Yes we do hehe. I have over 250 games on GOG, and i'll continue to buy any good game aviable there (or elswhere), as long as it is DRM free. I kickstarted D:OS, the new Planescape, Wasteland 2, Project Eternity, Shadowrun Returns and many other games which don't require DRM/Steam. So money is not the issue. But if there is no DRM-free version aviable for sale, i will get the DRM free version anyway. When boxed copies were still a thing, i removed the original disc and replaced it with a self-made liberated one.

So long story short, i hate DRM, a lot^^
