If the content is not stored locally and DRM free, then you don't own it. Don't pay for content that you can't own. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

Is there any platform or medium where I can buy locally stored and DRM-free software? Even if I buy a game on disc I am fucked, cause most games need updates. I can only name GOG.

itch.io is fantastic. Mostly indie stuff with some bigger name stuff, but it's by far the best out there for devs.

It's hard to find quality games in the sea of single dev weekend projects on itch io...

If you see potential in one and their game is open source then consider contributing in some way (not as in money but honest feedback helps).
