Fuck gog. if I need a game to live forever I pirate.
I think you’ve missed the point.
Yes, they’re looking to continue selling older titles and your point is that pirating / torrenting is free, but GoG are ensuring the game will actually run on a modern machine - the pirated ones will have problems (not even covering the potential malware ridden ones)
I’ve been there, done it, got the t-shirt, the t-shirt faded, got ripped and is now a rag somewhere… this is a good move by GoG.
I love that they have Ultima 4 available for free. I spent SO many hours in that world. The “what kind of person are you” value judgment questions at the beginning were remarkably heavy for introspective teenage me.
This is good but can we please get a native Linux client?
Heroic Games Launcher is a pretty smooth experience on Linux for what it’s worth. It works well for GOG, Epic, and Amazon Games.
While Heroic is great and I love it, I would be nice to have official support from GOG.
The developers of Heroic are in regular contact with GOG employees, and they also get a cut from any GOG purchase made through the Heroic client.
[We still strive to get as many DRM-free titles as possible on GOG, regardless of when they were first released.]
This is why I will always buy a game on GOG rather than Steam if I can.
