Valve is a danger to users,to me it is a company that each gives me more afraid.Are a monopolia ye s important that platforms like Gog triumph because but the future of gaming will be very dark.

I'm not in the least bit interested in people who think DRM is acceptable. I take this question as a marker of reason and intelligence:

How badly would I allow my personal property to be fucked up/damaged just to play a video game?

Answer-

Never.

So when I see arguing over steam or any publisher that attached DRM to a game. I immediately ask myself this question and find that I prefer to be able to use my property as long as it is capable without adding trash to it that potentially damages or opens loop holes that could damage what I own.

There simple enough.

don't want anyone offended , i like Gog but i wonder if some day come this type of games to Gog

GOG's main theme are games that you can download and take away with you without ever having to connect online again.

The games you're mentioning have far too many strings attached to them.

Headaches best left for Steam's automated complaints department.

melacio: Let us hope that large publishers end up selling their games in Gog.i am user of steam but many users are tired of the abusive policies of valve.
These abusive policies of Valve are the reason publishers love Steam so much. Steam is a de-facto standard form of DRM, that's the kind of service they are really selling. Some people will prefer to have one unified DRM client over having multiple disjointed clients, and as long as enough people are willing to bend over it will remain that way. Me personally, I don't want any DRM, but I am not the King of Gamers, so I will have to make do with the occasional bone the publishers toss us on GOG.

Some modern games are filled with so much DRM that it may not even be possible to play them in ten years, let alone bring them to GoG. To many publishers, total control over a product is more important than the preservation of art, more important than customer satisfaction, and even to a certain extent, more important than money. They would rather not even bring their games to PC at all because the thought of even one person obtaining it for free through piracy is like executive kryptonite, but in the last couple of years it has gotten especially hard to ignore Steam having more users than Xbox Live so they graciously allow PC users in on condition that we slaughter a goat and dance naked around the fire every time we want to boot up Driver San Francisco.

Why do you people think this is incentive to play a game?

The entire reason to play the game is to...oh, I dunno...play the purchased game. Not to have a gimmick to try to motivate me to play something that was probably garbage to begin with. Such is with "achievements". If a game sucks that badly, why the hell should that get me to play more of it when that was the reason people are supposed to turn it on?

Like trying to motivate the people in the funny farm to do stuff because they are so doped up they cannot enjoy life on its own =(

I guess you could say there's a silver lining in all of this; Games for Windows Live has been periodically removed from AAA games like Batman: Arkham Asylum. But then again you're still locked in with Steam's DRM, which for now is a working convenient system. When it comes to the preservation of games in the years to come this may work against games tied to Steam. Who knows if the service will be around for the next 10 - 20 years.

Gog has far cry 2 though.. Crysis is pretty good but fear things are kinda better.

No Contracts No Games.

It depends on both sides: developers/publishers and GOG.

Saberwolf_Prime: Indeed. Especially considering they recently announced they're calling quits on consoles and moving to PC and mobile devices.
The GOG user bansama can easily give you a detailed analysis of why the majority of Japanese publishers don't want the PC versions of their video games available to the Japanese public through GOG. Basically, tl;dr style, they want to keep the Japanese market tied to consoles, old and new. Even publishers like Square who play ball only do so with western titles. Even on Steam what you as an American see on the store is not what the Japanese accounts see due to regional locking.

Indeed. It is considered the de-facto standard by both publishers and mainstream PC gamers. When DRM started getting really bad (SecurROM/malware, online activations, limited installations) I was more concerned when companies would try an open palm approach (like Valve). The fanaticism many Steam users have become is disturbing, Valve knows this and uses it to their advantage.
On Amazon if anyone tries to warn or bashes Steam, users rush in and downvote their review, and add comments like "What kind of a PC user does not use Steam?".
Sure you may argue that it shouldn't warrant a 1 star review but Steam is a deal breaker for some potential buyers. I'm there are those who do appreciate the warning, especially when there is no indication of the DRM used.
