But it’s not practical without big games and to buy indie games there, even I do care about my library of games in the same place. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (2 children) GOG doesn't have DRM. But for the same reason it doesn't have regional pricing. And I ain't spending that much on games. 🤷♂️ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago GoG does have regional pricing in some countries.
