Not me. Maybe there was a time when I trusted GOG blindly, but these days it seems a good idea to do some research and double check the fine print, no matter what stores or publishers you buy from.
Yeah there's been a lot of backlash against various AAA games/publishers lately. I don't generally have much faith in the average AAA gamer-bro, but maybe there's some hope yet.

Well obviously I was talking about single-player offline games. One surely can't yell at the cloud over online games requiring you to get online.

I will always take free games. One day you never know maybe gog will connect to uplay or others.. Good to have and when the day gog links with them I'll get it here.

So thanks for the link. I hate DRM but free is free. I'll wait so I don't need any client to play it. :)

Free is Free, if multiple companies offering the same product; say a printer usualy 300$ decide to advertise a sale and one says they will give it away for free, where are you going to go get it? just because you got it there doesn't mean you will go there every time for an item it just means your a smart shopper..

One thing I miss about my old PS2. I didn't have to think about clients or drivers or thingamabobs (quick sidetrack the computer is telling me that is a spelled 100% correctly and is in fact a real word not something made up by the Little Mermaid).

Yeah, I don't think anyone really should have an issue letting people know about this. After all, people even report discounts on competing platforms.

While I prefer buying games DRM-free (usually in GOG.com), I like it if people mention e.g. important freebies on other sites, especially since nowadays I rarely read gaming news anywhere else besides GOG.com forums. :)

Yeah, I keep telling myself and the world that PS2 was probably the most bestest console ever made. To me, it seemed to do everything perfectly:

- No online DRM, online accounts to be made etc. (like in later consoles)
- Fully backwards compatible with PSOne, so no need to keep your old Playstation to play your old PS1 library.
- Easy and hassle-free operation.
- Games and genres were generally somewhat different from PC games, so it made sense for a PC gamer like me to have also a PS2. Nowadays, PCs and consoles get mostly the same games.
- Worked also as a DVD player.

Also, if you modded it, you could add a hard drive in it, and even transfer most of your PS2 games to the internal hard drive, running them directly from there! How cool is that? No need to pop in the DVD to play the game, and load times were much shorter.

My thinking exactly. I recall I got e.g. Portal for free on Steam many many years ago, and I liked that game a lot. It has probably the best, or at least the funniest, end-boss fight I've seen in any game. Even to the point that you don't want to destroy the end-boss because you want to keep hearing if they have anything more to say to you.

I support Koima sharing the news. Nobody is forced to do anything if they don't want any games or clients. I've claimed free DRM games even if I'll never wind up playing them. Maybe one day they'll remove the DRM and I'll already have the game, maybe I'l be able to tolerate whatever DRM they have, and if nothing else, I can simply not play the game. Claiming games only took a minute of my time, so I don't think it's fair to discourage people from even mentioning free games being offered. Only grumpy curmudgeons would do that, and I don't care about your lawn. : P

I'm all for it. For a long time now my policy has been not that I won't play or purchase/obtain DRMed games, but that I won't pay more than a set amount. If they're free? Yeah, I'll grab them. If those pubs/devs that are enamored of DRMed games want to give them away or put them on steep, steep discount, sure, I'll grab them. But they won't be making much money off me for them (if any at all).

I'm sure they keep track of how many games are claimed during giveaways. I like to imagine that when they see all the free games they've given out but which are sitting in accounts unused, unplayed, it might make them question why. "Why aren't people playing these games they claimed?? Did they discover something they didn't like after claiming them? Is it our DRM? Maybe we should remove it?

Maybe just a nice fantasy...
