GoG is dying help

GoG is dying help

Not my problem

if you buy a game, you should have access to(and ownership of) the game on every platform it's (and will be) available one forever. anything else is jewish.

I would go back to buying all my games there if they didnt actively hate Linux

I would think it's probably always dying. Shop like this just can't live these days. Whoever owns it would just have to be able and happy to bleed money on simply keep it open.

But I just downloaded 3 installers from them yesterday

Linux is trash

Worked last week, both the galaxy and manual downloads.

owned, imagine thinking you owned games on this lmao

On it, I will exclusively pirate the games available on GOG.

????

So if you buy a digital copy of a game who provides you with a physical copy of it for a platform where it's only available in physical form?

They better not, I have a lot or games on there that I don't want to lose.

Also, hurry the fuck up and put the MechWarrior series, AvP2, and Freelancer on there.

I've only played wegs recently.
Not sure are they sold on gog, might support them that way.

Help us goy! We are just a business that takes old games and sells them to you completely broken and with a shitty launcher!

No
I might as well just pirate everything

I have a lot or games on there that I don't want to lose.

Then download them?

OP is a jew and wishes it did

You do realize that a majority of the games on GoG are DRM free right? Like that is the whole draw of GoG that once you download them you can just keep it on your hardrive and play them to your hearts content even without internet.

Why can't this place ever agree on what is jewish behavior? My kosher bagels are getting cold.

being retarded enough to use gog galaxy or actually buy from gog

not using the free gog games version and just having the game foldered for offline play at all times

shit I'm gonna work on my RE3 today, y'all niggas reminded me

"ugh, this PC game from gog that was released in 1995 won't display properly and the menus don't work on my windows 11 shitbox."

Do you need GOG to cup your balls as well?

were you born yesterday?
jew = anything I don't like
just like how woke = anything I don't like that can be construed as leftist/liberal/progressive

I've got no problem running games, and have used wine & friends for nearly two decades lol. GoG appeals to me (a lot) for their anti-DRM and preservationist attitudes. But CDPR also has fairly strong anti-Linux attitudes as well. Just checked and actually kinda surprised that GoG Galaxy even still doesn't have a Linux build. So yeh, nowadays I just use Steam

i'm a parasite

damn dude are you poor? You really can't afford 2.50 dollars on buying morrowind huh? You'd rather leech off companies that serve their customers until they go bankrupt and we all will have to go to the steamjew to loan games huh?

What's life as a mooching piece of shit?

dying

gog has never turned a profit. they spend way more on getting games out of legal limbo to ever get that back.

You do realize that a majority of the games on GoG are DRM free right?

No I can't read and I am a Zoomer.

They should be subsidized by the polish government

a system they made a big fuss over and yet seem to be ignoring in practice

That system has been ignored by them since its original inception ages ago. They don't have money or aren't willing to spend it on games people have been requesting for more than a decade already.

but muh RE

Yes, a rather questionable play on their part considered they've done jack shit for all these years and even dropped the "good old games" moniker.

I pick up a couple of games on sale every now and then. I use it for retro games. I wished i had comitted to GOG before Steam. Can't undo it now. Can only buy games when i can and if they're not on Valve's store/just work better on GOG.

And my advice to GOG is to try and get more of the GOG wishlist off the ground. I will continue using your service, it doesn't matter whether i buy an indie game or not. I'll keep coming back if you remain true to that mission. GOG galaxy and Steam are the only game launchers i have on my computer.

Pull an epic by buying Croc exclusivity dooming the prospective of Croc 3 getting made

Spends the cut from game sales shitting up Anon Babble with shills instead of making your service better

You get what you fucking deserve

I would help, but I'm not really in the business of buying media anymore

What's life as a mooching piece of shit?

pretty damn good. plus i can spend that 2.50 on a sodipop while i play my FREE game

GoG, just like HumbleBundle, started out with noble intentions and then quickly became no different than any other platform.

I'm a homeowner, watch your tone around me.

