Which is better?
>>741685406GOG for singleplayer and old games.Steam for multiplayer (and apparently the very occasional game that has very strong Steam Workshop support, but I don't play any of those)Sometimes have to go with Steam anyway simply because many AAA publishers refuse to do DRM free
>>741685406For me, it's GOG.
>>741685406gog is good as a concept but steam actaully has all those indies I want to play
>>741685406Steam has ease of use, but GoG has no DRM, allows you to create installer backups and works offline. Therefore GOG.
>>741685573When are you actually offline though?
I don't like 90% of the "features" (((bloat))) valve pushes to a gaming launcher
>>741685406GOG lets you use their installers and play their games without an account or internet accessBurning GOG installers on discs is pretty much like owning a physical PC game
>>741685607Why would you always be online?
>>741685406When I buy old games on gog they work
>>741685650Kek
>>741685647Because I have an ethernet cable plugged into my PC.
>>741685687opsec fail
gogIf it is not on gog, don't buy it. And don't buy it until you have pirated it.
Whatever gets me my games with the least amount of hassle and the lowest price.
>>741685406Why the hell is gog-games.to going down? Does anyone know?
>>741685626>DiscI use usb keys with a keychain.I put GOG, Steam and freeware games.Also, Steam DRM isn't a problem for me.
>>741685650
>>741685406If a game is both available on Steam and GoG, I will always pick the GoG version solely because of the offline installer. If it's only available on Steam, then Steam it is.
>>741685714I'm not gaming in the middle of the Donbass okay buddy
>>741685650Notice how Steam's BWC is circumcised.
gog at least tries to make sure the shit they sell works.buying an old game on steam almost always ends up with you digging through community guides for a fix
>>741685650Based
>>741685763>another piracy website is going down!Wow, it's fucking nothing!Just download the GOG collection torrent in this /t/ thread and call it a day! It has over 1 TB of games.>>>/t/1387605
>>741685850>I will always pick the GoG version solely because of the offline installer.Me too. But you can easily make one from a Steam game with 7zip.It's what I did with Spark 3 because one of its file is above 4gb.
>>741685904I actually prefer that Steam gives you the raw untouched files, and you can then install whatever patch you want. I've had to unpatch GOG installs before because they come with some stupid fan patch that I don't like.
>>741685406>steam local pricing making games cheaper in some countries than US or EU>virus-free gog games for free if you know where to go
>>741685650real ones remember that steam bwc fucking people in the ass because steam sucked (in the early days)
>>741685406GOG is hands down better. Their older games usually come with necessary patches already installed, doesn't have a tide of ai slop shit flooding its pages everyday, you actually own your games that you buy off GOG, and I've never had a problem with them. Steam is a good platform but they are a bit laissez faire.
>>741685841Flash memory goes bad pretty quickly if you don't keep it powered. Not sure why.
>>741685406Steam if I pay, ZOG if I want to pirate a high quality DRM-free version of an old game and laugh at polekeks
>>741687060Pirating a GOG installer is somehow always faster than actually downloading it from your library on the site.
>>741685406GoG, I either get DRM free installer or I pirate.
As someone new to pc gayming, thanks for this threadwell not new, but ill be actually building my pc library little by little
>>741685406GOG is better. If every game was on GOG nobody would ever use Steam.
Which is better for offline play while traveling without internet?From what I've seen Steam is better because of Steam Deck. Or is a laptop with DRM free games still the ideal?
>>741685406GOG's deals kind of suck. Kind of unwritten mandate that these jank-ass old games never go more than 50% off. I'm not paying $12 for this garbage.Thanks for making them easy to pirate, I guess.
>>741687386Only retarded consoltards bought the Steamed dick scam. Laptop is the way to go.
>>741687435You are a retard. Plenty of game on GOG go to 90% discounts. You can sort the GOG store page a bazillion ways to find the best deals but i am guessing you're too dumb to do that.
>>741687447>Steamed dick
>>741687386>laptop with DRM free gamesInshallah.
>>741685406gog for good old games, steam for steam games
>>741685406GOG, next question.
>>741685958>just use another method to download different stuffthe site got frequently updated with new games and game versions, had easy search and request for upload, it was all around convenient to use
>>741685406If you have the game on it, GOG Really the only limiting factor holding DOG back is the pitifully small library of games it has compared to Steam
steam for everything. why would i EVER use gog?>>741685626>>741685573is gog just propped up by uninformed people? you can copy files of most steam games directly out the folder
>>741687941SOME Steam games don't have DRMALL GOG games are DRM-Free
>>741688013and?
