I don't get it, GOG had much better sales for thier Summer Sale two weeks ago than Steam does now, yet everyone still gives Valve more money for the same thing. Why?
GOG is easily #2 to Steam, but why can't it catch up? I want to know why you like GOG less.
no achievments
>>343096772
steam is more convient for me and I already have all my games on it
>>343096772
Trading cards
>>343096772
That's a very good question phone poster.
People don't like to discontinue using a familiar product which they are satisfied with.
>>343096772
I don't approve of packaging abandonware with Dosbox and selling it, especially when only publishers get the money.
>>343097219
Yeah I always wondered why no one brings this up. Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines is the same situation yet everyone on here tells you to pirate it.
>>343097038
For what?
Why does gabe look like a bum now
>>343096772
gog has like 1% of the games Steam has.
Steam has better features: workshop, item trading, game economies
>>343096772
I didn't even buy anything from GOG, just collected all the free points I needed for Spelunky.
>>343098210

Hang yourself you fucking pubescent.
>>343096772
Steam has a nice program and interface, servers that last forever. Plus it's better to have your games with on service rather than spread out over many.
>>343096772
If GOG got just a few more games, I feel like I could leave Steam forever.
>>343099008

> Lasts forever
Kek, shit is gonna hit the fan when Gabe's fat ass croaks in the next few years.
>>343096772
gog did not have better sale as far as game selection went
>>343096772
I like GOG. I just wish the website wasn't garish white shit.
There is no difference between pirating a game and buying it on GOG
No cloud saves, no chevos, no trading cards, nothing
>>343097963
for you
My hours aren't recorded to my profile and my friends won't see that I'm playing it
>>343099593
Worst case scenario they would be forced via court order to provide all the games for download if Steam dies.
>>343096772
Because GOG is literally store instead of all-in-one platform like Steam.
>>343097219
>publishers don't deserve to be compensated for their investment
Always funny watching the rationalization of a scumbag.
What? I was on GOG a when the sale was up and there were no games at all worth getting. Just indieshit. The only thing I bought from them during the sale was TW3
GOG kicks ass I love it. That no DRM.
>>343100804
Steam is just a DRM program with friends list tacked on
>muh social interactions
>muh DRM
>muh logged hours

Steam is so fucking shit and the only valid reason for using it is for games that aren't on GOG.
>>343098062
Because you haven't bough enough hats
>>343101021
Yeah, but the friendlist has shitton of tacky gimmicks added to it to appeal to casuals.
It's practically facebook with games whereas GOG is just a shop.
>>343101172
It's a shop with not many games people want, though, and I refuse to buy Dosbox shit. If they want to sell me old games nobody cares about, the least they could do is make a proper remaster.
>>343100751
Not necessarily. Whoever takes over after Gabe can do whatever they want, including selling the platform to a company like Activison if they wanted to.
I used to use Impulse alot and fucking Stardock said fuck it and sold the platform to Gamestop of all companies. Let me tell you the platform doesn't exist anymore.
>>343100331
and why would you want that shit?
esp. faggot trading cards
gog doesn't have a gambling system for kids like steam does, if they had one they would make bank so fast
>>343099008
>servers that last forever.
Kek
Except on tuesday during their most active hours
>>343101529
adding to this, once people spend hundreds of dollars on their gambling account they will get attacched to it because if they don't they would feel stupid for throwing money away
>>343096772
How is the sales better?
Was Shadow Warrior cheaper on GOG than Steam?
>>343101476
Why would I pay the same amount of money for less shit

>>343101021
Steam is a download manager with social features. It's 100% up to the developer to choose what it downloads for you (within the TOS, of course)

for someone who wasn't even wanting to get onsteam but was forced with shogun 2 TW drm. I was pissed off at first.
as the years have gone on I can see it's benefits and am actually a fan of it.
forums for every game so you can fix problems and meet people for co-op.
honest and often comical reviews from like minded people.
instant access to all your games (only ever seen steam go down once in 3 years)
keeping the DRM games in one place is a plus.
only thing GOG has over steam is non DRM games.

