Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

So far steam has been around way longer than the average lifespan of dvds and you can still share your game license with a friend

That's true. In fact is the only storefront I am trusting. I do all my gaming on Nintendo DS/3DS (cartriges) or Steam Deck

Especially since they have no interest in selling locked hardware. You can still buy Rag Doll Kung Fu, a game that's been on Steam longer than some Steam users have been alive.

My first choice is always GOG because the best method is keeping a copy for myself. My second choice is Steam.
