That sounds plausible but I’m trying to focus on the positive here

Let’s try and look at silver linings

What would be great is if price hikes cause people to purchase games that are worth it causing developers to release complete and feature rich games without further abysmal monetization strategies.

On sale currently on GoG and without DRM

DRM or not this is straight from Steam, you don’t own what you “purchase”. This isn’t consumer friendly:

Steam Subscriber Agreement

1. REGISTRATION AS A SUBSCRIBER; APPLICATION OF TERMS TO YOU; YOUR ACCOUNT, ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENTS

B. Hardware, Subscriptions; Content and Services

Valve or third-party video games and in-game content, software associated with Hardware and any virtual items you trade, sell or purchase in a Steam Subscription Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as “Content and Services;”

2. Licenses

A. General Content and Services License

“The Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services.”

I would like to learn more about DRM on GoG if you wouldn’t mind sharing.

Please publish to GoG as well. I want to support sites that are DRM free. Also I think it’s smart to give native Linux support to show the industry that Linux is important rather than rely on compatibility tools that may or may not work well for any given game or setup.
