I hope it comes DEI-free too.

I should buy more games on GOG but man, I love having all my games in one place and the way Steam keeps track of the played time tickles my brain in a way I can't describe. Love seeing those numbers going up.

I dont care about all this...i just want the game (offline installers)....thats it. But you know that gog also has an optional launcher? I am pretty sure it shows you "time played" and stuff as well.

The bigger problem is that too many devs are too hesitant to release on GOG. So i am trying to support all devs who bring their banger games over there (it aint much anyway).
Also this case here with KCD2 is weird. If you decide to release yr game on Steam without Denuvo...I see no any reason to not release it on GOG at the same time. But who knows whats going on there.

Good for consumers.

I still get the Steam version, though. Patch notes on GOG aren't maintained, even from big studios and even CDPR doesn't give a damn about GOG. Everything except Steam feels like an afterthought.

You can track that stuff with GOG Galaxy just fine.

Also, what I love about PC is the freedom. I don't want all my eggs in one basket so buy from whomever is best. And DRM free is always best.

Dude let it go. That much salt can't be good for you.

One of the best LGBTQ+ games out there, highly recommended.

In the old days you could buy a game day 1 and own it DRM free to keep forever at the same time. Without having to dehype yourself to wait over a game you want bad enough to buy and own forever.

Yeah I get that GOG day one is tantamount to releasing a precracked version ready, just that from the eyes of "normal paying customers", it's still a shit choice to present. The saving grace is Steam is excellent.

I actually realized that I had been eating uniodised salt so I've been eating more of that and I've been feeling better, so I don't fully agree with your take.

Even physical is not really DRM free anymore since those games practically require patching to function properly.

Of course yes, the least bad area for this seems to be Nintendo

Eh, I think the last Zelda game had a large day one patch that had to fix and include a whole bunch of things.

The most meaningful aspect of the patch I can remember is that it fixed the dupe trick. My friend even intentionally didn't patch his so he could keep doing it. I'm sure there are other things, but point is the game was done and complete on the cart day one.

I accept there will always be game patches now, even for Mario games. As long as the initial cart is a finished product and not something intended to need to be patched later just so it can go gold, I'm good.

A lot of times new games just don't get patches at same speed as Steam. So I usually double dip on GoG after everything is patched up for games I want to keep long term.

Reminder that GOG is the only marketplace that makes sense.

 

[squidilix]

Very good. We need more games without DRM (YES, Steam is one of them)

I don't think it's too surprising, but obviously I'm happy to have it confirmed. Will definitely buy it from GOG.... whenever I get around to buying it.
