I bought this game on GoG and I hate myself.

[LtQuixotic]

So way long ago there was a sale of GOG Galaxy, one of the worst gaming platforms out there. They don't even have a discussion forum. I foolishly bought Gladius on there and have slowly bought all the DLC over time on their platform because of that first foolish decision.

I have like 125 hours in this awesome game but feel a bit of selfhatred every time I launch it and its not through Steam.

RIP the dream.

I'm sure GOG has improved, but my general view is that GOG is great for old classics, but Steam is still your best bet for games still in development (not necessarily Early Access, but a game still receiving updates, new content, and expansions) as it seems to get updates much quicker. I also am not a big fan of the Epic Game Store, not for any reasons of loyalty to Steam, but even if a game does still receive regular updates on the EGS, you'll never get useful patch/update descriptions.

If it bothers you that much, just slowly rebuy it all again on steam. The base game especially goes on sale frequently. I had the same problem with Stronghold and Stronghold: Crusader and just ended up grabbing both on Steam as well.

I try to buy more games on GOG, just because Steam has had its hayday and I like to support competition when little exists. GOG has come a long way from where it was ten years ago.

It aint the same without getting those sweet dopamine hits from steam achievements

+1

I always buy from GOG when I can, if only for the fact that they don't put DRM nonsense in their games. I've bought all of the Gladius stuff on GOG, including the new Aeldari DLC. Never had a problem with anything.

Quoting for truth.

+1 from me as well

I got Gladius on Steam first because of whatever sale or bundle it was in at the time when I wanted to buy it, but in general I prefer GOG. Also getting DRM free installers just "feels" nice ... and in case present day platforms fail it's probably much more future-proof.

The worst thing that happened to me with GOG (though it was entirely on the developer) was when a game I bought there implemented mod support, but exclusively handled that via steam workshop. I still feel like punching that dev.

The modsystem that factorio uses works perfectly. It doesn't matter which platform you use. Very clever. That's why I play factorio more nowday's. Even Craftworld Aeldari cannot change that because it's more of the same. I atleast hoped for a map editor. I even would pay €2-4 more. Now I am waiting for more interesting content.

Factorio is a niche product and so is Gladius. But the amount of mods for factorio are almost unlimited. The Workshop is a dead end for modders unless the game is steam only.
