Worst case scenario I turn to piracy for games I've already bought. I only use GOG for stuff that's not on steam to avoid having to pirate.

My dad's been playing video games longer than most people on this board have been alive, and his exact quote was:
>"If I can't get it on GOG, I'm not buying it. If I can't pirate it, I'm not playing it. In that order."

>>717237995 (OP)
Why do you guys keep shilling a dying store on concepts nobody cares about?
>Steam has more games, has a bunch of neat features, and a better client
>"BUT YOU COULD JUST DOWNLOAD 4GB CHUNKS OF GAMES NOBODY WANTS OR USE THIS HORRIBLE WEB BROWSER CLIENT"
>"ALSO STEAM IS THE SAME EVEN THOUGH STEAM HAS SMALL MODE WHICH IS INFINITELY MORE USABLE"
>what does ownership mean for me?
>"THEY CAN'T TAKE YOUR GAMES EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER HAVE AND MAKE MONEY HAND OVER FIST AND WON'T DIE WITHIN THE DECADE LIKE GOG CERTAINLY WILL"
>GOG is always behind on updates, and lacks beta channels for games that have them
>"UPDATES ARE BAD FOR SOME REASON"
Just the lack of a lot of games by itself makes it worthless. Why buy on 2 stores, one significantly less convenient than the other, so I can fight a revolution for faggots who are mad at Valve because they got VAC banned for wallhacking in CSGO?

people buy games from gog?

>>717238834
Not really, but people shill it because they're mad at Valve and think they're going to topple them by schizoposting on 4chan.

>>717238595
Why did you take the most obvious bait?
You do realize that you can use them all at the same time right? Gog steam epic uplay origin, all of them

you're forgetting that the GOG team sometimes patch games to work on modern OSes, either the publisher gives them access to the source code or they through reverse engineering or by just adding fan-made patches
and furthermore games like VTMB and some others aren't available anywhere else

>>717238834
Literally for shit I want to support but could just as easily emulate, and it's somehow not on steam.

>>717239101
This is why they're cool, but I'd still prefer the games to be on steam if given the option.

>>717238937
There's no point in using others.

>>717239301
There is

>>717237995 (OP)
I agree.

>>717237995 (OP)
.>Based? Nah, I prefer cuckoldry.
You still need an account, electricity, and an internet connection to download "your" games from GOG.

Have fun hoarding like a retarded rat. Games are toys meant for entertainment.

Okay zoomie.

>>717242972
>40 year old zoomer calling me a zoomer
Literally nobody cares about GOG, which is why they're going bankrupt and are begging for money with sales.

>>717237995 (OP)
you don't own your games on GOG either, retard

>>717244154
You do, because license agreements are irrelevant.
You don't own your games on Steam, because license agreements matter, sweaty. :3

>>717244228
yeah this is their "logic" basically

>>717238834
Only Denuvo shills support pirating from GOG.

All free. A lot of it I already have on Steam. Those that I don't I've never downloaded and likely never will.

>>717237995 (OP)
Loads of games on Steam have zero DRM and will just work if you uninstall Steam.

>>717238595
Not on GOG - No buy.

Simple as.

>>717246470
you can't launch any game without the steam client

it's the exact same shit as steam, they can remove your license, after which if you continue playing the games it's no different from pirating them

>>717248294
Plenty of games don't require the Steam client to launch, retard.

>>717238175
based dad, anon

>>717239301
there is plenty of reasons to use GoG specifically
>old games are plenty and work out of the box on modern machines
>offline installers
>DRM free
>free offline patches
>supporting fair competition

>>717246967
based

>>717248841
>license
that's why they made a "wink-wink" safeguard in the form of DRM free offline installers
if for some reason like alien overlords or something management starts making retarded decisions you still keep your games on your local storage

gogto go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

>>717237995 (OP)
Post GOGchan!

>>717250173
>GoG
Found the LARPer.
>old games are plenty and work out of the box on modern machines
DOS games usually come with regular DOSBox, making you replace it with DOSBox Staging for modern machines. Also, some stuff is hacked with outdated community patches. Sometimes, that becomes an insurmountable problem, as you need a vanilla copy to apply newer ones.
>offline installers
I guess, but I don't really care.
>DRM free
Ditto.
>free offline patches
When you get patches. There's a lot of games where the developer forgets they have a GOG version. You're also not eligible for beta channels for games where new features are being tested.
>supporting fair competition
So does Steam.

The fact of the matter is that Steam and Epic have the largest libraries, and Epic is unusable. So if you already are locked into Steam for over half your games, why go hunt down your installers for other games just because some Polacks sell them? GOG is dangerously close to going out of business as well. Hope you have your installers backed up.

>>717237995 (OP)
The terms still say you're only purchasing a revokable license.

>>717237995 (OP)
>i dont want to use steam i want to own my games
>lemme just use another launcher
lol

>>717250302
is this another reason why games are a hundred gigabytes now?

>>717250963
No launcher needed, newfag. You just download the offline installer.

>>717250302
well you might as well pirate them
because legally and morally it's no different

>>717251126
so why use gog instead of having the pure game cracked?
faggot

>>717251181
That's for Steam or other launcher store games.

>>717251181
>the pure game cracked
No DRM, you dumbfuck.

>>717251212
why
>>717251229
and pirated games have drm
lol

>>717250875
It's irrelevant because you can download DRM-free installers and keep them forever.

>>717237995 (OP)
Here's what you buy on GOG, a revokable license

>>717251352
License agreements don't mean anything on GOG, sweaty. :3
But on Steam, they're iron clad.

>>717251164
Who gives a fuck? The reason to buy games you like is to give the devs some kickback to show them you appreciate their work and thus encourage more to be made.

>>717237995 (OP)
>steamers have no response to this

>>717251315
>why
Because they don't offer DRM free installers.

>>717251352
>sign into gog account
>download game installer
>say "nigger nigger nigger" on gog forum
>jannies can ban me, but they can't undownload the installer
>games protected forever

>>717251456
You can't even buy Doom Eternal on Gog. The library is significantly smaller, having initially launched as a way to buy older games.

>>717251352
Once you have a full packed installable physical copy on your HD, good luck enforcing that.

>>717251575
You can't even buy Breath of Fire IV on scheme

>>717251181
do you have proof that the exe hasn't been tampered with maliciously? nigga?

>>717251575
If the game isn't on GOG, it must suck, ok??????????????????? Why wouldn't the best game store with the biggest market share have it??????????????????

>>717251320
You can drag and drop a single file to keep your steam games forever too

>>717251348

based and jolly roger-pilled

>>>Only "free games" they offer are Postal 2 (a game I already own) Agony (literal dogshit trash) and a dozen or more porn games I wouldn't even touch with a forty foot pole even if I was horny

*YAAAAAWN* nice... nice campaign you got going there.
