Steam also doesn't give you 'Software' anymore, but access to 'Content and Services'

Steam only offers you a "contract" where you can lose ownership at any moment.

Did you miss the bit where GOG faked closing down to promote a re-launch? http://www.pcgamer.com/gog-com-apologise-for-hoax-closure/

We're beholden to all of these services license agreements - if they enter financial straits, they can close at the drop of a hat and all purchases are defunct.

I agree with you i was just trying to say that GOG prices are higher then steam for me, nothing more nothing less.
I currently have around 200 games for GOG so i try to support them.

Actually GOG may offer DRM free but you still do not fully own the game you are just getting it without any DRM.You never owned the game when you use to have them on DISK you merely had the right to use said content on said media.When you resold it you where by passing it because it was legal to sell the media but not the software.

In fact if you lose your account you are suppose to delete your games just the same as with a cd/movie if you sell the copy you are suppose destroy any backups or mp3.Though technically if you live in the U.S. just merely by passing the copy protection is actually illegal now.

I am not sure where people get this notion you some how have more rights using GOG,you are still only getting a license to use said software just it does not have any DRM.So if for some reason you lose your account legally you are no longer suppose to use the games because you no longer have rights to use said content.As i said though given that it is DRM free and can be stored anywhere there is little they could do to enforce it if you already have backups.

The same with DISK there was little they could do to enforce the TOS you agreed to before installing the game so even if they told you to delete said copies or installed games after you sell/give away the game.There was little they could due to enforce that.The digital ages now lets Publishers enforce those TOS a lot more.Also there was one time use serials before Steam,they just where needed to play online on official servers but still allowed you to install the game and play offline digital also stops that.

I am for GOG because of the DRM free so no client needed or internet to play.There are some exceptions to that like Dying Light needs the client to play online but not to play offline.

In the end though neither one of them allow you full rights to own said game and never did even when you owned physical copies,after all someone else holds the rights to the content on the media and for you to fully own it would mean you would have to own all the rights to them.

hahaha, it's hilarious when stores do the $=€=£
I'd wanna pay with Zimbabwean dollars

Thanks!!

GOG is strictly DRM-free. It doesn't mean that a certain game is DRM-free everywhere. Humble routinely provides a DRM-free download and a Steam key. Steam doesn't define itself as DRM, rather as a distribution platform offering optional DRM features to publishers. And to be honest, it's a fairly open one.

In a perfect world, if you ask me, keys would be shared across all platforms and we wouldn't be discussing such things. :)

Well, that's it: when you buy on GOG, you don't even see a key in most cases. It's not like GamersGate, where their downloads may need a CD key at installation (like in the old days): you buy the game at GOG, you download an EXE, it installs the game in a whiff, and that's it. The game never asks for authentication, the installer can be used by anyone any time, anywhere, any amount of times to receive the same game.

Both Direct2Drive and GamersGate were essentially dumped by their owners and have since done a lot of Not Much. I don't know anyone who still buys at those places. At least compare to GMG or exotic & tropical pages like Nuuvem.

Yes. To be honest, I really like gog much more than Steam.