It's not really. They've just been lackluster for years

Good.
I deleted my account at the start of the year.

no different

GoG gibes me drm free installers and doesn't force me to use online launcher and force update my games tho.

They need to start whittling away at the dreamlist. Start adding the games people want. Add some that you can't buy anymore like Prey (2006) and Wolfenstein 2009.

They should go free to play bro soo many Kino games from the past are not running on windows 11 man fuck microjeets.

I pirate most games but I just bought Mullet Madjack on GOG because I liked it so much and am going to replay it

I'm playing a game that I bought from GOG right _now_. I'm doing my part.

HEY, THE GAME YOU BOUGHT ON STEAM MONTHS AGO THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN ADVERTISE WAS COMING TO GOG IS NOW ON GOG!

That's how they lost out on me buying games on their store multiple times in a row now.

how don't you, beside the reason you don't

If you can't sell it, you don't own it.

They apparently need to unfuck their updating system because every small dev I've ever talked to about getting such-and-such new patch that the Steam version has almost always ends in "Well GoG has this long process etc etc..." that amounts to it not being worth pushing an update until you absolutely must. That, and a lot of games just don't show up on GoG period. Make no mistake, I want to buy everything on GoG or Itch because I want offline installers. Get this shit streamlined so I don't have to keep going back to Steam for some games. Of fuck someone, anyone at Valve? You like to talk big about listening to customer desires. Offline installers. I don't want your client; you have a website where I can buy shit. I don't want achievements. I want games. Let me buy and download games, and whatever market share you're losing to the competition will be yours.

lol who cares if you can sell it? Its yours to play forever, and thanks to piracy anyone else's.

The question was whether you own your games, the answer is no.
And I'd like to sell like half of my library, even if it's like 50 cents per title.

Shouldn't have started censoring Japanese games, then. That's one of the few audiences they can draw on since Steam has a hate boner for anything otaku.

So it's worse by every metric.

Obviously ownership isn't defined by ability to sell it
By that logic if no one would ever buy something from you, like if people can just get it for free, then you don't own it

No, because I'm not a retarded fucking dick sucking zoomer and back my shit up

B-BUH WHAT IF YOUR HOUSE BURNS DOWN OR YOUR DRIVES AND BACKUP DRIVES EXPLODE

well, I guess my fucking cds or blurays would also die. Zoomers are so fucking braindead and retarded it is angering to even interact with you for a few seconds online.

CDPR also has fairly strong anti-Linux attitudes as well.

They don't want to help Valve encroach the vidya market even more.
This is also why I stopped buying shit on GOG.

By your ability to legally put it up for sale. It doesn't matter if anyone wants to buy it.
This is, in fact, the definition of ownership.

being forced to log into steam to play my games is good!

LMAO

???
This is some Tim Sweeny-tier logic.
Valve went all in for Linux simply because they want to get away from M$ and their bullshit, and rightfully so.

there was a point in time in the past 20 years when I was without internet access

What's life in India like, Sanjay?

Steam allows literal pornography.

No, sorry, thats not it. The point of games is to play them, not sell.

LOL Steamie can't afford dinner because he can't sell his games. I eat a whole cup of rice a week, poor Steamie.

Too fucking bad, maybe next time dont engage in progressive politics

Yes pcs should be the only platform

sad cope
100% chance my PC is more expensive than yours, I'm still not retarded enough to buy on steam and be forced to run their DRM launcher 24/7

Ok? There are several porn games on gog as well. Isn't what he was talking about.

5090

That's not even a real model.

Why are you trying to switch the topic to something that was never claimed?
The question was whether you own games on gog, the answer was stated, as well as the reasoning.
You are free to state your definition of ownership and people will be free to agree or disagree with it.

ITT: steamtroons

how much is steam paying you to shill, ranjeet?

GOG WON.
MICROSOFT WON.
EPIC GAMES WON.
STEAM LOST.

is 295k profit really that bad?

If there's porn on GoG, why would you need to censor anything?

