No, it is a browser. Also, your free to use either the built in ie, or remove and use your own one. Further, with a browser you don't need any other software, it has the necessary functionality.

Anyways, its pointless discussing it. There are those willing to use steam, and those who aren't. I am one of those who arent, and am currently quite happy purchasing offline games which I get via browser download and play offline. That is why I am here.

Please take the link down. It is a place where copyrighted material can be downloaded without the IP owner's consent, and they have no place in GOG's forum.
No one is saying you should be using Steam. We are saying that Steam is a DRM'd delivery system that can provide you with DRM-Free games. If you think a software needs DRM-Free delivery to be DRM-Free, that's your call.

A web browser is a client, a web client. In client server architecture, the client talks to the server. In the case of the web browser, it is the client talking to GOG or whoever's server.

It should also be noted that all gaming clients are themselves specialized web browsers, and with the gaming client you don't need any other software, it has the necessary functionality. GOG Galaxy and Steam are browsers based on the Google Chrome Webkit/Blink engine. I'm not sure what Uplay/Origin/Desura or other gaming clients use as their web engine but I wouldn't be surprised if they're all Webkit/Blink based also. At any rate, all of them are web browsers, and in the case of Steam at least you can use it as a minimalistic general purpose web browser via the overlay.

Anyways, it is pointful discussing it. There are those willing to use a generic web browser and those who aren't. I'm one of those who am comfortable using any client, including generic web browsers, gaming clients, downloader clients. I'm happy to use whatever works and if something doesn't work temporarily I will switch to one of the other methods because it's nice to have multiple options instead of only one way to do things. That is why I'm here. :)

Unless someone else will get the right to TES series, the answer is obvious - we will see The Elder Scrolls after we get Fallouts back.

Is there even a reason to play these games? What do these games offer that Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim doesn't offer? Yeah, fuck Bethesda in the ass, seriously. The fact that Bethesda made it harder for people to get their hands on such beautiful works of art like Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, make them evil in my book. And Bethesda is pro censorship. They refuse to sell Fallout 1 with kids in it through Steam. It's not their place to decide what people should be exposed to. Fuck their rights.

Fallout is still DRM free on Steam. It's just not here for some reason.

DRM free on Steam = paradox. You mean, Fallout doesn't have a second layer of DRM on Steam, right?

No, I mean it has NO DRM on steam. As in once it is installed Steam is no longer required for it to work at all.

Arena is downloadable as a freeware here http://www.jeuxvideo.com/telecharger/jeux-et-demos/00007513-the-elder-scrolls-arena-pc.htm

It's not about hating gog or liking DRM. It's about Steam, Valve, relationships, competitors, plans, and competing in a specific space.

That is a possibility.

Wrong company. That's Ubisoft and some Ubisoft titles are in fact here.
