can you link these other places? I want to expand my arsenal of DRM Free. if its itch and humble I already have those but more is always welcome

GamersGate still has big selection of DRM free games. Some you can't buy anywhere else it seems.

Links count as advertising. Therefore I just mention them:

Fireflower Games offer only DRM-free games.

IndieGala are similar to Humble Bundle and itch.io which also offer DRMed games.

And if you are interested in anime adult games then JAST USA, Kagura Games, FAKKU!, MangaGamer are entirely DRM-free.

If you are interested in physical versions then Limited Run Games and indiebox have DRM-free releases, but some games like Among Us are DRMed.

I understand your point. GOG dose has a selection of games that smash ZOOM. 4943 GOG games, while ZOOM has 486 games including DLC right now. People forget ZOOM is not a new store and has been around for over 8 years.

It is not about the selection. Just think about a butcher where you don't want to buy the meat because you don't like the people working for them. They could have the best meat in town but you still go to the alternatives.

Okay I get it now.

thank yoiu very much foad01
I refuse to buy from them.

Sounds damn right Faustian to me to sign a permanent contract with anyone. A lot of things can go wrong with an agreement you cannot back out of when the shit hits the fan.

What ever does not affect me. As long as a video game I want to purchase is there one year from now, ten years from now or twenty five years from now it is all very good for me.

And for every GRID, there's Alien Trilogy. For every Duke Nukem, there's BloodRayne, etc. Unlike most stores, Zoom keeps their delisted games listed on the store with a ""Temporarily" unavailable" banner, so it;s very easy to find them.
At the end of the day it's not foolproof. Best efforts only, though I must admit that those efforts are very commendable. The pursuit of goodies and great communication is a plus too, but then on the other hand, there are hardly ever any significant sales.

Never mind me. I'm a stubborn negative customer.

Makes you wonder whether it's also the reason why none other Codemasters game was released there after GRID if maybe they realized after the fact what they signed for.

I wondered why a contentless thread was created.

Then I saw the exchange from post 49 to post 56 and understood why.

I don't think I would ever want to buy games from a platform which tries to pull stealth advertisement tactics on a competitor's forum. It's pathetic.

The moment you use galaxy you already have identification and authentification, Galaxy is a browser and a network for your account, it won't work without, no matter what happens behind that, you are already identified.
LAN direct connect means NOT using any client or gaming network infrastructure for communication

So it's identification.
Using different accounts accomplishes exactly the same thing as getting a new cookie with the difference that you can easily switch back to the other account.


It's not about GOG, it's about the games. The programmers have to write LAN code, not GOG.

You've never bought anything from Steam, then? That gets mentioned here way more than anything else, "stealth" or not.