They unironically should. What the fuck does Poland even export besides game licenses, through GOG?

Probably the same reason there's porn on steam but games still get censored/rejected occasionally
There's no actual rules in place and it's decided solely by whichever employee happens to be reviewing the game at the time

if they didnt actively hate Linux

Even the "Windows-only" games usually run perfectly fine just using WINE.
(Maybe use Bottles for Proton-support, if you run into trouble anyway.)
The Linux-support could be better, but it's practically no problem as is, if you know your shit.

Give the game away then, that's allowed. Bam, you own it if that's really all you care about.

The same reason why blacked threads here are allowed to last for hours while anything else porn related gets deleted. Faggot retard troon mods infest everything.

Yeah and I also became the king of England and have six wives

Give the game away then, that's allowed.

How?

Well, then download all of it and save it locally.
This is one of the great things about GOG: You are completely independent on the continued existence of their service.

Any of the multitudes of ways you have to transfer data? Fucking idiot

Give a singular example.

A thumb drive? ffs

Carrier pidgeon

Login in GoG in Lutris or Heroic, install your game and enjoy. Simple as.
You can also run the installer of the game in Lutris without loging in.

morse code

Yeah, "Western" pornography, or WEGs. Meanwhile, they've rejected numerous PG Japanese games that used to be sold on consoles. Tokyo Clanpool was one of them. Dungeon Travelers 2 was another. GoG used to be the next common stop for these games that get rejected from Steam, but now they're doing the same thing.

I don't want to download all that shit.

Then why buy it in the first place?

Then you deserve to have it all taken away.

Concession accepted.

I checked apple.com and I don't see that listed. Fake and gay.

I do concede that you are a retard

daddy didn't give you attention today?

There are a lot of games I do buy that I would buy on there. But for some reason the devs always shit out the steam version and then wait a few weeks to release it ong gog.
Like wow thank you for relasing it on gog now that I 100% weeks ago!
Dumarses.

I already won, no need to embarrass yourselves further.

This anon isn't me, I'm sorry I don't know much about computers. The only files I've ever sent were through discord.

GoG actually checks updates for shit. On steam you can literally upload bitcoin miners and volvo will only give a shit once some external outrage happens.

You had a genuine answer too, why'd you ignore it?

HUH?

Where?

ms and their bullshit

Like? Windows is the only platform that doesn't charge 30% cut for everything you buy while using it.

This happens with a single shovelware game nobody would ever actually buy that's had a max of 4 people playing ever

but seemingly every game journalist was tipped off to it

Not suspicious at all.

You're talking to a steamnigger who has spent over $10000 on counter strike and tf2 "skins" and lootboxes

Right above the silly ones? It was linked to the wrong post but you're not blind and not really retarded enough to need an actual format of data transfer listed anyway

I would give a shit if they kept a catalogue that rivaled steams, but alast, they dont. Great idea; poor execution.

I'm white.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and the chance to not make a fool of yourself again.
What you are describing is called creating counterfeit copies and illegal.
It is not giving away because no transfer of ownership occurs, and the game is still in my account after the fact.

Not suspicious at all.

It isn't, imagine being a fucking 'games journalist' and seeing a relevant story that isn't just "Flimbo Bimblo 2 announced for Switch!" or "Black Woman Rage: Online has its servers shut down after 30 days". I'd jump at the story too. Also usually just one outlet hears about a story and the 1000 others just paste the article into chatgpt to re-word it and post it on their own site.

But the piece of paper says

Yep, licence pedantry. Fuck off, jew. I will play the game and I will give it to whoever I like, thats owning. I don't care how upset it makes you.

Great idea; poor execution

Kind of like the Atelier games

No it isn't, by the very definition. Yo are arguing your feefees over facts.

Correct.

who tf gives a shit about these lolipedo games?? are you actually mentally ill? I'd ban them from everywhere if I could, I don't want my gf and nephews seeing this vile shit on video game stores

You are the one who worships the law and the paper. I can play the game, I can give it away, I own it.

