Steam has its own set of issues where they control what you get to play, and when.

I feel like I've "bought" a ton of games through Steam, and now that my kids are a bit older, they want to play some of them. Unfortunately they can't play different games at the same time - even with Steam's family sharing. When one person plays a game, it locks the whole game library.

GOG all the way.

You can get around this by running steam in offline mode.

Life changed. My kids will thank you :)
This could be revoked at any point, so GOG is probably the way to go unless you actually really want certain features of steam.
