They have no incentive to care. This is a prime example of a monopoly run a-muck. There's arguably no real competitor for them, so why improve?

- em3rgent0rdr 11y agofor releasing games with DRM with easy to install manner, maybe there isn't a significant competitor atm. But you can go to humblebundle.com/store and buy a lot of the same games DRM-free
- CaptSpify 11y agohumble-bundle has ~3100 games on it (that I counted. I couldn't find a solid source anywhere). Steam has about 2x as many (source: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/There-How-Many-Games-Steam-81967.html http://www.cinemablend.com/games/There-How-Many-Games-Steam-...) IME, the steam games have much better quality, so yeah, I'd have to say they aren't really a worthwhile competitor
- dragontamer 11y agoGood Ol' Games deserves a big mention as well. The entire library is DRM-free.
- dogma1138 11y agoI love GOG but GOG galaxy is a clusterfuck and their library is made up of mostly (very) old games (go figure) ;) I bought The Witcher 3 on steam just because it's better with updates (GOG had so many TW3 updates issues, I got a GOG key from NVIDIA as a Titan X owner and it was just fubar). Steam is also a social platform, most of my friends are on steam which is their biggest competitive advantage which makes most other platforms kinda pointless as a platform DRM free or not.
- sotojuan 11y agoI really like GOG since I mostly play older PC games anyway and don't care for the social aspects of Steam or stuff like trophies. GOG is just games.