Do you think the first caveman couldn't own anything because there was no law or paper to say what things he owned? Nonsense.

The video game industry does not need incessant moralfags like you trying to control what people can buy based on your retarded anti-Japanese biases. This was already settled in the 90s. Fuck off!

You are so beyond and completely shameless, it'd be impressive if it wasn't so revolting.

Your argument is african tier "I shoplifted this gum so I own it now".
You might as well pirate games, you will have the same level of ownership (by your definition) but it will cost less.
I'm only interested in what is legal, feel free to live by your caveman code but don't try to educate others on legal definitions.

It's not an anti-Japanese bias, I play a fair amount of Japanese games like Resident Evil and Elden Ring. It's the lolicon stuff that I find incredibly disgusting and vile, and I'm pretty sure that it will be banned very soon even in Japan itself. Would love to see your face when that happens lmao

Okay sweaty, your 'job' is very important.

capcom isn't remotely japanese anymore

go back to

Yes, we know you only care about the paper kike. Just don't sook when no one else does, and we just play and trade our games and have fun without you

jej

Wait, I think I've misunderstood you are you just straight up THAT retarded?

i didn't know soccer moms visit Anon Babble

shit cpu
shit brand 5090

You defend always-online DRM
You are conquered cattle

It's not an anti-Japanese bias

Moe is Japanese cultural expression and has been for decades if not longer. Far more so than the games you listed which were clearly made with western tastes in mind. Your side's arguments are just hand-wringing over a unique artstyle and using retarded shit like head shape and eye size to argue that a character is underage regardless of anything in the setting itself and then moral panic about children being harmed against all real world evidence. You wanna talk about "disgusting and vile"? People like you fucking disgust me more than almost anything! I can hardly enjoy my cute anime girl games any more because people like you got into the major companies and started putting your faggotry into policy. Now even Teen-rated material like Neptunia is becoming hard to get because "the head and eyes are too big, therefore it's LITERALLY PEDOPHILIA and EVERYONE who enjoys it is complicit in child sex crimes". No, it's not, and it's not hard to just SIT DOWN and SHUT THE FUCK UP about things you clearly don't understand, so why don't you start doing it!? Your morals are worth nothing if all they amount to is banning niche subcultural material while contributing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the prevention of real child sex crimes! The very definition of virtue signalling.

when those niggers release a linux client.
i just need save syncing and reliable downloads, they don't even need to invest into software like valve does, but they really don't get their audience. they need to employ like one linux autist.

but it's practically no problem as is, if you know your shit.

That's a pretty insidious way of trying to dismiss that they have no service at all.

girls with developed bodies that just graduated magic highschool

lolipedo

You are mentally ill. Their visual ages range from 14 to 20, and none of those are loli.

they should start up a Patreon as a way to successfully keep their shit running and funded but they won't.

It's not about that, it's about being forced to use it. Also, they force game updates, breaking mods and shit. I want to control my software, not to be controled by it.

"Visual age" is a bullshit metric anyway.

"OH NO, THIS CHARACTER IS EXACTLY 4.9 HEADS TALL. THINK OF THE CHILDREN WHO COULD BE HARMED IF WE DON'T ADD ONE MORE INCH TO HER HEIGHT!"

Poles ruined it. Truly the vermin of Europe.

Your point was that "they hate Linux". I argued against that in good faith. Now you are shifting goal posts to "they don't support Linux".
If you buy a game to use it on a platform, they don't officially support, that's on you to solve, yeah.
Anon Babble used to be able to get shit running on its own and laughed at the stupid normalfags. Are you trying to become one of them?

Buy game on GOG

Download installer

Burn to a CD or DVD

Congratulations you now own a physical copy of the game

GoG went downhill when they introduced regional pricing and localized interfaces.
And most of their releases are no longer good old games but indie slop. And they keep redefining what DRM free is supposed to mean.