>EU posting hours>/v/ is overwhelmingly pro GOGMake this thread 10 hours later and look at the replies be completely different.
>>741685406GOG is great. After they sold out to DEI I no longer have any moral obligation to pay them when I download their cars.Hope that blood money lasts you a long while, honorary white niggers.
>>741688194>1 samefag means the board is pro-GOG
>>741685406gog is objectively superior but subhumans publishers than cry about steam's ""monopoly"" refuse to support it
>>741688298I am one of the pro GOG posts and i do not samefag. So there are at least two. I am sure that as the timezones further from the EU wake up there will be an influx of Steamies. India and China should boost your Steamie numbers, so relax.
>>741685406>Steam has better ease of use and convenience for most modern stuff>GOG has better support for older games, most games no matter how old will just workThey both have pros and cons, so I use both, it doesn't need to be an 'either or' thing unless you're some turbo autist.
In a perfect world gog would be the standard instead of steam
>>741688367>calls you out for samefagging>complete meltdown
>>741685406GOG.>>741688347At the same time, they're not crying that their games have forced DRM, they're crying about the cut Steam takes.And GOG doesn't take all games. It's a curated platform, they hand select and reject a bunch of games from the platform because they just don't it in their collection.GOG is less of a DRM free storefront and more of a "games GOG likes" storefront that just so happens to not have DRM on the installers.
>>741685406I prefer to buy games on gog whenever possible. Not that I'm personally hoarding all the installers but like the idea and want to support it.Where steam has advantage is some games extensively use workshop for modding and its genuinely convenient can be a pain in the ass to mod it the old fashioned way especially if the mod in question isn't even hosted anywhere else and now you have to deal with downloaders.Other is less of a steam thing and more fault of developers but sometimes gog version of the game doesn't get all the updates on timely manner for early access or just general indie games taht are still being worked on.
>>741685406They're both ran by evil piece of shit companies that are shell of their former self.
>>741688521>especially if the mod in question isn't even hosted anywhere elseWhich is why I am against Steam Workshop, actually. Too many modders are too lazy to back up their shit somewhere else too, like Moddb.
As someone building a pc soon, from what i've tested in my toaster, steam makes linux easier, gog can use Lutris, but I find Lutris a litle more annoying, BUT using Lutris means I can VPN without having a account open and browse as well,so there's that
>>741688670>LinuxHumiliation ritual.
>>741688502>At the same time, they're not crying that their games have forced DRM, they're crying about the cut Steam takes.>And GOG doesn't take all games. It's a curated platform, they hand select and reject a bunch of games from the platform because they just don't it in their collection.>>GOG is less of a DRM free storefront and more of a "games GOG likes" storefront that just so happens to not have DRM on the installers.bro not even indies that don't put extra drm on steam aren't on gog, it's ridiculous
>>741688670use heroic game launcher for gog lil bro
>>741688601There's definitely convenience to both uploading and downloading mods right there on steam that nade it more accessible, but yeah, should steam really be in the business of hosting mods at all. I also dislike the centralised mod repositories in general because you end up with tranny jannies dictating what is acceptable and that's sort of missing the point of modding.
>>741685406IMO GoG. Steam absolutely has the popularity, but for practical terms and for years later, GoG. Steam will eventually die but with GoG, so long as you save the installers, you're good to go. Plus I have come to really appreciate single player games.
>>741685406I personaly like more gog, but Steam has way more games and better deals/keys
you guys buy anything in the sale ?
I've been buying games exclusively on gog for a while, because i can just fucnking play the game without steam/game trying to update every fucking time i click on the damn thing
>>741685406GOG. A storefront is getting too big for its breeches if it thinks it can require everyone to use a launcher to access it (and in some cases to launch the games purchased from it.) I don't know why people allowed that to be normalized.
>>741687941>is gog just propped up by uninformed people?Exactly. You can count the amount of GOG fans who have read their ToS in its entirely on the fingers of one hand. And the hand is actually a horse's hoof.Have some fun exempts I found when skimming it:2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a 'license') to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content.

