I'm not using Galaxy at all so "optional" for now, it seems to be.

For the longest time I didn't even have the GoG downloader--I just downloaded them [slower] without it. Whether that's still possible any more, I couldn't say. I do know it's not remotely possible on Steam.

Most of these companies only offer "offline" AFTER gamers whinge and moan and it starts costing them a few million in sales.

I absolutely agree we should always question companies and have every right to do so--after all, it's OUR dollars going into their pockets and if they want it, they may have to make some compromises to get it. We've all seen what happens when we blindly throw our money around on products that are inferior and services that are inferior--we get more inferior services and products.

This idea that we are somehow "leasing" games from them with their permission [I'm looking at YOU Origin] and if we upset them we can be booted out of products WE purchased seems to be becoming the norm in the gaming industry and it has to stop. And paying for half a game and being dlc'ed to death for the other half is an abominable practice.

I don't know about you guys but I am really tired of being treated like a 3rd rate idiot by gaming companies.

micktiegs_8: The client thing didn't bother me. I have quite a few physical (uplay, origin, steam) games that just sit and gather dust because I just don't want to be a part of it anymore.

As for options, even if I didn't have a choice and _insert client here_ was the only option, I won't take it. Self control and all that noise :3
I was fussier when I could play with k/m. Now I can't physically sit iat the computer position or more than a few minutes so I have to look for games with controller support.

That cut out a LOT of my fave old games choices and such :(
