What are some good alternatives to steam? Because as it stands currently i've had technical difficulties with gog (should probably try and see if they are still present) and don't know about any other non-american site which would fill that role

You don't really need a third party software launcher to play games to begin with

No, you need a third party torrenting site and a third party to crack the game and a third party torrent client.. that's somehow much better... No matter how you slice it, you still need at least one middle man between you and games.

No you don't, videogames are software

If you wish to have a game without a middle man you must first invent the universe.
