Thanks to GoG i am purchasing pc games again. I went for a pretty dam long stretch of not buying any games. It got to where any game i ever got interested in was steamed or the like. I guess im old school, i wont use steam, i like to feel a real sense of ownership when i buy a game. I do not like downloading some program i have to use and signing into an account to play a game i bought. Thats the ultimate drm right there it dont get much worse then that in my book.

So im back in the game again as they say. Hoping bethseda with skyrim and fallout 4 gets on board pretty soon.

Its fine if developers want to use steam but dont use them exclusively like bethseda and other game companies, give people a choice. I hope more companies will use GoG.

Have you checked out the age of Bethesda's "newest" game on GOG?

I have a lot of similar issues. Not to mention being on the internet is not something I can rely on. When I was poor and living in a small apartment, I couldn't afford internet, so from 2002-2007 I had to use physical media or what I could fit on a thumb drive when I was at the library to download content.

I like being able to play my games regardless if I ever have web access again. People don't understand this. If there's a blackout (say for a month?) How would people react? Some people couldn't access NetFlix for like 3 hours (during an outage) and were annoyed discovering the world wasn't just rainbows and unicorns. And a lot of Blizzard games have problems when they have huge numbers of sudden players (new expansion) or lots who just want to play a game (Diablo 3), and it kinda annoys me that they lock games down rather than open them up.

And of course Sim City (2013)... who could forget that... sigh


Personally since coming to GoG I've bought more games than I ever have in my life. And I'm having to back off a bit since I have more important things to put money towards.
