In a few years can be a long time, considering most of GoG's titles were released when I was still a teen in the 1990's and I'm nearing my mid 30's now. I am not really saying Ubisoft should do away with what they believe is 'right', but what they are doing right now is turning away many potential customers who are willing to pay, while pirates are cracking their games left and right. The way DRM is set up on most games that Ubisoft releases, doesn't do away with pirates. Pirates always find a way around their DRM.

At least the pirates are playing AC and From Dust for free and distributing it all under the pretense of "freedom of expression" and "LOLZ", but where does that leave people like us? Wait half a decade to a decade before the game is released at GoG without their DRM? Considering GoG sells games on average at the price of $6 to $10, wouldn't it be more prudent for devs like Ubisoft to do away with the DRM that does not deter pirates and encourage willing customers to buy their games when they are first released for full price?

Anyway, I am not arguing with you. I am just somewhat ranting. I DO agree with you that their games may eventually be released DRM free, but again, that can be many years from now when I am married (engaged at the moment), have 2 kids and paid off my house mortgage. Maybe by then, Playstation 7, the Wii Nexus Prime, Final Fantasy 25 , iPhone Wave Nebula X3, the first small colony on the moon is established, we develop warp drives and the free cure for cancer and HIV would be completely made public by then... ^_~

Steam IS a form of DRM.

True statement is true.

You can play the game without starting steam...

You must download steam to play a game that is on steam, even a boxed copy off the shelf. You must run steam to properly install a game that is on steam. You must leave steam resident on your system to use a game that is on steam. Many games that are on steam are not available without the use of steam. Being required to use software external to the game code (which often results in greater game instability and/or decreased system performance), Yep that's DRM.

GOG delivers digital content and has a downloader, however you don't have EVER install or use the GOG downloader to use the products purchased from GOG. You do not have to register or verify your software through GOG upon install (not even the first time). You don't have to leave any 3rd party style software on your system to allow for the products downloaded from GOG to function. You don't have to log in to GOG (once downloaded) in order to use your purchased products. All great aspects of being DRM free.

GOG do use some codes for multiplayer... that don't make the game with DRM ;) See my point ?

Well... I dont.

You don't need to start Steam to play some games - so the form of DRM is off for them

It's a DRM that keeps all my games updated, has nice sales, keep me in touch with my gaming friends, makes joining an ongoing game easy and a bunch of other nice features.

Bottom Line:

I'm fine with Steam being DRM. It's the lesser evil of all DRMs out there. That's also a fact.

Sorry, i'm not realy sure that it's the good topic (my english is very bad, i'm french) but I would like to know if the game "the tone rebellion" has a chance to be on gog in the futur?

thank you for your answer :)

Well, at least you can request a game here: http://www.gog.com/en/wishlist/add/games

Not really i have had more problems with steam then origin, gfwl etc.

- Corrupted saves(just cause 2, because of steamworks).
-Forcing u to upgrade your pc to play your games(back when i had cs on win 98, they prevented people with win 98 from playing the games that they bought... so i upgraded to xp, i had to pay extra to play the games i already bought...)
-Faulty offline mode(this has been talked to death).
-Publicize games without drm on store page, then only know after that they have drm(It happened with Batman: Arkham Asylum, it didn't have securerom on the page, now it does.)
-They don't give refunds(I requested for batman after what happened, but they gave me the middle finger, i also did it for 1 or 2 other games which i cannot remember)
-Annoying as hell (Steam used to spam me every freaking time i connected, a key for me to log-in)

Nowadays i avoid steam and buy from other sites like ea store, gog , impulse, gamersgate etc. Needless to say, never had any other major problems after i stopped using steam.

Amazingly enough I have none of those problems.
Perhaps you stopped using steam years ago and those problems are no more.

Corrupted saves occurs anywhere.
Never heard of anyone who needed to upgrade a PC to play games on steam.
Offline mode works fine for me.
DRM advertising is the publisher's fault. Probably just an oversight.
They do give refunds. I even got one.
Spam? Never had this problem.

I'll never get the amount of rage Steam generates among certain people.

Just picking at small bits. :)

So all steam customers still use a 80286?
