GOG.com

Great post. I wholeheartedly agree.

 

So you want to pay more for the same product? Got it, you're stupid, that's all you had to say in the first place.

 

If you've got internet to post here, there's really no reason you can't use Steam and the RAM consumption should only bother you if you're running a PC with less than 2GB RAM, which nobody who is serious about gaming does nowadays. Steam might be DRM, but it's not near as inconvenient as people make it out to be. If your internet goes down it's still got a fully functional offline mode so you can play the games (just like if you downloaded it from GoG) and even if the Steam service goes down you can keep downloading your games because the Steam servers and the content servers are separate.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong for not wanting to use Steam, that's entirely their choice, but I do find it odd because the reasons given usually date back to a mentality people had pre-2007. This is 2013. Internet and RAM requirements shouldn't be an issue for all but the most backwards countries and/or people. We don't all have dial-up and pentium 4s with 512mb RAM anymore.

 

Products? Steam doesn't sell products, they sell a service; a license to play a game.
Buying from GOG you get a product; a copy of the game.
The difference may be too subtle for you you notice, though.

 

GOG sells the source code to each game you buy?

 

Papa Gabe would never do this to us!

 

Having a jolly good time with it so far!

 

DRM is just about convenience, it's also about game preservation.

 

Hence playing when you want part, You can't sell it on the market but making hard copy of DRM frei game is possible.

 

Which part of "a copy of the game" did you fail to comprehend, Mr. Strawman?

 

EA Expansion Friday, mofos!

The following games had their expansions added today:

Syndicate: 'Merrican Revolt
Populous: The Promised Lands
Populous The Beginning: Undiscovered Worlds
Magic Carpet - Hidden Worlds

and last but certainly not least:

Dungeon Keeper: Deeper Dungeons

Thanks for reading and enjoy!

 

That's for Amigas and Atari ST, bro

 

Yes it is

 

Ghost Recon too, I think. Not that I care.

Actually for fuck's sake we need the sequels to those games too.

 

You understand most of the old games from steam can be run directly from the executable without steam even launching, right? Of course you don't, you're an idiot.

 

Big day for GOG - EA expansions, two releases (both adventures!), and the return of the weekly videos.

 

Not to mention a rather decent weekend sale - containing, among other titles, Jagged Alliance 2!

JudasIscariot When are you fine folks announcing the winners for the oldest fags contest from yesterday? I noticed a new giveaway started but there wasn't a list of the previous days winners. Pretty sure I had the max age date and was in the top 100 first responders. Where MA MONIES???

 

I quote:

"You have time until tomorrow, that's Tuesday, October 1, at 2:59PM GMT to enter the giveaway"

As far as announcing the winners goes, it depends on how long it takes to process everything. Usually a few days after the contest ends.
