Support GOG, support no DRM.
- wilg 5mo agoWhat games that are on GOG without DRM have DRM on, say, Steam? (Many Steam games have no DRM.)
- Uvix 5mo agoIt's impossible to know which Steam games are DRM-free since Steam games without DRM are not marked in the store. They have to all be assumed to have DRM.
- phatfish 5mo agoWell, all Steam games have Steam DRM? The Steam store will tell you if there is additional DRM on top of Steam, at least it has in the past. To the parents question, it is better to use GOG if you care about DRM. Sometimes the Steam version is qualitatively better because the publisher/dev has supported the Steam version with more updates. Often the updates do turn up on GOG, but it's possible there is a delay.
