Valve is a private company whereas GOG belongs to CDProject - a publicly traded company. GOG might want to fill the void but they're more likely to do dumb, shortsighted decisions in contrast to Valve.

Maybe, but DRM free content isn't exactly shareholder value...

It's better shepherded than Epic. They probably don't fill the space because Steam do it better, but you invest more if the return is higher.

The case I'm referring to is in the future if Steam badly enshittified.
