Well yeah, because gog is selling games ethically... That's great, I think it's good that they exist, and if I want a specific game I'll often go to them first

But that's kind of the limit... They don't have much power, they advocate against drm and all, but I don't see them fighting in the courts or the media the way the EFF always leads the charge.

That's fine - they're a store, and like a local shop, I'd rather give them my business than a chain

Steam gets so much praise because they're Walmart, but instead of destroying the local economy, they go out of their way to add value to it and lower the barriers of entry for everyone. They're a monopoly that goes out of their way to improve the industry they dominate, including by improving competition
