Pretty cool!
Ngl if Steam ever had a product decay I maybe start buying games on GOG instead.
And the DRM free thing on GOG sounds neat(even if I don’t think Steams DRM is that bad its slightly bad ofc)
And GOG should add like:
More video games,Steam workshop equivalent,their own proton/contributions to Proton,GOG Galaxy port to Linux/better Linux support,multiplayer sdk?(like Steam?),etc If they want it to become a good steam competitior.Steam does allow DRM-free games, it’s up to whoever is publishing the game to the platform.
GOG just currently requires it.Most of the games on GOG are also DRM-free on Steam.
So it’s really just looking at prices and other features that is the defining factor. Considering Steam’s Linux support, GOG is off the table for me.
oh yeah i forgot about that,ig GOG gives the guarantee that the games are DRM-FREE.
and i assume the dev/publisher chooses what type of DRM to do like Denuvo,Steams own DRM (needing the Steam client),etcSteam don’t disclose it, there’s no tag or label on the store page. Which is fucking shitty, either oversight or business decision. So you would never know unless you tried launching the executable yourself, looked it up online or the game was marketed that way.
But yeah, with GOG, you just instantly know.
?
Steam does have warning labels for games with DRM, or at least popular shitty DRM options such as 3rd party launchers.
Example:
We were not discussing that. It’s about a label on DRM-free games, marking them as such.
