you need to be online to use those Steam-Features) and/or can be proprietary stuff, which makes the Steam-version the one to get in most instances. Right, Steam has tons of features - but, many are tied to Steamworks and/or where that acts as Soft-DRM as sorts (i.e. Galaxy and client-app's can be useful for installing game that are still active - games still getting updates, games still getting DLC's/expansions, and stuff of that sort. So, you can just install using installers when offline and not ever deal w/ stuff - think stuff like Deus Ex: Human Rev Director's Cut. They (dev's and pub's) are flat-out DONE w/ doing anything. Though, to me - usually using offline installers is also a good idea when a game's no longer updated anymore and no longer getting DLC's/expansions officially. I'd still rather use Heroic, TBH - just runs and works better, as a client-app. Pretty useful for stuff I don't want to use updates on (which I always disable in Galaxy) and just stay away from Galaxy. One benefit to me about GOG's installers are - I can download these store them and install games if I'm offline. I really wish all of these clients worked offline to be able install games if you just had the files you need - whether it can do it via just having the game-folder and does it properly & whatnot and/or having the BIN files and EXE like say when you download game-installers via the web browser. Thankfully I can still backup the offline installer in case GOG ever shuts down, which is the whole appeal of the store. Why? It's easier and more convenient to use, simple as that. Lately though I'm just defaulting to using Galaxy for everything. Everything else I used the offline installer. I used to only use Galaxy for new games that updated often. So yeah at the end of the day it's not only the first client where a lot of people built their libraries, but it's still the best client. I think he was more into multiplayer than me, which a lot of people are. StingingVelvet: I recently debated someone in the Eurogamer comments section about Steam's dominance and they listed a whole ton of stuff Steam offers that Galaxy and Epic do not which I had never even heard of.
