That must be what I'm doing wrong and why it hurts. If real life were just like video games...

Like Hatred? or you got something else on your mind?

Unlikely. What is quite likely though, is that when you regain consciousness your train will already be gone.

To be honest, for new users it might be a bit difficult to actually find out that there is a downloader. Now a new user buys/redeems a game and goes to his/her account to download the said game. There the first thing s/he sees is the browser download and that might tick people off. I know I really hated browser download back in the days.

I'm sure the galaxy client remedies this.

And right next to it, another option.

The downloader has never really been heavily advertised though, there were a lot of people asking how to find the downloader even back in 2009 after only realising it exists due to the "GOG.com Downloader mode" switch on the shelf page (I think the link to the downloader download page was there back then too, but I can't remember right now).

Seriously though...

I don't know if the closed alpha for Galaxy is still giving out invites but the link is here:
http://www.gog.com/galaxy/alpha

Hopefully the open beta will start soon though...

Eh. Don't rush them. You see how the website and library are right now. Let them get it good and screwed up for reals before they actually let the public touch it. Although, Galaxy client feels mostly harmless, it's not broken anything seriously on my PC yet.

Hihi, the reactions of people who only use Steam are so funny.

You can install games on pc without Steam's client? Really? :O

This is where I should use the Futurama meme "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" :o)

Of course you can, you've never heard of Origin and UPlay?

This place doesn't need me anymore. Threads like this are way funnier than I could ever be. :P

Now I want to join Steam just so I can go into their forum and start a counter thread, "Steam is only a DRM site now?"

Hehe, if you do it, send us the link.
Also, never do one of those farewell thread, please.

Dimokritos: Can't download the platform like steam etc?
You say this as if something has disappeared. GOG was always 'just a site'.
