This is a community forum, so "you guys" are the other people playing the game.

As far as Civ on GOG goes, 1 and 2 don't appear to be on there. 3 and 4 were only added after they'd been done for years. 5 and 6 are Steamworks games and do not exist in DRM-free form.

I'm sure you are right in that is what OP meant. However, I doubt Firaxis has any choice in the matter, that is likely a decision made by their corporate overlords, 2K, or above that Take2.

GOGs Market niche is older, DRM free games at very low prices. They are the place to go for older games and some classics. Good company.

But, as far as I know they never sell new release AAA titles, or games that cannot be stripped of copy protection. I agree they deserve support! But it's not the place to shop for new games, or games like Civ6 with DRM, "baked in."

I doubt it will change anytime soon, if ever. I hope they do well.

They sell plenty of newer games, not sure about AAA, it depends on what counts. Don't they have the Witcher games? They'll sell anything that a publisher is willing to sell without DRM. They sell a lot of newer indie stuff, though.

Yeah, if fact you are right. Main thing is no DRM. The witcher games are to be applauded for the devs trusting customers. And, no DRM so it's on GOG too. I've seen Witcher 1 and two there. I guess they have 3 too, but not checked as I already have it (through Steam.)

"Very low prices" BAHAHAH

The Witcher publisher owns GOG, or maybe the other way around. Either way, that's why you see the Witcher series there and often on sale.

Heh Heh, funny. That explains all the sales then. Never knew that until now. Not sure why, but it gave me a good laugh to read your post. Cheers.
