Do you overthink your Steam categories or are you normal?

so much to organize, damn you humble bundle

I'm migrating away from steam and starting my library over.(Moving away from accounts and drm) So in the future my library will only have games that I have actually played and will play.
Yeah I'm buying games twice but no one likes captain hindsight.
I mean, if you've already paid for the games in the past, and you're going totally DRM free anyway... I feel like you're morally all good to go sailing.
Modern games are a pain in the ass and the download speeds are horrible. I'd rather just buy them and download the game in 2 hours.
I don't mind supporting the devs I like, anyways.
Good for you. That's the way. I've only ever bought one game from steam and it cost me $0.99. Most of my games are from GOG where I can actually download the .exe file because I should be able to, because I own the fucking game. I know there are drm free games on steam, but I've always liked GOG. I have a bunch of games .exe files backed up in several places. I also have a bunch of PS4/PS3/PS2 games, physical copies.
Valve has made it so I can game entirely on linux. I remember when Steam started and I hated it, I didn't want an account. But after all these years its been nothing but ways that benefit me.
I like GOG but they can't be bothered to even create a library tool. Yes third party ones exist, but you would think they could at least try.
And in the end, if it all goes away, it was just games. Not like I couldnt get them back if I really tried, and if you really wanted to do something about it, you CAN archive your steam library.
That's pretty cool! If you don't mind me asking, how are you doing the migration? Last I've checked, most games on steam are sold on there & perhaps other consoles & platforms, but rarely as a direct download from the publisher/dev. The only ones that come to mind are Factorio & Starsecter. So how are you building that library?
Unless your using GoG, itch (which would be limiting I'd think), or piracy (which from another comment you implied you weren't doing?), I don't see how this would be practical.
Not trying to throw shade, just really curious.
Pretty much just GoG. Most of the games I want to continue playing are on there.
If not that, then looking for FOSS alternatives(Like instead of minecraft I have VoxeLibre)
Makes sense, very cool
