You know what? You guys keep making the same argument, I guess I'll just have to keep giving the same answer.

How many is many? PC Gaming Wiki lists 1000 DRM free games in Steam's library. That is 2.6% of the service, by their count.

And all you get from those is the ability to rip loose game files, which is not the same as having an installer or a portable installation. GOG will let you download a backup installer of every game on the service. Not the same thing.
