Thanks for letting everyone know about the giveaway, Mamoulian War! It's great that people have the chance to win a copy of the DLC.

If you own a game on GOG, you will be able to play it on streaming service Luna (subject to availability of said game on that service) for no additional costs. I think Nvidia offered something like this with Steam few years ago, but then cancelled it. So for some people, it might be interesting addition to their services.

It sounds rather odd - the people who purchase on GOG are less likely to trust their continuous access to their purchases to the publishers' whims (or whatever Amazon is). On the other hand, the ones who use streaming services are less likely to bother with backups, which are the main feature of GOG, or concerns about ownership and preservation, while Steam has a wider selection or titles. So, odd.

Indeed, I buy my games mainly on GOG, and I never anticipated something like this to see there. I do backups of every game I purchase, due to the preservation concerns. And I have never expected something like this. But now, that it is here, I am 100% sure, that there might be some games in my catalogue, which I would not mind playing with higher streaming latency when staying at the hotel during my business trip. Well of course only if the service can be run in a browser, as I would not be allowed to install any client inside my work laptop.

I think its a new addition, but Alpha Protocol is available on Gog: https://www.gog.com/en/game/alpha_protocol

There's hope yet for Limbo of the Lost!

StarCrawlers 2 out of early access. I had a lot of fun with the first game, so I can only recommend it. They are only a few people, and the lead guy has been talking to me whenever I have reported a bug in the first game to him, even few years after it's release. And of course, he fixed it in a timely manner.

W40K - Gladius - Relics of War in a giveaway on GOG. To bad, it has billion of DLCs, which cost arm and leg

[melkathi]

Do not see the arm and leg as a sacrifice, but as a chance to replace the weak flesh and come closer to machine perfection.

200 MB of saves per game max on the cloud.  Not a huge deal to me though.

It would be rather unpleasant for the users, but very understandable for GOG. I have used neither Steam nor GOG cloud saves voluntarily (only when the settings were resetting).
