An outstanding idea. GOG also does a great job of making old stuff work on new operating systems. Steam might not have to do much, if anything, to add these games. Other than a opening a spot in the store and take in the fists full of money they could make. A lot of the over-30 crowd, myself included, love returning to games from "back then" and reliving a great classic.
A+ idea. Hope they do it.
They could do a steamworks version and a drm free version so their customers have access to both platform for the price of 1.
Not even for a truckload of money? What if they could expand their clientbase tenfold? Triple their best sales month?
There's an idea.
It'd be great for all of us and I'd root it on. However CD Projekt has never been one to sell out.
From a business perspective, it might make sense. GOG does a great job making older games run. The fact that I can still play Zork on a Windows 8 machine is proof of that. Connecting those older games to a busy Steam Community seems like a winner. Instead of having older games get pushed out the back of the Steam Store, they get sent to GOG. Maybe we have a "Featured GOG Game of the Week" too.
There is plenty of upside to GOG and Steam holding hands.
Still, I have to repsect their stance on DRM. Just this week, we've seen an example of how bad DRM can get with EA and SimCity.
Devlopers and Publishers would have to aprove of the game being sold twice for the same ammount of money as well as to allow gog to sell Steam copies of a game.
That is the biggest hurdle, and I can't seem them doing it. Most people would get both keys/copies, keep the Steam one and give the one away.
The idea is nice for the consumer, but horrible for a buisness (possible exluding Steam and GOG).
If CD Projekt wouldn't do it, why do I see The Witcher 2 in the Steam Store? Is that a different version than what GOG offers?
PS: Look! A post from me without the h-word. It's amazing what happens when talking with someone who can clearly express themselves like you've just done.
Hear hear! Someone who actually knows what he's talking about.
Anyway, I don't see GOG co-partnering with Steam either simply because they've built their image around DRM-free now, they even backed off from calling themselves Good Old Gaming. No-DRM is really what sets them apart as it is.
That said, Steam doesn't have to partner themselves with GOG to get those games. It's becoming increasingly clear that even the GOG enhanced versions can make it to other retailers, like the D&D games on GG for instance. It just requires the publisher to have the right contract with GOG (one that retains control over any enhanced copy of 'their' game). It seems more publishers are starting to do it lately. Apart from some exclusivity period to GOG at the start perhaps I imagine more and more GOG enhanced games will be coming to other retailers in the long run.
Thank you for explaining the differences -- between the two business groups and the two versions of The Witcher 2.
While I think the business and legal details could be worked out, there's really no avoiding CDP / CDP Red / GOG's anti-DRM stance. Perhaps that's a good thing.
Almost you got it right but my idea is different (and more profitable).
What I'm saying is to allow buying GOG titles through Steam, if you don't like to
1. buy on GOG
2. download
3, cliiiiick on installer
4. press next, agree, next, next, finish
5. wait for it...
6. wait for it...
7. click start
8. click all programs
9. click game's icon
and instead
1. Buy
2. let it auto-install
3. click play in your Steam library
-OR-
Buy DRM-free version directly on GOG.
Plus, steam games DON'T HAVE TO use Steam's DRM. I know about several titles that I've bought on Steam which works with Steam off and connection severed, including Towns, Spectraball and others. So that game is on Steam doesn't mean it need to use DRM.
PLUS, Steam DRM is so unobtrusive that it doesn't affect gameplay or other activities, unless you are in amazon jungle where there's no internet at all.
