Hello ever buddy I just recently rediscover Project Eternity (PE) and my mind was blown again .
It is been a long time since I heard about PE, and I can't understand how I could have lost track of this game.
Anyway, I'm happy to see it again and here is my actual question:
What would you choose, steam or GOG?
I have a steam account and I have purchased some game via GOG, but I fail to see the benefits of being DRM-free when it comes to digital distribution. Can someone evaluate for me where the advantage and disadvantage is in buying the game via steam or GOG? I mean, I can't resell a digital copy of a game like I could to it with a boxed game, and I can't borrow it to someone, so where are the advantages?
Looking into the future I think that steam is very consumer friendly. You can user your power PC, and stream the game via a smaller notebook on you big TV screen, or even switch to a steam box. They store your games, so you don’t lose them (well if they get insolvent you lose it), and you can install it on any of your devices by using your account, even on SteamOS.
Of course they could do more, like allowing reselling your right to play a game you bought a long time ago. Reselling games is damaging the marked only in the very first months anyway. (I think that steam even violates the European law, by not allowing us to resell something that you own (but that is OT)).
On GOG on the other hand you get the game DRM-Free. But what exactly are the benefits?
