Is this the end of DRM for good?
Do your part, grab your free freedom copies, FUCK
It's a good idea, but GOG will never compete until it's taken more seriously by developers and publishers.
Even if GOG is willing to trust us to not pirate, Denuvo proves that a lot of companies are not.
>>339805938
>They need more users
Comooooon do it!
>>339806176
You get my point though. Steam works because it's a good store, and has a huge community.
GOG can win a few points on the DRM front, but they're going to have to look to capture other territories too if they want to move in on the Steam Dictatorship.
>>339805795
you can't escape the gaben /v/
Steam sales are a meme now and I hate it.
The first couple of years they happened were amazing with big games being dropped to 90%.
Now we have games like GTA 5 raising their price before the sale to drop it 10% during the sale.
It's not even worth being excited for.
Worst part is people still act like the sales are good for some reason.
>>339805795
>users have to jump through hoops to have an inferior service
>they actually think non-autists will do this
nice try, pollack shill also Valve/Gaben don't lose any money with this process a few people might take on the meme buy gaben was already paid his pound of flesh
>>339807165
Publishers control their sales prices not Valve. Really funny that you're mad at Valve considering they've literally priced their games at >$40 even for their AAA releases.
>>339807385
<$40*
>>339807385
And yet most of the time you can get games cheaper on Amazon now.
Galaxy looks nice
You don't even need to use it
They include extras and artwork and shit on each game
Steam community is a rusky den
Tge only thing Gog is missing is card jewing
>>339807925
for me they have insufficient payment methods
no maestro, no mobile, no qiwi
Is anyone else having trouble logging into their Steam account to connect it? Mine won't let me, even when I just try to regularly sign in on the Steam website, not the GoG page on Steam.
Also I only created a GoG account a while ago to get the Witcher on sale, but haven't touched it in months. I just logged back in and now there's a handful of games in my library I never bough. Does GoG just give you free games automatically once in a while? Or am I forgetting I redeemed those free games or something?
>>339807165
This. You can actually find similar deals on the Xbox Live or PSN summer sales. The main advantage Steam has during their sales is a much bigger library.
>>339808351
>Does GoG just give you free games automatically once in a while?
yes, I think everybody has 3 or 4 games by default
>>339808640
That's nice. Hopefully GoG stays that way as they grow bigger.
>>339807925
Only big problem I have with Galaxy is that you can't pause downloads
>>339807515
>Buy a brand new physical copy on Amazon for cheaper than the digital price
>Redeem the CD key on Steam anyway
>>339808351
Mine struggled to connect
I tried 2-3h later and it worked
>>339805795
>Saint Row 2
Do you hate yourself or something?
>>339808695
Yeah
you just have to login when the promo is up
>>339809740
Saints Row 2 runs okayish with the Gentlemen of the Row mod.
Which the GOG release includes per default.
As somebody who has over 800 games on steam, i think this is a really good backup plan in case steam dies/shuts down. I just wish more publishers would enter the program.
Gj gog for making me create an account.
>>339809819
Oh, nice I guess.
Wonder why they didn't do the same for Arcanum.
>>339809901
I guess because Activision hasn't made a deal with the modders of Arcanum.
The guy who made the Gentlemen of the Row mod got hired by Volition who liked his work.
>>339805795
>2458 games on Steam
>8 worked in GOG
Well, that was pointless.
>>339805795
Steam has more games than GOG has users.
>>339810006
Your anecdote doesn't mean that it's a constant for everyone.
>>339810054
Though 90% of those games are hot garbage.
How do I get free GOG games
>>339810159
And 90% of GOG users are faggots.
>>339810094
I can't play other peoples' games, now can I?
>>339810187
And 90% of Steam users are faggots.
90% of people in general are faggots.
Advertising is against board rules.
>>339805795
Only about 15% of the games I have are on GOG.
Not going to switch unless it's all advantages and, of course, I can get all the library in there.
>think about buying a game on gog
>just buy it on steam instead
what's the point of playing a videogame if my friends can't see I'm playing it
I know gog galaxy exists but no one fucking uses it
>>339810282
If only, friend. If only.
One of the rules that aren't enforced by the shill-mods.
>>339810006
It's only the start.
They plan to add more games.
The list of potential games is long.
>Witcher 2+3
>Baldurs Gate 1+2 Enhanced
>Saints Row 4
>Dying Light
>Metro 2033 and Last Light
>Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain, Anachronox and Thief
>the Risen and Gothic games
>Postal
>Pillars of Etenity
>the Divinity games
>more Topware titles like Two Worlds 2 or the Earth 21X0 games
>Bethesda titles
>Oddworld
>the Star Wars games
>Indies like La Mulana or Terraria
>>339810318
>switch
Huh? Why not just use both, which you're already doing?
>>339810352
>what's the point of playing a videogame if my friends can't see I'm playing it
wait, do people actually think like this?
>>339810352
>what's the point of playing a videogame if my friends can't see I'm playing it
What kind of logic is this?
>>339810424
No reason to use it unless I bought a game cheaper in there.
>>339805795
>Keysite games
>Redeem on Steam
>Connect to GOG
How dooes GOG make money from this spectacle?
