I don't believe gog will ever have a full library. They require all their games to be DRM free. Until corporate gaming changes GOG won't.

ive seen that gog is incredibly picky with what games are allowed on its platform too, which doesn’t help

iirc they refused Balatro, and initially even refused Undertale for being too low quality, before changing their minds when they saw the absolute phenomenon that game had become

(I got this from hearsay tho so don’t take it as a fact)

There ought to more indie outlets like itch.io, preferably non-American, and maybe if GOG had a similar site for just free or low cost indie games, that'd help bring upcoming indie artists in the door which eventually could make trustworthy titles worthy of their more premium store. Shame they have such odd vetting process, yet they don't have a problem with over low quality stuff like the Postal series^[https://www.gog.com/en/games?query=postal&order=desc%3Ascore&discounted=true].

Not all their games are DRM free though, they 'sold out' a long time ago.

Thats a plus for me, and why when I buy its through gog. My steam library is large, but hasn't grown in years.
