And it unfortunately gets worse and worse as the goal posts are moved more and more. The enshitification of every aspect of peasant life is astounding to me, alongside the absolute apathy people have for being f'd harder every year. All I can hope for is the few good things/companies we do have to stick around.
You're delusional if you think Rockstar is doing this for any other reason than greed. They have consistently proven since the release of GTA 5 what they care about most.

I imagine it must have been similar with the peasants living under their abusive feudal lords in the middle ages.

Someone says: "Hey, why don't we get together and overthrow these a-holes? Then we can be free and independent; own our own land and live more happily, out of the shadow of fear!"

The rest: "Nah, it'll never work. Look at how much they do for us - protecting us, giving us work. Yeah, they might abuse, kill, rape some of us occasionally, but it's not al that bad. Life is simple, convenient - it's this way for a reason. What can we do about it anyway?"

It's shocking how abusive practices can become so normalized, when it's the only thing you have known.

Okay this has to be trolling as you can't seriously be saying that when you are literally on a site/storefront that is made and based on the concept of being able to own the media one buys at atleast the closest one can in this digital age..

Because if you are serious then you should just stay in your drmed bubble of the internet

That might be but as others have already pointed out: if you are not interested in DRM-free then why are you even here? You sound like someone "who owns nothing and is happy"...

Come on goglings, cheer up!

Focus on the good stuff once in a while lol

Disco Elysium devs have started on their next game, and it sounds it's going to be even more outrageous as DE.
And sooner than that, Esoteric Ebb, which seems to be going in the same direction, with a customized-AD&D ruleset.

Larian has moved away from Wizards of the Coast franchise and it will be "different than what you think it is" according to them... Sounds interesting.

Those will definitely be DRM-free and here in GOG one day.

And this month, Near Mage from the Gibbous - Cthulhu Adventure devs, with even a touch of RPGing in the mix... That sounds fun.
And Wadjet Eye is developing Nighthawks, an adventure/RPG game with nightclub management and who knows what else... the trailer has pretty nice atmosphere already.

Frostpunk devs' next big thing The Alters is coming in June...

Gothic 1 and Stalker are getting remakes...

And next week, maybe(?) even in GOG, Survive the Fall releases.. yes it's a new studio game, so who knows...

Anyhow, bunch of _other_ interesting games outside GTAVI coming up :D

I completely forgot about that one. Good to hear as Gibbous was great, one of the best point & clicks I played in recent years. I hope this new one lives up to it.

For me almost anything is more interesting than GTA. I never enjoyed any of those games and was always baffled by their popularity. There are so many games with imaginative settings and/or gameplay ideas and the arguably most popular series ever is just "drive around and shoot things in a modern city". And in the ones I played it didn't even do the shooting part particularly well.

GTA1 was amazing. GTA3 was really good for its time as well, incorporating quests into a driving game was a novel idea. Vice City had a lot of character and San Andreas was very polished - all the GTA3 games were in different cities too which helps.

Since then they've been blander sequels with settings which have been done before and considering how long GTA6 has been delayed, you can expect more of the same, there are no new ideas coming soon.
Sounds like fun to me!

Carmageddon did it first of course and didn't even bother with the cities.

This. When has Rockstar EVER released something day one on PC?

They are extremely paranoid and hate PC gamers, viewing them as pirates.

I own the games I buy. Tell me a digital distrobution platform that was super successful and ceased to exist. I play games, and make my investment worth.

You should read the TOS of the stores, they clearly say you don't buy games, you buy a license to play them and they can at any time remove the right to play "your" games from their stores. You don't own anything.

No, they can't. They can remove a game from the store, but if you bought a game, they can't remove it from your library. What you are saying is pure misinformation.

Read the 9.C from Valve TOS and there must be the same TOS in EGS, Ubisofr, EA, ... but i don't want to check so yes they have the right to remove any game from your library.

They can't remove a game from your library, and they have no reason to do it in the first place. There were multiple games that were removed from the stores, and I still own all of those games in my library.

They can only make live service games unavailable. They don't remove anything that isn't live service. I have games that are both from the store, and were activated via keys, and all of them are there and playable. They don't remove your games. Period.
