I really appreciate that I can buy first-party hardware from Valve and then install and run GoG games on it without any BS barriers or workarounds.

I got some GoG games on sale yesterday. Installed Heroic Games Launcher. Logged in. Installed the games. Clicked "add to Steam library" and boom, there they are in the Steam launcher alongside my other Steam games.

This is just such a breath of fresh air in a modern world consumed by proprietary bullshit. Valve is the anti-Nintendo.
