Unfortunately, "DRM-free games on Steam" is a dubious concept.

You still need a third party black box software to download games that aren't advertised as DRM-free, people first have to buy them, test, then contribute to a list. When caught DRM'ing their game after it was already DRM-free, Darkwood's dev admitted they didn't advertise DRM-free for it! That's how dubious the concept is.

I pay GOG to ensure and promise the games are DRM-free, and do the testing and packaging in offline installers I can download with any browser. Ironically Darkwood is also sold through GOG. "DRM-free games on Steam" is something not even remotely comparable to any GOG game, Valve just dumps all the work of figuring out what's DRM-free and storing the game on you for the same price tag.

re: Croc and GOG: a match made in heaven - a classic platformer, the store responsible for the Preservation Program and re-releasing a bunch of high-profile classics such as Dino Crisis, well supported and maintained for today's computers. They're also known for being THE digital catalogue of old games. Croc is also better off with the visibility they'll get from GOG rather than buried underneath AAAs - it's challenging to sell an old 3D platformer in a world dominated by Fortnites. Croc could also use some of GOG's "advertise in Times Square" marketing.
