Not talking about what's better, just what will happen.

What's better is if we all refused to accept DRM and then would have no choice but to sell without it.

I bought this game recently that had always-online DRM so I couldn't play it at work so I returned it and then pirated it with the DRM removed LOL. It was not for sale on GOG.

    I agree that a boycott of games with DRM would be the best option but it is impossible to convince a majority to refuse DRM. People wants to play the latest and coolest games more than they care about the DRM.

    I don't think Gog will grow faster or more even if they accept DRM, simply because most gamers already have a majority of their games at Steam and want to keep all games in one store. So they will not move to Gog anyway. And then Gog will remain as a small company and we will lose the DRM-free store.
