I switched to GOG for a while when the shovelware on Steam became way too prevalent. I preferred GOG's more curated storefront and migrated most of my library over whenever there was a sale. But now the situation has flipped. Steam has gotten pretty good at burying the shovelware while GOG's front page is often filled with anime porn games.
So rather than set up Heroic I just pick up any games I'm missing from Steam on the cheap when I can. It's a shame because I used to really like GOG Galaxy.
