What does it even mean to “own” a video game?

GoG has a good awful selection and most of the games are old as crap, like the original Resident Evil trilogy.. which I can download roms from about 90 different websites. They dont have the new RE games.

GoG, is a waste IMO. A store is only as good as it's selection.

Define in a logical way how GoG is a waste, please.

If a game is available on both Steam and GoG, for the same price, what would I be wasting by purchasing it on GoG and not on Steam?

I'll have access to the very same game that I wanted to have on the very same hardware that I own.

You don't need to choose only one storefront to play your games on PC. You can have both, and more.
