Basically what's going on on steam for years now.
I hate that there's no way to buy boxed editions. I'm using Linux and the only games I can still play (or run within wine) on my not-gamer hardware are the games I bought before steam existed.
Nowadays every publisher tries to push their own shitty platform, and they regularly don't work, are shut down or sold to someone else...including the "allowance" to play games.
On these platforms, you don't own a copy of a game. You own a license to download it, temporarily. And that's what I hate about DRM. It made everything worse. Nowadays if a company is broke I can't play their games anymore. But I can still play the old Westwood Studio games because I have a physical copy.
- nicolas_t 4y agoBoth GOG and humble bundle sell some DRM free games. I do dislike the push to DRMs and online platforms but at least there are still some alternatives and I try to only buy from DRM free sources.
- stonemetal12 4y agoSteam sells some DRM free games. Steam leaves the DRM question up to the developer\publisher of the game.
