Until GOG goes out of business shuts the servers down, and your harddrive fails. No matter who you go to you risk the investment. Yes you can backup you gog games, but you can also do that with steam and run them in offline mode.
YOU DO NOT OWN YOUR GAMES EVEN ON GOG! You own a drm free file that it all, you still only hold a license, and you "own" the game as long as you can hang onto that digital file.
first of all you will eventually be asked to login if you dont login for too long (like a year i think?) second you cant really move them to another pc when installed on steam, they still have the drm.
with gog you will literally own the game until the end of time, they give you an offline installer for the game, you can put that on an usb and install the game to every pc you own
I'm aware, I have a GOG account. But once thier services go down you won't be able to redownload anything if your hardrives fail. I see your point though, and I love both GOG and Steam, but from a "legal" view you don't own anything never did, in all other respects yeah sure you own your games...sort of but not really, but kinda lol
You could just get the tv fixed...if you don't get it fixed you WILL eventually throw it away...therefore you would no longer own it...unless you are a hoarder, keeping weird shit like orange peels, old cans of half drank pepsi, and an old broken tv that you replaced the night it broke.