>>343099593
>Gabe will die before Episode 3 is released
>It's a race of wether Gabe or GURRM is the first to die before completing their oeuvre
Why?
Because Steam was the first to establish itself as a digital distributor and people have had more experience using it and thus trust it more.
I love CDPR as a company and I see where they're trying to go, but look at what happened to Valve once running Steam become their top priority. I'd like to see more games to the quality of The Witcher.
>>343096772
Maybe nobody wants to pay for abandonware while steam has 40% off GTA V

I agree fellow /v/ro! GOG® always has the better sales, especially with no DRM! CD Project® are so fricking 'based' for selling games without DRM! Also make sure to check out their epic GOG® Galaxy® Client for the best experience! DRM free of course!
GOG® - Have it your way, without DRM™
>>343106389
I can't see what is the argument behind your ironic shitposting. Are you mocking OP for being a GOG shill or you don't like the drm-less "feature"?
People already have plenty of their games on one service, Steam. Why would they want another service?
Because I already have a few hundred games on Steam. I don't want to have my games spread over few clients. I'm reluctant to even buy Uplay or Origin games.
On top of that Steam has some nice features, like gameplay time and much easier access to community.
>>343106679
>Are you mocking OP for being a GOG shill
yes
>or you don't like the drm-less "feature"?
Not the feature itself but it being literally the only thing gog shills use to distance themselves from other platforms.

Great points.
GOG is dead to me ever since they succumbed to peer pressure and decided not to allow Hatred on the store.
I'll gladly take Gaben as my current benevolent overlord, if he's the only one willing to provide an inclusive service.

Easy - GOG dont have as much games.
Dont get me wrong, I would buy things at GOG instead of Steam, but, for example, out of games on my Steam wishlist, none are present at GOG.
And at some games, prices are actually lower on Steam. But that might apply just in my case, since Steam wants me to pay in EUR, when GOG let me change between EUR and USD.
>>343108198
So?

Where do i say its bad you retard that game is just absolute shit no matter how you look at it
Steam is built up in such a way that it holds the games, contacts etc of its users hostage.
If you want to leave, if you have to leave those.
And if you have to continue using it, then why use another service.
The whole set up is meant to generate as much user inertia as possible.

No good multiplayer games. I was looking through GOG when the sales were up and they had some really good deals but no multiplayer games. Battlefield 4 was a fucking steal on Origin for $5.

Hatred is AO rated which is something most storefronts don't sell. Steam was basically an exception due to whining and GABEN COMING TO THE RESCUE XD
>lots of Steam games don't use it
In order to install the games you need to install the client as well, dumbo.
That alone is a form of DRM.
>>343109171
May i know why you weaboo type people are obsessed with such bullshit, its just a drawn anime girl and shes not even beutiful like wtf nigga

It's like when people bitched the other day about having to launch the free prince of persia with uPlay. Steam does the same goddamn thing.
>>343109417
>>343102446
Also another thing about Steam is that it has forced updates on games.

>I want to know why you like GOG less.
Steam, in general, offers more services than any other game client I know.
Streaming, image/video/forum hosting, inventory/market, friends/chat, group events, mod/workshop support, and probably a couple other things I don't care for, but might to other people.
It's successful because it covers a wide spectrum when it comes to giving power to the user.
>>343109417
Once again, the client itself comes with no DRM, dumbo.

People tell me that Valve games are great because you can make money off them with cosmetics.
But if it were that easy, how come everybody isn't doing it? How come money is even a problem with people on this board?
Also, how much money was spent obtaining that cosmetic in comparison to what that person made back?
>>343110050
The client itself IS DRM. You can't install games without downloading said client (which again, also forces updated on you want them or not).
Compare that to GOG where you can later on choose if you want gets updated versions AND don't need to download any client of the sort in order to download the game.
To GoG shills: would you use steam if you could download games you bought from a webpage running steam's store without having to install steam.
Note that not every game on steam uses DRM, and you can copy your installation to a different computer and run it without having steam installed.
>>343109454
Watch Yuru Yuri and you will understand
most of GOG's games are pretty old which isn't really a big deal but you can't compare their sales side by side with steam when steam has so many more games to choose from
>>343110268
DRM = any management scheme that takes the software management away from the end-user in some manner. iTunes is DRM. Steam is DRM. Windows Store is DRM, Google Play is DRM, every walled garden is DRM in some form.
>>343110174
Ive made around 50 euro without even trying, most of the money comes from rich fucks who buy the shit putting alot of money in the system allowing the pooer people to get some of it even without risking much
>>343110263
DRM means the game cannot run without getting checked by software. There are plenty of games on steam that don't do this. Sure, you have to install Steam to actually get the games, but who cares? Steam is a decent program and you're just being autistic by complaining about using it.
>>343110174
There's a trading market and people literally shark all day all night and everything they see is shark, like jews, inside and outside

cos he ain't got

>>343110476
Then I guess GoG is DRM because you have to log in to download your games.
>>343108096
Are you 15, or younger than that?
>>343110268
I use both and I have several problems with steam. Client is piece of shit that nowadays tends to freeze once in a while, updates are 100% forced, the download system is still shit after so many years (a patch comes out while you're downloading the game? Have fucking fun watching download begin from the beginning again!), group chats are still plagued with ghosting, etc.