>>339810469
Exactly. And you said you already have 15% of your games on gog so clearly you're buying games there if they're cheaper.
I just don't know what you mean by "switch", abandon steam completely for no reason?
>Steam games work on GOG
>GOG games don't work on Steam
Gaben in denial, eh? More like GOG filing for bankruptcy.
>>339810160
Torrent sites. It's literally the same download you'd get from GOG itself. Sometimes people even upload megacollections of many GOG games.
>>339810523
It's temporary with the games changing frequently and overall it only exists to make people use GOG.
GOG, Origin and Uplay need to give the palyers a few freebees in order to damage the monopoly position of Steam.
>>339810523
It is a publisher deal
Publishers win by getting people out of steam
gog wins by people testing tge service and galaxy
>>339810575
No, what I said is that only 15% of my Steam games are, or, according to these lists, will be, compatible with GOG.
Don't have any game on my GOG account aside from some free ones.
Publishers and devs want to hurt Steam because Steam having absolute market control is bad for them.
So they don't mind giving sites like GOG a bit free stuff.
Steam dominating the market without opposition would be the worst for everyone.
>>339810626
>Publishers win by getting people out of steam
That makes sense. Competition is a good thing, I guess.
>>339810352
I would prefer to be completely invisible on steam
>>339810634
I see I misunderstood that completely
gog has some pretty fucking cheap games but whenever I see anything on sale, I already own it on steam
>>339810716
offline mode
This move by Gog is basically: next time you think about buying a titlem do it on Gog
>galaxy
>chat
>Friends
>achievements
>>339805795
Would anyone want any of those games?
I mean Saints Row is a maybe, but I think I've had enough fun with that fantastic PC port.
Give me the ability to port all my games to GOG and I will move off Steam, I don't like people seeing what I play.
>>339810831
nice tip
>>339810831
>go offline mode
>people still message me
>''Dude, why are you always away?''
>>339810387
>all these modern games
Huh? I thought the entire point of GOG was packaging old games so they work on modern OS's
>>339808876
But you can.
>>339810352
Yeah like one of the main advantages of actually buying games instead of just pirating is that I can flaunt my taste.
>>339810871
What? You don't have to add anyone or ever even give anyone your profile link. Are you retarded
>>339810973
That's hardly a problem with Steam though. Why do you have people on Steam that you hate talking to?
>>339810976
Thats one of their pillars.
The other thing is promoting DRM-free games.
>anon missing that steam is a subscription, but gog is identical to physical
>>339805795
>Two Worlds
Actually one of the worst RPGs I have ever played.
>>339810387
Their focus is on older games, which use way less bandwidth.
And Bethesda games aren't coming, especially not the recent ones that are Steam-exclusive.
>>339805795
>OH WOW MY ABANDONWARE $1 HUMBLE BUNDLE SHIT GAMES WORK ON GOG XD
whoop de doo
Who here searches for GOG in torrent sites?
>godtier copies/editions
>>339811105
>And Bethesda games aren't coming
I was refering to the ones that already are on Steam like Morrowind, Quake, Doom and Wolfenstein
>>339807515
Yeah sometimes you can get cheaper meat at Walmart instead of costco too.
>DON'T SHOP AT WALMART THEY HAD MEAT AT PRICES HIGHER ONCE
Kek
>>339811152
*already on GOG
>>339811150
>earching for a torrent from a website that sells torrented games in the first place
What does this mean to me?
Meanwhile at PSN
>>339810282
I thought the only enforced rule was "No fun allowed"
>>339811320
don't worry, o cautious one
>>339811185
>The quality of gtav5 diminishes if you get it cheaper
Retard.
>>339811218
Source?
>>339811052
I have real life friends and family seeing me waste all my time on games, don't like that.
Man I still remember missing out on free empire earth from gog like 5 years ago, when they gave away free games every couple months. My old ass cd is scratched to shit and lost the expansion
Now buying it feels wrong but I want to digitally "own it"
What should I play on my GOG backlog?
>>339812810
Robinhood is fun.
>>339813003
That's the one that's like Commandos, right? Really gotta replay it sometime
>>339813414
Yeah. A bit too easy and exploitable, but still fun.
Surgeon Simulator was silently added to the Connect list.
>>339813759
great, now I will buy it, heh
>>339811343
>NBA2k16
>Gone Home
Why I find that so funny.

>>339811451
It doesn't, I just don't get why people seem to demonize stores for not having the exact same prices for everything.
>>339814771
What does the Rat Catcher have to do with it?
>>339815057
flautist = GoG
flute = GoG Connect
rats = steam users
>>339815264

>>339811343
>Free game
>Needs to pay a monthly fee
>>339805795
gratis != free
Your freedoms are respected a little more on GOG then steam, though it still isproblematic
>>339815604
Full Definition of gratis
: without charge or recompense : free <the food was supplied gratis>
>>339806462
This.
I've never had a single issue with Steam, ever, aside from them not having a good policy for refunds on vaporware and making trading a little difficult.
>>339813003
>Game crashes as soon as I beat the first level
epic. I'll try Corsairs

i don't think they thought this through
how do i install the blood and wine expansion using galaxy directly?
is it possible?
>>339805795

Steam isn't DRM bro. It's a distribution service just like GOG.

Good ol Goys are this desperate.
