> So when people go to buy one more game... they go to Steam, naturally. Not really, I personally go and buy it on GOG. Sure, Steam is the biggest store these days, but there is competition. And it's good when developers release in all stores. That's the proper way. Exclusivity is a bad method to fix monopoly, since it simply creates another monopoly. I.e. if you had one problem, now you have two.

Doesn’t GOG just give steam keys?

  No, GOG provides full, DRM-free downloads. It's its own marketplace. Maybe you're thinking of the Humble Bundle? Many products there are sold as Steam keys.

    Could also be thinking of Green Man Gaming.

      Yes! Sorry that was what I was thinking. Although to be fair a lot of steam games appear to simply install non-DRMd version that you can just run by finding the executable file.
