    but you still need the proprietary Steam client to download them

    You do. But hey you end up with DRM free games you like so much. By the way why so you even want games? Aren’t most of them unethical?

    gog.com and itch.io prove that this can be done better.

    Gog offline installers are also unethical, no?

      But to get there I have to use unethical proprietary software that I hate so much.

      Who said I do?

      Of course. This is why itch.io is better than gog.

        Have to use that to get more unethical software. I see no problem.

        Games don’t come with the source code. It’s unethical software by your definition.

        This is why itch.io is better than gog.

        Do they provide ethical installers?

          Most of them don’t, but some do. Just like with programs and apps.

          Do they provide ethical installers?

          They don’t provide any, you just download the game itself. Or you can use their Free Software client, which will download and update the games for you.
