[–] boletus@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 years ago (5 children) Would be good to see gog get more popular. Fuck drm permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] MantidSys@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) You'd be surprised how many steam games have no DRM other than steam itself. And how easy it is to put in a replacement (open-source) dll that acts as a steam emulator and runs the games without steam. I'd say... pretty much every non-AAA game on steam can have DRM removed this way. It's such barebones DRM that I can't really find reason to be angry at it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Cool, but it's still DRM, contrary to GoG where you just download the installer and pass a pendrive around. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) There are games with no DRM at all on Steam as well, it's up to the developer.

So its not as clear cut as it looks on the surface. But I do wish steam promoted DRM Free games with a tag like they do gamepad support, family sharing, or steam workshop. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JulesTheModest@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (2 children) I like gog the site not the gog galaxy app. I always have to look too hard to start a game up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] gmr_leon@mstdn.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) @JulesTheModest Er...How do you mean? The Galaxy app has its issues, but I've not run into this one. Biggest issue I ran into was years back trying to point it to my existing directory of GOG games from before Galaxy to get it to recognize them without reinstalling them, but eventually I just decided to reinstall whenever I felt like playing them again (and uninstall from old location). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] exocrinous@startrek.website 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Wow, internet where you live must be great permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gmr_leon@mstdn.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's decent enough to consider it, I'll give you that.
