I will never, ever, place a large library of digital media into someone else's complete control. If Steam decides you did 'something wrong' and they block your account, all of your games are gone.
GOG.com could block my account, but then I'd still have my own copies. I could still buy games with them through friends, for example (set aside that I might not want to, but still).
If I pay for it, I control it. If I can't, I won't buy it, or it has to be something cheap which I don't mind losing.
