PSA the anti GoG and Steam fag aka OP is literally a fucking EpicdroneBlizzfagand he himself admitted that at sharty
>>736396798He made it up.
>>736396968Good enough for CNN.
This thread is a response to people in Resident Evil 1-3 Steam release threads realizing that the GOG versions are not only DRM-free but cheaper and asking why they should pay more for a downgrade.
>>736397061I'm not renting a license from GOG. I want to own my games on Steam where I can legally share them.
>>736397134I actually think Steam's family sharing feature is great (specifically for the parental controls that let grant my kids access to Spyro Reignited while denying them access to Agony and Hunie Pop and also limit their play time), but come on now.
>>736397134>I want to own my games on SteamYou don't own them on Steam either, you own a license to use the game for whatever period they allow you to.
>>736396475that's true of everything, even console physical
> buy "license" from gog> save launcher on back up drive> have access to game as long as I have the launcherBetter than any other options since physical PC games aren't a thing anymore
>>736398139this true of irl because the government can just kill you at any point
>>736398139>doctored pictureHow can I expect a name/tripfag to be honest?
>>736398349And even in an anarchist society with no government, you could be obliterated by a meteor or a bolt of lightning at any moment.You own nothing, really.
>>736396475>buy music>play it on your business without paying royalities>get suedThat's how it works everywhere m8. Owning something means you can use it for private use, not doing whatever you want.
>>736396208Kek!
>>736396869Why is the 'arty so fucking gay?
>>736398831they are retards who believes on le 4chin is contrarian memes from 9gag and hates this place
>>736398421>i-its doctored >cant post any actual proof how its fakelol
>>736395837show a single shred of evidence that shows they sell licenses
>>736396869PSA there are literally jannies that are steam shills, but its ok when they do it!
>>736396475>We give you ... [license] to use GOG services and to download ... and use GOG content.anon, that's a license to connect to their servers and download games. this has literally nothing to do with what they are selling and does not tell us whether what they are selling is a license or not.are you being retarded on purpose?
>>736399198>2013Are those jannies even still here?
>>736399198>2013Wow, it's fucking nothing!
>>736399198>2013>when the only fucking store against valve was fucking blizzard's battle.netThis retard exposed xhemself as a blizzdrone
>>736395837It is a shame there is no Linux client
>>736395837I think they're great. DRM is so shit>forced to admit they rent licenses, not sell gamesthat's every videogame sale. even physical games are licenses to play the game, you don't own the game. Just a physical piece of media that has the data of the game on the memory, and a license to play the game on that physical piece of media. That's how games work
>>736399392>>736399412>g-guiz trust me they left!!!Nope i got multiple bans for shitting on valve yet didn't get any bans for shitting on Nintendo, sony, etc
>>736395837Every time I bring this up that GOG does not give you the actual game they retort with, "w-well actually we own the installer so we kinda own it." it's very sad how they never read the ToS. You're buying a license and they can always revoke your license if they wanted to.In terms of preservation? Steam is literally never going to shut down. GOG? It's definitely up there that it's very likely they will shut down. So if you want TRUE preservation Steam is unironically the best place about it. They backup all of your games on their server for you and it's never shutting down.
>>736399729>they never read the ToS. You're buying a licenseyou should be able to cite it then, right? you can point to the exact line in the TOS that says what you're buying is a license, right? you can do it, right?
>Steam® has been around since I was born cuh they'd never shut down bro
>>736399729People get to wrapped up in the definition instead of the practical of what any of this shit means
Sing Soprano
>>736395837luv GOGluv steam'ate epic & modern console gamingsimple as
>>736399729When I buy my games on gog I can keep my installers and do whatever I want with them. When I buy my games elsewhere, I can't. This isn't complicated or confusing. Why don't you get it?
>>736399961hey sharteen
>>736399729No, torrenting is TRUE preservation. Any game worth playing will live forever on private torrent trackers. Steam can go under, GOG can go under, but at least GOG doesn't add extra steps to sharing the games on the permanent preservation method (torrent trackers).
>>736396475>Buy game>Uninstall gog>Game still works???

You just fell for the marketing like a retard.

>In terms of preservation? Steam is literally never going to shut down. GOG? It's definitely up there that it's very likely they will shut down.

