If you want to buy games then buy it on gog if its a pricematch or cheaper than steam. Only if its drm free, otherwise theres not really any benefit, at least steam has the mod workshop and shieeet.

Pirating will always win out doebeit

It's good to own games yourself, but for some games like Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas the GOG versions are a bit more annoying to set up for mods.

Aryan. I hate the fact that normies and retards are praising Steam and kissing the ground that Gaben walked on all the fucking time. Steam has a shitty game policy where you don't own anything and WILL take away a game just because, and the Steam client is an outdated shitty version of Chromium. Valve's hardware is great, but their software is horrible to use.
GOG is fine if you want to get old gemmy games for 5 bucks. Piracy still wins, but if you want to "support muh heccin developers!" then GOG is the only one that allows you to own your files and doesn't cuck you over. Piracy still wins doebeit.

I can play steam games on an android handheld only because gaben decided to do so.
Of course I'll kiss the ground where he walked.

That's a whatever-esque idea. Every digital gaming store is run by jews and fags, you never see one where faggotry is banned.

As I said, their hardware is great like the Steam Deck (not counting the cube as it's overpriced), but the software FORCES you to use Steam for everything. Just because they support some SNCA chink android handheld doesn't mean that the service doesn't sucks ass.

Not SteamOS. Maybe you're just daft?

It's just less cumbersome, you can still do shit outside the steam ecosystem, it's just gonna be a bigger waste of time.

I actually just realized how much of a retard I am for buying more than 70 games on Steam for 7 years. I really do not own any of the stuff that I bought there, and the idea of Steam getting shut down and losing all my shit that I've been buying for years makes me realize how stupid I was for setting all my money on fire for basically nothing.

Piracy really is the way I guess.

What games are they? You could buy them again on GOG or pirate the installers if you don't want to do that.
>>75567
GOG also has sales, but you should definitely keep yourself in check. You don't need another game that will sit there and rot, as most people play around 5 or so of their favorites and the rest is collecting digital dust. Either get something that you WILL play, or get rid of it/never buy it at all.

To add to the last point, if you want to buy a game and not be disappointed about it, you should get the PHYSICAL release. Not the ones where the disc is a Steam installer and you get a code in the box (That's how I got my Steam account as a caca), but the ones that have the WHOLE GAME ON DISC (or cartridge if you're a console cuck). You will actually OWN the damn thing, and you can actually back the files up as an iso or something similar with the right tools.

Not really. A PlayStation disc is still a borderline lisence and is also tied to that console unless a jailbreak is available but 99 percent of people will not bother with this and instead continue being zogslaves, doubly, discs are easily damaged. I believe that physical media should be left in the past as the GOG solution is the penultimate way to own a video game. You literally get an exe installer and that is it, this allows you to play it on almost anything, even mobile devices with emulators such as winlator, on top of this, pc games have a slew of graphics options so that if your hardware is too weak, simply lower the resolution and graphics settings. A GOG exe can be copy and pasted to the moon and back, shared with every soul in the world and stored on a simple USB stick, ssd, HDD you name it for physical back up.

Physical media creates untold and unknown amounts of plastic waste, discs are tied to cd, dvd, blu ray players and consoles whilst an mp4 can play on virtually everything.

But you must always pirate unless… >>75556. However only if it is on GOG, steam exclusive kikes can ack it.

Actually true. I was mostly thinking of old ass PC games that came in huge boxes, this thread is about Good Old Games after all.
>doubly, discs are easily damaged.
You can damage it if you abuse the thing. Under normal circumstances it'll get scratched at best.
>I believe that physical media should be left in the past as the GOG solution is the penultimate way to own a video game.
<You vil own nothing und be happy just like I intended, my child.

Depends what game.
>Physical media creates untold and unknown amounts of plastic waste
Technically more storage is also untold amounts of waste. It's also physical and it also degrades over time. Best part is that e-waste is even harder to deal with than plastic, and for that reason no one wants to deal with it.
>discs are tied to cd, dvd, blu ray players and consoles whilst an mp4 can play on virtually everything.
I literally wrote that you can make an .iso image of the disc to have digitally.

buying discs, even on the playstation, is way better then purchasing them online. For context I took my ps4 out of storage since I needed a heckin dvd player and since I sold all of my old ps4 games, all I had was the games tied to the dead PSN account my dad made when I was 8, which I obviously didnt have access to since it signs you out after a while.
I had games whcih costed god knows how much money with hundreds of hours spent, whcih was basically my childhood, completely inaccessible all because i didnt have a password. This is the issue with having something as valuable as video games being online only, YOU DONT OWN ANYTHING! At least with physical copies you can reuse them and play offline, as soon as you forget a password or lose your internet access, that game you spent 50 pounds on becomes worthless.

Also discs are not easily damaged, its not something as delicate as a vinyl as people treat it. They also last insanely long meaning you can have CD's or DVDs from the 1990s that can still be used in the 2030s.

I dont mind movies or music being tied to streaming (they werent worth much anyway) but videogames is something else. Games cost too much money and require too much time to consume for them to be online only
