I like GOG. It is a bit painful for a game I will sink 1000+ hours into (I hope, anyway) with randomizers and Archipelago runs, switching between modded/unmodded versions on the steam deck, for instance.

For Hollow Knight and Silksong, I can just save and launch the suite of non DRM files outside of Steam (and I do anyway), so I don't see what GOG had over Steam for Silksong (other than the store not dying).

That said, any game with DRM I buy from GOG instead
