Yep – although even there, I have 5x as many games on GOG as Steam because they’re mine and I don’t have to worry about dealing with forced updates ever. That was a BIG deal for me when I had crappy internet access – a single game’s forced update could tank my entire month’s quota… I still get nervous putting Steam in online mode to this day even though I don’t have to deal with that shit any more.
Disagree with you on the BD issue, though. Much more capacity, higher quality video and audio, and drives are dirt cheap. I have a BDROM in an external enclosure, and it handles DVD and BD perfectly.
My complaint there’s about Blu-Ray’s DRM. Better quality video means nothing to me if I can’t actually get the damned thing to even play.
