Inexpensive, downloadable, and DRM free games are what I always wanted. In addition, GOG keeps a store of all the games I own and I can download them multiple times.
This is exactly the service that I would imagine other gamers would want, as well. It seems almost petty to torrent when this is available.
- scaryclam 7y agoNot to mention that the copy of the game you get from GOG is more likely safe to run, than something pirated from a torrent.
- bo1024 7y agoI think you're supporting the parent poster's point: Given that there are a number of petty people out there, GOG may be hoping those kinds of folks will just torrent instead of buy+refund.
- jfkebwjsbx 7y agoInexpensive, why? I really do not want a world like mobile gaming where every game is free and designed to make you addicted to buy virtual coins. Games cost a lot of money to make.
- starving_autist 7y agoI think games cost a lot of money to make profitable (i.e. appeal to the standards of most people). Even if all professional game designers/programmers/artists stopped getting paid and quit, people would still make and enjoy free games, and they would probably much better than whatever generic crap is greenlight by publishers. So I don't believe that the artistic value nor the quality of video games depends on the success video game industry, In fact I would say they are orthagonal to each other.
- jfkebwjsbx 7y agoI do believe the best indie games are way better than the best AAA games (gameplay wise). But all of them are commercial. In other words, there is no non-commercial game that I would consider the best at anything. There are mods that are better than the games themselves, but making the base game is what costs money and nobody does for free.
