    Never even considered it a good deal as I like to own games. Also, I love my steam library

      I get where you’re coming from, but I need to make you aware that you don’t own any of the stuff on Steam either.

        I prefer to buy from GOG, itch, or anywhere else that offers explicitly DRM-free downloads. That being said, a surprising number of games on Steam are actually DRM-free (or as near as makes no difference). They don’t make it easy; you need to dig through your Steam folders to copy the files out, and sometimes you need to jump through a well-documented hoop or two, but it’s doable.