>gog has a very small library of games
>gog has a shitty client. For instance I spend 90% of my time in steam big picture mode and gog does not offer anything similar. I understand it's supposed to be a basic bitch client, but is sucks.

An entire generation of gaymers have been raised on Steam. They do not see it as DRM. They were born into the system, molded by it. They don't need to worry about Gay Ben's shitty customer support as long as this shovelware keeps going 75% off
I missed the GoG sale. Now steam sale will be the last bigger sale for a while and Star Ruler 2 is on sale albeit only 33%. FUCK! I would have bought it on GoG if I didn't forget sales were on. Now I'm really conflicted on whether I should wait out indefinite amount of time to get it on sale from GoG or just get it on steam?
>>343110050
a) But makes itself needed in all sort of parasitic ways that makes it hard if not impossible to do away with it. See updates for one.
b) It *is* the tool by which DRMs is being enforced, and can be at the drop of a switch, even after you already paid for the product. The client itself of course, is a DRM because of the activation and account tying.
>>343110268
I'm not a "GOG shill". I think GOG is less bad than Steam. Doesn't mean I have much love for it.
And to be quite frank the only thing I want is not to have a company hold any power over games I paid after I paid for them. Optimally I could still buy a game retail and never have to install that shit. Steam or any copycat.
If Valve offered a service that didn't tie you in any way to its service infrastructure. I *might* use it. Pending EULA/TOS.

That's not what what DRM means. That's one use and implementation of DRM solutions, yes, but not limited.

I just feel good about myself when I see 500+ games in my steam library. I don't know why, I don't even play them.

I might be an oldfag here, but that's what young players care bout ? What's the point of tracking time (also done on GOG actually), achievements or muh friends ?
From what I saw, most cards are worth fucking nothing, how poor are you to be attracted to that ?
Cloud saves might be a point, but I can just make my own backups with a few scripts and upload them wherever I want.
>>343097219
Seconded. The publishers should have to update the games to run on modern oses if they want to sell the games.
>>343097219
Meanwhile Steam just has games that don't even work (or just have lot of problems) on W7 and newer and nothing is done about it.
I'm just sick of signing up for loads of bullshit honestly.
I don't want to run proprietary launchers for shit, if your shit isn't on Steam, I seriously don't give two fucks.
I'm sick of signing up for stuff, seriously though. It's fucking old now I've been doing it for like 20 years on pc, I'm done signing up for every little thing.
Any company that tries to stray away from steam with their own bullshit program/launcher/store can just fuck off then.
That new unreal game will never be important or relevant at all whatsoever until it's on Steam, without their little shit launcher.
All Ubisoft and EA games are worthless garbage to begin with but even moreso if they require origins/uplay.
FUCK off with your extra shit I gotta sign up for.
I've been on Steam for 10 years. I enjoy having all my games in one place.

>cards are worth fucking nothing
I've probably made like $40 or $50 from selling cards, and that's from spending like $300. Say cards are worthless if you want, but they aren't.
Hell, I got a foil Lightning card when I bought FF XIII and someone bought it for $8. That was almost the entire price of the game.
>>download it and play
>Same as GOG then.
Yea, right after you wait 15 minutes for it to install.

>>343104686
Yea agreed, they need to get achievements going for old games too. It needs work.
>>343115553
Why would anyone in his right mind want that shit though?
I don't get it, Origin had much better sales for thier Summer Sale two weeks ago than Steam does now, yet everyone still gives Valve more money for the same thing. Why?
Origin is easily #2 to Steam, but why can't it catch up? I want to know why you like Origin less.
>>343115520
nudity mainly
america is fine with killing, we're actually more afraid of sex
and valve is an american based company, so that follows.

I don't get it are you referring to VN's with the whole nudity thing? They have Daggerfall and Duke Nukem 3d which I believe both have tits.

>>343116064
nothing nude-intensive
like a game that is just about having sex while nude
basically lewd and lascivious acts are a no-no
>>343116064
It has to do with AO rating. Big platforms don't sell AO games, Hatred is pretty much an exception to the rule and even that is limited to Steam.
You won't find eroge on Steam or GOG or consoles ever.
VNs with nudity and sex are also censored to all ages versions on Steam and only then can game devs provide uncensor patch.

