Darkproject Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 As much as I like GOG, Steam makes it really easy to re-download my library when I make room for other stuff or change computers. That's where I'll be playing. 1
Zack Fair Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 GOG only, if I can help it. I'm fed up with Steam when it comes to sharing games. Sure, you can share your library, but you can't play with others with the same game, at the same time. With GOG, I can "lend" the game to my brother, just like in the CD-no DRM times. 1 J_C from Codexia
Silverstar Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 All DRM, steam included, can go to hell. I avoid it when possible. So GoG for me. 1
Xaratas Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I´ll go with GOG. As I´m a strong supporter of DRM-free gaming this isn´t a surprise, is it? :D Why do we need such a download portal in the first place? Because Obsidian got no way to offer the installers as a download from their own side! (they don´t got that massive bandwidth) Therefor Blizzard has a Bittorrent distribution in their launcher frontends (besides their surely bigger servers. But you can rent a cloudfront/aws/… distribution network for the expected spike in the next few weeks.) More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
ryukenden Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I always been a big GoG fan but I might go with steam on this one. I haven't have many paid steam games in my collection. As much as I hate DRM, steam offers pre-load and quick update.

Fluffboll Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I love achievements, which is a plus for steam but I will still go with GoG because I simply like them better. "How was I supposed to know it was that stone that held the dragons at bay... I mean it just stood there looking dull anyway"
KingNee Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 We had a choice of steak or fish. Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna 2 - How can I live my life if I can't even tell good from evil? - Eh, they're both fine choices. Whatever floats your boat.
Nonek Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 And stop calling me Shirley. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
teknoman2 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 my tier has 2 keys so i get 1 each and i dont need to worry about a thing The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.
mungomunk Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 DRMfree is on top of my list for any game, so yeah GOG
Ganrich Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Going with Steam for Auto-Update and Pre-load. I will buy another copy soon from gog though. DRM free is delicious. Once gog gets their Galaxy app out of beta... then I will likely go gog every time when given the choice.
Mamoulian War Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Steam. Because I was less than happy with my GoG version of Wasteland 2. Missed a patch, the next one wasn't compatible with my version any more, had to download the full client again instead of a few MB. Sucks if you're on a slow DSL connection. I love GoG, but usually only buy older titles from them. GoG support in this case sends the link to the missing patch by e-mail, if you ask them nicely.

bigdogchris Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) GoG; because I don't like that Steam maintains ownership of your games. Any time they decide to pull the plug or think you've done something wrong on your account, you lose everything. With GoG you buy it and it's yours and they can't take it away. The concerns regarding GoG and their patching mechanism will be resolved once they ship the Galaxy client. Edited March 25, 2015 by bigdogchris 4
EvilSuperNinja Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Does the steam version force you to open the game through their launcher(steamworks)? Or is steam just used as a platform?
Halsy Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Why do we need such a download portal in the first place? Agreed. I don't see why we can't DL it separately and just keep in on a USB key or disc or the like if it's DRM free anyway. That's one of the reasons I backed it on KS. Midget soothsayer robs bank. Small medium at large!
DruidX Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Does the steam version force you to open the game through their launcher(steamworks)? Or is steam just used as a platform? I think you need to launch through Steam (hence the "DRM" part) Join the Orcz and help scribe everything that goes on in the world of Pillars of Eternity! The Unofficial Pillars of Eternity Wiki

Taziar Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Steam, because GOG is taking too damn long to finish their launcher/patcher. 1
