Very good question. I don't know yet.
I already am more of a patient gamer, so changing to the old hat is an option for me too. Currently I am looking at the OSS games like Beyond all Reason or 0AD. Probably also gonna look into buying more from GOG.
My main concern with the old hat is the multiplayer, so I mostly invest in games on steam and GOG that have local multiplayer, or a dedicated server.
Okay, the way it is now is acceptable. I just wanted to add that this way can change at the drop of a hat. And yeah, Steam is indeed the best the industry has to offer.
The amount of people thinking they are getting ripped off by steam now is astounding.
They are the reason this step is incredibly necessary.
It's still something granted to you at all times, you don't own it. If a fart gets stuck in their asses they can change the grant. It's why actually owning is something desirable.

Dann bist du wohl nicht im Hauptstrom, wenn das nicht deine Meinung ist.
Well, we're doing both so it's okay.

It IS really hard to understand what someone is going through if you've never been in that position yourself, and even then it's hard.
On the other hand: You never know when to attribute a behavior from someone to malice. And it's also very easy to stop working on oneself when not pressured in doing so, especially for addicts.
So yeah, a bit of banter is necessary.
Yeah, game devs apparently did some shit, but that's not the point. Look up some let's play of it and see how you like the interaction.