>>741689639GOG straight up rejects indie games, regardless of how popular they are. It's a weird curation of old games, CDPR games and random new games picked arbitrarily.I get everything from them if I can but they're not a DRM free platform first and foremost.It'd be cool if they released their installer tool so that anybody can make installers for their games. That way, even indie games that don't go on GOG, can have installers that work just like GOG.It'd be even better if they simply allowed vetted indie games into a different section of their store, rather than being forced to Steam or ItchIO.
>>741685406both, but if there is a sale on gog and steam with similar price I prefer to buy it on gog,also because of having amazon prime(free games on luna/prime gaming) I have about 260 games on gog
>>741690438>please don't say nigger on our forums >95% of conservative inclined pc user's somehow fail this simple filter check and get their account closedif you are this stupid i'm surprised you remember how to breath
>>741690584>You don't get it, the games are YOURS on GOG!>Uhm, did you just do a heckin racismerino? That's not very wholesome, no games for you, chud!GOG cult's strongest soldier, everyone.Wanna know something funny, troon? When I said NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER on steam, they suspended my account's community privileges, preventing me from posting on the forums, and then I just kept playing the games in my library.
>>741685406Only trannnies use gogReal gamer use steam
>>741690763you just sound like a sperglord
>>741685406For me its cs.rin.ru
>>741690551if they actually function like that they are pants on head retarded
Gog is not drm free so i won't buy from them
>>741690817he's still right
>>741690817I mean he kinda redpilled me on gog
>>741690857the best store front
>>741685406GoG is better if you're using heroic games launcher and buying games that never ever get updated and patched (updates on GOG are slow).
>>741685406Gog. Steam is only good for multiplater games. I will never understand people that buy steam games but pirate gog games. Its equally as easy. Goldberg and clean steam files exist.Recent gog summer sale was disappointing but i bought dungeon keeper 2 and the 2 classic twinsen games and wreckfest. Im just waiting for the Tex Murphy games to get a good discount and im waiting for the steam summer sale to start because gog lets publishers put a sale up at any point in time during the summer sale so there are a few that start their gog sales the same time they start their steam sales. I pirate both gog and steam games but i also buy gog games that i want for ease of use. I just can not be fucked to keep a list of old fucking games i want to play and the annoyance of having to find and download them. The only thing i buy on steam are multiplayer games. Thats it. Either with local multiplayer for somethibg like parsec or online multiplayer. Probably going to buy Aboitic Factor if it gets a decent sale. I just dont see the point in buying single player games on steam. Did you know that gog has multiplayer games? For one im waiting for that warchest or whatever game because it has active multiplayer servers
Looking for GOG friends. Username: hopeundemoralized
There's nothing unique to gog, steam beats it on features across the board
>>741685406Poop and piss, which is better?
>>741685406GOG because they don't force me to use their launcher.
>>741690817I accept your concession.
>>741691416I buy steam games because it's convenient.I pirate gog games because it's convenient.>Goldberg and clean steamLiteral aboriginal gobbledigook. Joshua, put a cap in this motherfucker.
>>741685406GOG wins and deserves it's place in the industry simply for the service of DRM-free games you actually fucking own. Nothing can compete with this really in terms of consumer freedom. However GOG sucks utter shit in every other interface category and Steam ironically wins every single one of those for better or worse. Nevertheless Steam is a platform that deserves utter respect and has place in gaming for everything it has done and is actively doing. But to ends meet the real thing that Gabe and Steam deserve utter respect for is just the fact Gabe never did once did an anti-competition move and GOG is an utter testament to this, everything else just shooting itself and the literal pajeets doing anti-Steam threads with how blatant of shilling literally the worst "alternatives" in PC gaming can't deserve black death enough.

>>741694808That's every fucking company latinx. And GOG in the very same ToS fucking says they won't take actual offline installers you bought and have right to use you fucking retard. I really wish you're going to get beheaded by your local drug cartel.
>>741685406i don't know how gog (or steam) manages this but it always gives me great deals of a product that I've already bought for a same price on Steam like a month later... on games I'm waiting on both stores to put a good deal GoG is always rather slow... is anybody else experiencing this?The only thing it was faster it was on Breath of Fire 4 and a D&D collection I got with Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights and Planescape Torment games.
>>741685406Gog for old games, steam for everything else
>>741685406GOG is basically a donation box.
>>741687102Because the pirated GOG installers are hosted on file drops. GOG uses a CDN on dialup.

But you trannies are the only ones who pretend your cult is somehow different.>And GOG in the very same ToS fucking says they won't take actual offline installers you bought and have right to use you fucking retard.
