HKayn, 6 miesięcy temu do gaming w Government Response - Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state

This basically boils down to “read the terms & conditions”, which isn’t unreasonable.

If a game states in its terms that access may be revoked at any time and you buy the game, then you have no reason to be surprised when access is eventually revoked.

Obviously when terms aren’t clear enough or intentionally obfuscated, that’s indeed an issue for legislation to act upon.

All this wouldn’t be necessary if gamers would just stop buying games that are obviously live services with remote kill switches.

What are you talking about? GOG has been involved with Amazon for a long time now, and so far it has been exclusively beneficial for GOG users.

Then just pretend it doesn’t exist. I don’t understand how this affects the GOG userbase. All that happens is people speculate about how GOG is out to kill DRM-freedom.

No one in the comments seems to consider that this could very well be an additional revenue stream that GOG desperately needs.

You’d be doubling your building, testing and supporting efforts for a ~1.8% increase in sales at best.

Granted, these numbers are just rough estimates based on Steam’s hardware survey, but that’s the ballpark we’re finding ourselves in.

What can you tell me about their refund policy?

You can refund any purchase within 30 days. There are no restrictions on playtime, since GOG can’t feasibly control that.

You can get your refund either as store credit or to the payment method you used, however store credit is usually processed much faster.

Are the results on ProtonDB just as reliable for GOG versions as they are for Steam versions of games?

I can only vaguely answer this by saying the games that I tried (mainly indie games like Dead Cells and One Step from Eden) worked flawlessly.

GOG is tiny compared to Valve. They simply don’t have the resources to invest in Linux R&D. Expecting them to do so is futile.

There’s little to no business incentive for other launchers to add support for an OS used only by approx. 1.7% of PC gamers.

You can use the Heroic Games Launcher, which runs GOG games through Proton, offers automatic updates and integrates with GOG cloud saves.

Buying games on GOG through their launcher also gives them a cut of the money!
