.e. a third-party tool used to access the games you bought.
