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

I read the question and answered appropriately.  I searched GoG for the games I have bought recently, they are not on GoG.  

Games selection doesn't matter??!!?  WTF?  That is absurd.  Of course, game selection matters.  

If GoG gets day 1 releases of games like Steam, yeah GoG would be amazing.  

Your issue is quite clear.  You love discussing theory, not reality.

On paper GoG is superb, in reality the selection is a problem.  

I can only discuss it if you answer what has been asked and vice versa.

You bolded the question, read it and tell me how you answered it, please.

You claimed it a waste, which is 100% not.

I asked a very specific question you are still avoiding, you are going into another matter altogether.

If GoG has 200 games at the same price as Steam and someone decides to buy any of them, how is it a waste?

I'm not comparing GoG and Steam library, for the third time, you do not need to choose only one of them.

I'm directly confronting your claim of it being a waste and asking how would one waste anything by buying games there, in the case the prices are the same for said games.

Prove me it's a waste.

Buying games on GoG isn't a waste, but GoG doesn't have the same games.  Your foundation is wrong.  I am not going to argue this anymore.  Your entire statement is based on "if" GoG has the same games.. it doesn't.  

Buying games on GoG isn't a waste.  GoG is a waste because their selection simply isn't good enough, full stop.  

*If GoG had the same selection, I would buy only GoG and add said games to my Steam library*

But I don't see the point nor utility in debating ifs or buts.
