the only thing i hate about the rise of steam gaming is the loss of owning physical media since you can't by physical copies of steam deck games.

I'd argue that the problem with non-physical releases is mainly conservation, and software pirates seem to have that covered for PC releases.

Now if you wanna buy a game, DRM free is of course preferable. I buy as much as I can from gog, because I don't want to blindly trust any corporation, regardless of their past record. After all, valve is set up in a way that gives them all the leverage.

Buying from GOG is also useful as you can keep the offline installers somewhere if you have the storage for it.
