Ever since steam started pulling games and locking out people's ability to play them at publishers' behest, I've been working to re-buy my entire library on GoG. Haven't regretted it since.
Steam has always been DRM from the start. People forget about the early protests, which VALVe quashed by holding Half Life 2 hostage.

Name the game that you mean. Activision pulled "Transformers Devastation" from steam some time ago. It is not in the store, it is not for sale, and in my library it doesn't even have the background image, because it was pulled before that functionality existed.
However, I bought it before it was pulled. It is still in my library, I can still download it, and can play it whenever I want.
So again, provide a link to this story or don't spread rumors.
"locking out people's ability to play them at publishers' behest" Can you please elaborate? Is it like the publishers permabanning people from games then denying a refund? Or how does it look like?
