    I was questioning that myself.
    So far digital goods haven’t been the subject of tariffs on either side.
    It would also be hard to tariff successfully as it wouldn’t be difficult for Steam to setup something in another country’s Data center as "Steam International " to bypass any Tariffs.
    Although this trade wars has prompted me to start buying games on GoG when that is an option.

      I’ve been choosing gog over steam since idk when, but some games gog didn’t have. And steam is actually fairly painless to use now compared to all the fights I had getting it to run for me 5+ years ago, so I do sometimes choose steam over gog if it’s a game I’m intending to play with family online, since it’s easy to invite them to a game through the chat.

        I hear you there, Steams multiplayer infrastructure is top notch, I’ve seen a few games get significantly clunkier when they added cross play and moved away from Steam’s services.
        Steams also the leader in getting games to run on Linux, although between the heroic launcher or running the offline installers through Lutris, GoG isn’t that bad anymore.
