Yes I use GOG as my primary storefront, and through the years it has become increasingly popular. The main benefit of it is that all games are DRM free which means that you can play them without validation and in any computer at any time. You can imagine the benefit of that...

I'm kinda sick of steam to be honest, the community is incredibly toxic at times, I'm sick of games adding intrusive DRM spyware and basically not owning the games that I actually buy. Thankfully GOG has grown quite a lot and more and more publications are putting their games on steam from day one.

Oh that's awesome! i had no idea people where doing something about that.
i like steam because it feels like a hub for all things gaming at this point, if you really wanted to steam could replace your twitter, reddit, facebook, messenger ect...
maybe it's cause i've been a long time on steam that i love it so much,
but i really miss owning the games i buy and them working offline... ahh the good o'l days

Pretty much said my point for me.
Guy just wants it on GOG so there is no DRM so he can Pirate it...
This game is popular in the pirate crowd because it has some DRM they cant crack.

You are so stupid that it's painful - it's exactly because of the toxic people like you that I moved to GOG. The game is less than £15, why would I need to pirate the game?

Maybe you want to pirate it and that's why that was the first thing you thought of - that's called projection

Yeah that's pretty much my view - when you have a drm free copy the game is yours, just like when you had a physical copy of your game. You also don't need a launcher and can simply download the installers and again you don't have to deal with intrusive DRM. All in all I find GOG a lot more consumer friendly than steam and other platforms.

You can also see the guy that toxicity on steam that I was talking about, from this guy [RAID]Missionary which assumed that I wanted to pirate the game. It's this sort of childish mentality that you don't see a lot in gog forums for example.

to be fair game piracy does come to mind, it would be better for us as consumers to own the game but developers can't risk profits being lost just to make us more comfortable, if there is no perfect solution it's best to give the benefit of the doubt to the developers, some companies let you do your own thing like Valve and it's games, some don't like Rainbow 6 Seige, i stopped playing it because of how intrusive it is, you can get banned for cussing in any context, auto bans for the "N word" and there is no offline play.
companies like origin and ubisoft deserve that kick for having such poor business practices, but many games like these just work like that because, it's not like they will take it away from you for silly reasons... at leas i think so....

[Noodlez]

that's without getting started on Easy Anti-cheat... ugh... i hate games that use it

I think that it comes down to the decision by the developer - most games do end up being pirated, even if you use the best anti-cheat software available. It may be sooner, or later but they will eventually be pirated.

Games that release with only the steam protection will get pirated on day one, simple as that. I've done some checking and it appears that cloudpunk hasn't been cracked yet because it uses some weird DRM which uses online authentication. I don't know how long the tokens last but you would need to be authenticated before playing. This means also that there is little incentive to release it on gog which would remove that effective protection. When it gets cracked, because it will, then the dev may consider releasing it on gog. I'll be waiting.

The people that prefer to pirate the games very rarely end up buying them anyway so there is little loss there.

Anti cheat appears to do everything but actually stop cheaters. Battlefield 1 and 5 are riddled with cheaters, to the point where it's almost impossible to find a match without them. Even Fall guys has cheaters, despite having anti-cheat

[Terrapin]

If you want to play the game, buy it on Steam. I'm happy it is not on GoG and in the hands of pirates. The developers would be stupid to release it on GoG at this point.

Boo hoo, cry me a river. You "moved to GOG" but come here to post on the forums. Take a piss

You seriously need to chill it. Maybe he wants it for piracy, maybe he doesn't. Either way, the possibility that you are hating on someone for simply asking to be able to play a game off-line is still there. While I don't personally think getting rid of DRM would help me I could see how this game would be a ton of fun to play on a laptop on vacation. I could totally see enjoying this game on an airplane or in a place without internet. So please, for the love of god stop ostracizing someone for having a different choice of game platform. It's honestly like participating in the console war but somehow requires several less iq points which I didn't know was possible. Fix your attitude or go back to MW2 voice chat. His choice of platform is his business. With that said, I do agree that the developers should seriously consider the negative impact removing DRM would have on game sales before they even think about putting the game on other platforms.
