Note that you can share games from GOG, but it is illegal probably everywhere where GOG is available and if law enforcement ever catches on, you’re fucked.

Afaik this is not happening right now, but there’s nothing stopping GOG from poisoning your downloads in a way that ties all copies to your account

Surely someone out there is paranoid enough to be wiresharking constantly. Sony games get hit hard in GOG reviews for telemetry that I’d probably never think twice about.

can I buy it and share with many people so they can play it on their PC?

Yes

Or there’s something that prevent me to do that?

Not being a dick? And understanding that the reason a lot of studios use DRM is because of this mindset.

If so, I wonder why pirate sites like FitGirl still use cracked Steam version of games, why don’t just share GOG version?

Part of it is because a lot of highly anticipated releases never go to GoG because of exactly the above. But also? Steam DRM is a very solved problem. And most of the time it is solely related to distribution. Which gets us to…

since it’s DRM-free

CD Projekt’s PR was on fire when they pushed this marketing line. The reality is that GoG DOES have DRM. It is a fully server side model that restricts who can download what. Which… is also what Steam does (not necessarily the DRM model Valve offer on top of that). And it is basically exactly the same model that Stardock had with GOO back in the day. The idea is that you auth to download the game and any updates and, after that, do whatever you want.

And… that is still the model a LOT of games use even when they distribute on Steam.

there's something that prevent me to do that?

Decency perhaps?

Even if it was DRMed you could still pirate it, so what's the point?
