I want, but I'll wait for release in Steam

Awsome thanks for the link !

[TotalAbyss]

As I said in your other thread. I will get it if it comes out on steam, I will not get GoG just for cata. If I really wanted to play cata right now I would just pop the disk in and patch it up to run on my system.

... wonder why wasn't release on STEAM as well

[doge]

A will wait steam release.

Sorry you can always wait. Because it is an exclusivity gog for now. I do not know how much time this excluded (1 years, several years see perpetual). I am more gog than steam but I understand that they want a library want a steam release. I invite you to write to gearbox to know if it is a perpetual exclusivity or a steam release is planned later (I wish it for you).

[TheOrangeBox]

never thought about the exclusivity with GOG - oh well as long as we can have access

Sorry but I need a homeworld3 game rather than this. I have not played this title even when it came out back in the day. I could not play it with graphics like this. Especially since I hear it's not meant to be canon and was developed off the grid by a different company. I believe the source code is lost which is why it's not being updated.

I don't understand why not to buy it on Gog

1) Gog release has NO DRM
2) Gog release is available NOW
3) Gog Galaxy is Optional client,
4) Steam is a Mandatory client and you need to install it on every pc

Steam is only mandatory if the publisher for a game chooses to make it mandatory for their game on Steam. Lots of Steam games are DRM-free, and publishers can choose to make their game DRM-free on Steam whenever they wish to.

Here's a list of some of the DRM-free games on Steam:

http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games


Notice that while games on Steam can be DRM-free, meaning that they can be launched without the client running, they still need Steam to download them in the first place (unless they were archived from a previous installation and copied to a new location).

GoG has a similar "DRM" requirement to the Steam client when it comes to downloading and installing games. With GoG, a person must have a GoG account and must log into their GoG account using a username and password to access and download their games. The games then download with the GoG installer.

The difference there is sort of like each GoG game downloads its own installer, while the Steam client is an installer for all a person's Steam games.

But both e-retailers require an account and a log-in to access and download games for installation.

Doesn't the remastered collection come with cataclysm which is basically emmergence? Also ♥♥♥♥ blizzard

No. Cataclysm was a different publisher and story to which the original source code was lost and therefore could not be remastered I believe.

Are you sure? Because i think i remembered playing it on the Remastered. May be wrong memory though because quite a lot of time has passed since then.
Forget about that. It was Homeworld 2.