Lmao, you could put installer into a CD and sell it on the flea market, it's just that even boomer and alphooners know how to pirate or they will just buy it nornally, so what's the point of even selling it.
Having installers backed up means you own it.

Burn to a CD or DVD

in 2025? do you still use DC++?

Your point was that

I'm not that guy

"They hate linux"

Kind of arguable if they won't put their package manager on it.

Linux devs hate Linux

Regional is a problem everywhere, with how cost of living differs.
More releases is fine, don't need to buy them.
Dunno what you mean about DRM, all games I have there don't have it.

It demonstrably does not, read the rest of the thread.

It does in peactical sense, not law bullshit.

Yes in a practical sense, if you don't like the price of something, you can just steal it.
We white people are interested in what is actually legal.

You can find a packs of recordable cds at places like thrift stores for like 5 dollars easily. Not making backups of stuff stored on your hard drive is just stupid

dooming the prospective of Croc 3 getting made

You want modern developers to make another Croc?

No I want the same developers who are still at argonaut to make Croc 3.

who are still at argonaut

FPBP

Their installer is a PITA to use Wine or Proton because of the way WINE/Proton works.

It's funny they crow about having Capcom's shitty 1990-2000's PC ports while Steam has the remakes and better ports.

Why yes, I want checkboarded Breath of Fire 4 compared to just emulating the PSX version, here's $10!

I normally just wait, even though I'm still waiting now for a lot of games, no god of war rangarock.

Some of us prefer the original Resident Evil games over the remakes,it's just nice to have them available somewhere other than the PS3 now. I'm fine if people like the remakes it's important to keep the old versions around as well

Damn, payment processors started threatening them I presume?

considering they were trying to expand and subsequently had to fire a bunch of people I'd say yes
right now they are in a "back to basics" mode and we will see how long that lasts

Why yes, I want checkboarded Breath of Fire 4 compared to just emulating the PSX version, here's $10!

There's a market though for ethical people that don't want to go to hell or prison for "emulating" (stealing) the PlayStation 1 version. But yeah, I guess if you're an unethical scumbag then stealing will always be "cheaper" (just don't think about your soul).

You a few years later, "NOOO WHY DRM IN MY GAMES"

Damn son, you big mad.

You need media literacy if that's what you took out of that.

They keep picking and choosing stuff off the Dreamlist at random.

They're not even going after stuff they already have GOG versions for like Cryostasis where they just need to license it again.

Did something happen or did you make this thread for no reason? I buy all my games there.

Video games are not something you actually need.

Damn right it is. All GoG games are free.

I would have bought Crow Country on GOG if there were any hints that it was coming eventually. You can never be sure with indie games and at some point I was 'fuck it, I'm just gonna buy it on steam then'.

Is this goo enough?

Dunno what you mean about DRM, all games I have there don't have it.

They very briefly sold the most recent Hitman game with it's DRM intact, which pretty meant that CDProjekt was fully ready to give up on the whole 'DRM-free' selling point of their store and become like every other storefront if it meant keeping the lights on. They rightfully got chewed out by their community (thought they're were a lot of suspicious day 1 accounts white knighting the decision to sell a game with DRM) for this and they eventually pulled it from the store.

poland hates men now. why even care about gog

I'm not hearing a no....

But I don't sell my video games. I never have since I was a teenager and ended up buying those games back.

actively hate Linux

Not catering to irrelevant Linux gaymers isn't the same as actively "hating" them.

And what if you didn't have breakfast this morning?

Blud thinks he's Diddy.

Does it really matter? Basically all genuinely good games that will ever exist have already been made and they can all be found for free on rom sites and gog-games.

Are you fucking retarded? Windows is acting literally by how we define a virus

Sends telemetry

Turn it off

Restart

It starts sending again

Same goes for weird ass services

Imagine running an .exe that turns itself on after restart, runs in background and collects ur information.. I got a feeling you won't be really okay with that

care about platform features

solution: Buy from Steam

Why would I pay a tax by buying the game on a platform with less features (GOG)?

don't care about platform features

solution: Pirate the GOG version for free

Why would I pay when pirates get the same experience for free?