Am I a shill because I outright say I use GoG to buy most of my games? Meanwhile there are a million Steam sale threads in the catalog.

Steam was there when none else was, and carried me through dark times of gfwl and various cunt publishers ignoring pc entirely. I'm not particularly loyal customer, but GOG has to offer something significantly better for me to care to switch. So far can't say they have

Steam is just a big dick measuring contest. Gotta get those games to fill up my game count and custom backgrounds instead of you know, playing the fucking games.
>>343118482
Maybe that's what you do, don't extrapolate to whole steam

And you know that how?
GOG is GOAT.
much better games, no internet connection required. DRM-free games and so on.
Steam will fuck up long-term-wise

this.
main problem is that steam has a bigger game catalog.
I use GoG whenever I can over Steam though.
I can't stand subscription based gaymen and that fucking cuckold community.
for multiplayer I just use retrogame based shit like Gameranger. it's useful for playing multiplayer modes in Heroes 3 or something.

how does any of that affect you?
>>343118908
Too bad you'll never have the chance to use it.
>>343119594
But the cancerous degenerate elements are often most noisy and outspoken... good people don't post stupid reviews, so you don't see them on the site front-page, but they are there anyway

GOG is a platform for an entirely different type of user, the games they have, and the market rate of those games competes heavily with Steam, but not in the same way.

I only buy old gaems without multiplayer on gog. Anything newer than NWN2 I get on Steam.

What is GOG?
>>343096772
I like GOG more for the most part. But steam has more features built into it.
>>343120996
But NWN1 came out in 2002.

I buy GoG games and run them through Steam because all of my friends are on Steam and that's how I stay in touch with them. I loathe Facebook and only use it to communicate with family and faculty/colleagues so Steam is as close to a social network as I care to get.
Also, it's pretty convenient because I can log in on my craptop and play something over the cloud that I was doing on my desktop when I travel.
It's not perfect and all I've bought on this sale is Banner Saga 2, but there are reasons to use Steam beyond just the sales. GoG is great for old games though. I've bought SO many old games I don't have access to anymore through them. I replayed one of my favorite point-n-click's, Journeyman Project 3, through GoG recently and up until their release the game was un-fucking-playable on modern PCs.

Weren't those games already on GOG though? Wasn't the purpose of Connect was that for those who owned the games on Steam have them activated on GOG, too?
I just don't care I guess. I'm just "flat" these days and don't even mind no flash sales.
>GOG is dead because they haven't allowed a shitty game on their store that would just bring negative attention to the system
Don't get me wrong, i don't care if the game is about killing innocent people, hell i loved Postal 2 and its expansions but Hatred is just a shitty game that's both boring and terribly optimized and on top of that it drags negative attention to your store. I wouldn't sell it either if i were them
>>343096772
Past Steam sales were a bigger deal -- they had mini-games, sweepstakes, new deals every day, and (in the more recent pre-2016 sales) new deals every eight hours.
If Steam continues to have sales like this one -- with no mini-games, no give-aways except trading cards, and worst of all static discounts (which also happen to be less impressive, on average, than typical daily deals of past years) -- the hype will die down accordingly. It won't completely go away, because Steam has a huge community of users who all use a client with a built-in store, and Steam sales are more accessible to those users than any other sale requiring a web browser to see. However, the days of "OH MY GOD IT'S THE STEAM SALE EVERYONE GO NUTS" are pretty much over.

Isn't Hunniepop on steam?
>>343096772
>I don't get it, GOG had much better sales for thier Summer Sale two weeks ago than Steam does now, yet everyone still gives Valve more money for the same thing. Why?
Because I'd rather own a license than something that can be downloaded from thepiratebay.
>>343124064
Yes but you have to patch it from an outside source for uncensored
>>343100530
>>343117115
Kinda this, although I'm more of a GOG user. All I need is to download the game and play, I don't care about client features or "muh everything in one client".
Win key + S -> game name is faster than launching a client, or even popping its window if you let clients launch at startup, which I don't since I don't like to have things pointlessly wasting resources.
>>343118482
That's true. Some people seem to spend far more time collecting rented games than actually playing them. In a sense, Steam is the game. They get the satisfaction of completing a whole IP collection although they will never take the time to complete the games themselves.
It also happens on GoG, but steam pushes the thing further with badges or trading cards.

Steam has a huge game library. More well known. Better client.
