Do you CHUDS actually BUY games from here or is it just a glorified piracy front

Both. I buy so my friends can pirate.

You own the games unlike steam

>>720180180 (OP)
Both. I do both. Unless it's multiplayer then it's Steam but otherwise GOG.

you can buy games!?

>>720180180 (OP)
Both (There's some games here I don't remember buying like KoF2002 but whatever)

>Buy game from GoG so they keep releasing DRM free games with 1 click installers
>Anon gets access to easily pirate said games with zero effort instead of configuring dos box and troubleshooting random titles with tons of bullshit
>Anon proceeds to laugh and hiss and fling shit
Not that all GoG titles run great, but they do eliminate a lot of bullshit for some games.

>>720180474
I just wish they'd do some more TLC with their backlog. There are some games that are impossible to beat without hitting up community fixes, like Interstate '76.

I got about 350 games on GOG and just over 1k on steam - Almost everything on GOG is the older stuff that isn't on steam and the free stuff they've given away over the years so very few few actual dollars spent compared to steam where all the big purchases happen. And of course anything multiplayer is typically done on steam/EA/Blizzard/rockstar apps - i don't use ubisoft and epic games storefronts since nothing on there really interests me but I've been thinking about alan wake 2 at some point which would mean epic and picking up the avatar games on ubisoft's launcher.

>>720180180 (OP)
When I want to buy games I always check GOG first, Steam second.

>>720180180 (OP)
If you want more drm games then you better be buying from here. Do you want the Denuvo nightmare to endure forever? Then buy on GOG kiddo.

>>720180180 (OP)
Buy from GOG or Zoom Platform or Fire Flower games, support DRM-free installers!

>>720180180 (OP)
If it's on gog, I buy it on gog. Simple as

>>720181232
Agreed, though some things may be out of their hands.

>>720180180 (OP)
Bought Disco Elysium from and I've been loving ever since.

>>720180180 (OP)
I do. But it's best for older games (as its name implies). Another anon here summarized pretty well:
For multiplayer games, then steam.
For single player games, GoG.
I'd add to that the single player games you buy through gog are best those that are finished, ie. With all their DLC nd patches.

>I'd add to that the single player games you buy through gog are best those that are finished, ie. With all their DLC nd patches.

Agreed. Unfortunately devs can sometimes treat GOG users as 2nd class citizens.

I pirate most of my games but if I vuy ones it's ONLY on steam. No steam no buy unironically.

I have a gog account but all my games from there are giveaways. Best ones they've given for free are Prey, Brigador and Battle Realms.
There's also the three Shadowrun games but I only played Dragonfall

>>720180180 (OP)
its where i downloaded quake from

>>720180180 (OP)
You can't pirate anything from GoG. wtf are you talking about? You can only buy stuff from there and sometimes they offer games for free.

Now, gog-games, that's where you get free shit

>>720191595
>g*g-games
My favorite piracy site.

I don't buy games on GOG anymore because it directly funds shit threads on /v/.

I buy some

Also this

>>720180240
it's trivial to crack steam

>>720180180 (OP)
It's great for old games because they curate the minimal community patches necessary for a good experience on modern hardware for you.

>>720191840
Idiotic statement. Steam allows any and all DRM on their games, some uncracked to this day (Just Cause 3 comes to mind)

>>720180180 (OP)
Generally I try to buy them from there instead of steam. Being able to download installers is nice.

>>720180180 (OP)
Everything I have on gog I got for free from Amazon gaming

I only pay for porn games. Pirated everything else since I became a pc gamer in 2005

>>720189083
Do you desperately need all your games in one place?

>>720192840
NTA, but it's trivial to crack *the majority of* Steam games.

>>720193106
Annoyingly for me, they're doling out the old Silver/Gold Box DnD games of late, which I spent $30 on Steam last Xmas (lowest it was at the time in my currency), and have only cleared three games of the one pack since. Least whoever manages those packs actually takes good fucking care of them on Steam (and I presume GOG), unlike most old game releases on Valve's platform.

What's the best GOG exclusive games?

>>720193730
SWAT 4.

>>720192840
So show me the DRM free Just Cause 3 on GOG so I can buy that copy instead.

More than I thought I had.

>>720180180 (OP)
I buy older games and some newer games I'd really like to have an offline copy of, but never at full price. I only ever buy when they're on sale. It really helps you to get around the hassle of compatibility or patches necessary, and their one-click major mod installers are a fantastic way of having a separate install just for that version of bigger mods. I'm glad they decided to do that and it actually makes me want to buy games just for that.

>buy from Steam
>steal from GOG and Nintendo
Simple as.

I buy everything that isn't Steam-exclusive on GOG to support future releases.
I only pirate games that I'm not sure my craptop can run, or those whose creators I specifically don't want to support. Usually I buy those afterwards, unless they sucked.
>consoles
I only pirate and emulate a handful of pre-2000 games.

>>720180180 (OP)
I bought the first Baldur's Gate the other day

Almost boughtened Silksong, but I want to show my friends online that I did.

>>720195797
Based pick. SWAT 4 is one of those lost gems that actually benefits from GOG’s existence. No launcher BS, community-made SEF mod works flawlessly, and it’s still one of the best tactical shooters ever made. Shame it never got a proper sequel, but I’ll take replaying the Meat Barn map at 2am over most modern shooters any day.

>>720201538
>SWAT

>>720180180 (OP)
neither i just collect free games
thats how i experienced AvP 2000 which was great

I only buy games on GOG.
Steam is for fags and epic is a meme
I like owning my games

>GOG: No games
>Steam: All games

>>720191840
>the steam_api drm is actually based and redpilled

>>720180180 (OP)
I give GOG money, yes.

>>720201538
I tried ready or not and it's pretty much identical
No baby cemetery in that one I'm guessing

>>720201725
Talking about SWAT 4, not Ready or Not. They're completely different devs.
