      Yeah I gotta say that I am a steam fanboy, but GOG is making me pause. After 20 years of being on steam (oh my god it’s been that long) I am finding myself preferring GOG. No DRM is pretty sick.

      They want to fight back against steam the winner isn’t more DRM, it’s using valve’s own weapon against them, and using less DRM.

        If it wasn’t for Valve’s aggressive support for Linux (and GOG being for-profit and hence inherently evil) then I’d definitely prioritize GOG.

        GOG version is superior for modding like Skyrim or Fallout series because of the forced updates if you launch the game on Steam.

      I will always choose GOG over Steam if given the choice, but too many developers still think it’s okay to take your money without giving you true ownership of your purchase. Steam allows that exploitation and GOG does not.
