If a Game on steam will cost me 700rs the GOG will charge me 1400rs and since I am poor I just pirate the game. I ain't paying 700rs for that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago Cheers mate, still not a monopoly permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 months ago They used to have it but it cost them too much IIRC. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mlg@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 child) There was a funnier one with GOG enjoying itself in the corner and the complaining party being Epic lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago would be more fitting if epic was creepy guy trying to lure people in a van with candy permalink fedilink source parent [–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 child) Close, but also include the accusation coming from the ones on the left! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] deft@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 months ago Damn that's a good point.
