Okay, I see your point, but I’d still say it’s a better license than Steam’s/Epic’s, because the games are DRM free (unless they’ve changed that and I’m not aware of it) and so once I’ve downloaded them, I can then play them whether or not GOG still exists or my “license to use GOG services” was revoked.

you can run most Steam or EGS games without having their respective clients installed

This is not consistent with my personal experience (though admittedly it’s been a while since I’ve tried – maybe a lot of games on Steam are now DRM free).

I’m using Aegis Authenticator and I regularly back up my list to an external file uploaded to my NAS. If my phone dies (which has happened before), I can then just restore the list from the backup ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are they insane? I already have a free tester – the device I want to use the cable on. I would pay maybe $15 for this, but perhaps I am not part of the target market

As a clueless gog-game-buying normie, can you elaborate?

Mine would be “no”

perfect

It’s a different joke tho

Ouch! (Great song tho)

I think the average Joe doesn’t really understand or care about the security risk of such a feature, because they assume that there are competent people at the company who have considered the security risk and took sufficient steps to address it. It’s not by accident that there’s a meme about some guy having a smart fridge and watch and everything, and his friend the IT expert, who doesn’t have a single piece of smart tech and keeps a gun in the kitchen in case the toaster makes a wrong move…

I partially solved this by getting a Steam Deck and playing on my commutes. I can’t say I’ve been plowing through my backlog, but I’m certainly making progress!

Even assuming that they themselves knew where to go, that only works if it’s a guy

Yes! I came here to shill for Comic Mono! I don’t use any other monospace fonts since I started with it.

You spelled TempleOS wrong

Try installing and running a game on GOG through Epic Launcher on a Steam Deck. I have done this in the past haha (it was Witcher 1)

My guy, you are asking me to provide evidence for the claim that something feels to me a certain way. You do realize how silly that is?

Blaming teenage mental illness on social media feels to me like the boomers are trying to find a different scapegoat than all the factors caused by their own stupidity, greed and destruction of human habitat.

Makes me genuinely wonder… I’ve donated blood for like 15 times now – does that make my current blood less saturated with microplastics than if I hadn’t?

oof ouch my bones

That’s fair but you can also use Alt + right/left arrow keys to move forward and back in the page history

I love the name haha

I’m a sucker for clever Pratchett references