>>736400620What's the point if you can still do that with pirated games? They revoke your right to ever downloading from them again? For what?
>>736400523sorry, can you tell us EXACTLY what sentence you think is saying that the product you are buying is a license?the screenshot says that GOG is giving you a license, for free, to connect to their website and download games from them. there is nothing here that tells us anything about what they are selling you.like hello? did you even read the TOS?
lol schizo thread
>>736400764>>736400764>the screenshot says that GOG is giving you a license, for free, to connect to their website and download games from them. there is nothing here that tells us anything about what they are selling you.Nope. I've argued with you before. I'm not doing that again. It clearly says it right there in fine print.
>>736400842it says what, exactly? what exactly does it say, anon?
>>736400842don't tell me your trolling can only go as far as pasting that screenshot before you have to pull back? are you serious?
>>736400962>>736401009Please don't be a fucking retard. You fell for the marketing gimmick and you're desperately trying to argue what the terms mean. I'm not playing your stupid game.
>>736401038interesting, what term are you claiming i was arguing the definition of anon? which word exactly?
>>736401123Nope.
>>736401187anon, can you show us where in the terms of service it describes the product being sold?can you show us, anon? are you able to do that?
>>736400523>Claims GOG sells licenses>Posts a screenshot of a singular license that they give away for freeKek based retard
>>736400523that text says they can deny you the right to use their services. it does not say you are buying a license.
>>736401430>that text says they can deny you the right to use their services. it does not say you are buying a license.And you still don't own your games. GOG is just the gatekeeper. Thank you for confirming.
>>736400120Based
>>736401503>And you still don't own your games.without a relevant TOS screenshot, this is just you making up claims out of nothing.>GOG is just the gatekeeper.correct! they only sell games. what you do with them afterwards isn't their business. they're just the gatekeeper after all. they can deny you further access to their files, but that has nothing to do with anything you may have bought or downloaded since then of course.
>>736401639>correct! they only sell games.Which you don't own btw.
>>736401696without a relevant TOS screenshot, this is just you making a claim.
>>736395837>forced to admit they rent licenses, not sell gamesThis is how software works. You buy a license to use the software.
>>736401734Not on GOG, they sell actual games that you literally own forever
*download game**install crack*mine now
>>736401715>without a relevant TOS screenshot, this is just you making a claim.I just asked Grok and Grok actually knows their shit. Go read the ToS if you don't believe me.
>>736401861go read the TOS please if you don't believe me.
>>736399729In what fucking way do I not own my GOG games you disingenuous faggot?
they should rename this board to /l/, you know, /l/icenses
>>736401929/l/oli
>>736401927>In what fucking way do I not own my GOG games you disingenuous faggot?Like what anon says >>736401430>that text says they can deny you the right to use their services. it does not say you are buying a license.The license is GOG. You don't own anything. You're just renting unlimited DRM free copies of their games. But you don't own them. and they can revoke your right to not use it if they so please.
>>736402000the license to use GOG services is given free of charge, that's how you know it's not what you're paying money for.you do own the games you buy, forever. you can pass them down to your children and their children and they will fully own the games for all eternity actually.
>>736402000all their games come as installers you stupid sack of shit
>>736402000I bought some games.I have them backed up into several USB drives and an external drive. Whatever happens to my account or to GOG itself cannot possibly affect those drivesIn what fucking way do I now own them?
>>736402086>I bought some games.>I have them backed up into several USB drives and an external drive. Whatever happens to my account or to GOG itself cannot possibly affect those drivesWhat's the fucking point? Just pirate at this point?>>736402074>the license to use GOG services is given free of charge, that's how you know it's not what you're paying money for.If you buy games on GOG, and for whatever reason revoked your right to use their services.. You LEGALLY cannot use your copies--I mean THEIR COPIES anymore. At this point, pirate. You do not own anything and you WILL be happy.>you do own the games you buy, forever. you can pass them down to your children and their children and they will fully own the games for all eternity actually.Marketing really got to you.. I'm sorry anon.
If you sell software licenses you have to add conditions on it's use, otherwise the person you're selling it to could start selling the software themselves...
>>736402265I'm not a thiefI'm not poorI'm not a cuntI have zero reason to pirate games, especially GOG games which cost less than 10 dollars and offer dozens of hours of play time.I take it that by moving the goal post you at least acknowledge how fucking stupid you sound. Good for you.
why are v@lv3 dron3s like this?, and yes and yes, i have to wirte it like this beceause faggot mods are gayben dick suckes and have it filtered
>>736402402Lmao.. Whatever you fucking nerd. Go eat shit. I got better things to do than to argue with some uber nerd who has nothing better to do with their time. Adios.
>Sharteen frogposting wrongevery single time
>>736402378>If you sell software licenses you have to add conditions on it's use, otherwise the person you're selling it to could start selling the software themselves...If you own it can you actually sell your GOG copies? What happens?
i feel like someone was reading the Steam forums today>>736395837>>the games they do have are usually out of date, broken, and missing featuresthat's probably the one thing that makes it better than Steam. they usually implement any (community) bug fixes within the installers>manhunt *ahem*
>>736402694If you somehow sold software to people in the sense of giving them actual ownership (whatever that means), then they could legally distribute it or sell it as they choose. Obviously, this would destroy your business model.
>>736402694>>736403134>of giving them actual ownershipbasicallypeople really need to learn the difference between licenses and DRMyou never owned your games in the first place. you owned the right to use, as it is still now.
I just crack my Steam games and back them up. I get the benefits of DRM-free and Steam's features.
>>736403532THANK YOU!!!And the built-in Steam DRM isn't even that bad to begin with and is easily crackable. But if we're talking about AAA slop with Denuvo.. Yeah, that's not really Steams' fault honestly. And I'll just use Steam at this point since it doesn't make a huge difference. GOG is like the vegans of the gaming front hella annoying
The samefag spamming his steam hate threads always gets blown the fuck out, I don't know why he keeps at it so I assume he's a 3rd worlder being paid by sweeney or some other competition
>I just asked Grok and Grok actually knows their shit.>GOG is like the vegans of the gaming front hella annoying
>>736404113>I don't know why he keeps at itThe same reason he keeps making these types of threadsextreme autism
>>736396208>the last 10 percent are indiansand me, im White. im not very good though
>>736403962>I just crack my Steam games and back them upthat's what seemingly all GOG basedcucks don't understand, Denuvo will never be on GOG, which makes the rest a moo pointaside from the fact Denuvo is a license itself that, after 2019, gets to be paid on a monthly basis

>>736395837>gog>sell gamesThey never sold games in the first place. They were purely a donation-based platform.
People obsessed with MUH OWNERSHIP are the biggest paypig faggots in existence. Just buy the game on Steam on sale or pirate it, and shut the fuck up.