You not being able to administrate your OS/network isn't my problem.

Then I would wish I did. Same thing here. I'm not going to get rid of any of my games unless I can back them up digitally on my PC with emulators that can play them at least as well as actual hardware.

but what about what *I* want

I wipe my dick with what you want.

It is my destiny to eventually go to Linux.

Windows is acting literally by how we define a virus

...

That's malware, but people use it interchangably.
Windows isn't specifically a Virus until it specifically attacks other computers on the network by replicating itself to them and the closest it does to that is intentionally destroying bootloaders if you're dualbooting linux

is the update for project wingman that has the new cloud system out yet on gog or not it's been like 4 years since i bought that game and i've been waiting for it

GoG is dying help

GOG is doing fine. I've been shopping only on GOG for the past 8 years, zero issues. Also OP some of us lurk Anon Babble a lot. You keep making this thread.

You are mixing up "virus" and "worm" there.

eventually

So never.

Whatever works for you. I personally like other types of games on GOG.

Demon Lord Reincarnation was such a disappointing blobber.

Worms punch through your network to start immediately executing on machines live.
Viruses replicate themselves and infect files to spread throughout a network.

They apparently need to unfuck their updating system

Any dev that complains about the GOG update system is a fag.

Larian updates BG3 on GOG the same day they update Steam

Owlcat updates Pathfinder on GOG the same day they update it on Steam

Cyberpunk 2077 same thing

wtf are you smoking
proton is just another flavor of wine
wine is fucking crucial to linux gaming

Ok so you are retarded and don't know how anything works.

I really liked GoG until they made GoG Galaxy.

I really like GOG Galaxy for new games that get a ton of fixes(Pathfinder:Kingmaker cough cough)

ok, i will send my prayers

So the BG3 hater is a bot that enters any thread you mention BG3 in?

Woke up to a few (you)s
I know how to use Linux. See >Not catering to irrelevant Linux gaymers isn't the same as actively "hating" them.
Correct. CDPR actively hates Linux. Back in the day they promised a Linux native release of TW2, but instead released it with a wrapper (not Wine) that was dogshit. Linux users were rightfully a bit upset. CDPR has *actively*, in their social media and their actions, hated Linux ever since that backlash.
phoronix.com/news/MTY5ODM

I love GOG

Wah!

What are we going to do on the torrent?

Post more gogchan. One with drm condom.

Here's a better article about the backlash's effect on CDPR. Kinda hard to find stuff about it now. I didnt learn about any of this until after my preorder for TW3 didnt come out on Linux. Last game I ever preordered.
gamingonlinux.com/2017/07/the-witcher-3-didnt-come-to-linux-likely-as-a-result-of-the-user-backlash-from-the-witcher-2/

But GOG includes fixes for most the games they sell to give them widescreen support and let them run on modern hardware/software

I thought it would arrive eventually and just waited and was rewarded with a lower price and a drm free version, I understand why you'd be annoyed, I'm guessing these people expect people to double dip, I'd consider it depending on the game, I just like having some kind of ownership over my games.
I'd triple dip on some games if someone developed a custom PC physical format and started selling them in big boxes
youtube.com/watch?v=END_PVp3Eds
This guy gets it right and then ruins it, the floppy esque design is superior aesthetically.

Pot more gogchan. One where she's heavily pregnant

this, it's the 2020s, people need to get used to not owning their games

wegs =/= eroge

they had fears that they could get screwed over by microsoft at some point the same way epic was getting screwed by apple, and that they might just lock down everything behind the microsoft store at some point.
so they made their own distro that they could put on steamdeck that they have control over.

irc it was the chinese government

Coinsidering the amount of nickel and diming going on right now, big box pc releases would be some horseshit like limited run games.
Overpriced releases that are so limited in numbers that you practically have no chance of getting anything that's even remotely popular.
