Steam will do a rug pull one day. You purchase a license to their games, you do not own them.
Helps that steam’s DRM is piss-easy to crack, and good indie devs give you DRM-free redeemable copies if you show a proof of purchase (Klei my beloved)
That mindset allows them to keep doing it
How do you go about getting drm free copies, email them? I love this dev already.
When you buy one of their games on steam (In my case, Don’t Starve), they come with a “CD Key” included which you can plug into their website to download your DRM-free copy. Alternatively if you buy it from GOG you just have a DRM-free copy out the gate.
