As the world moves toward digital distribution as the primary source for game sales, many of the biggest publishers and console makers still sell their products with DRM. Even though many of the same games may be available on Steam and GOG Galaxy in the near future, gamers should seriously consider purchasing DRM-free games through GOG Galaxy.
Outside of the growing number existing and forthcoming benefits of GOG Galaxy over Steam, there’s another overall concept that makes GOG Galaxy the better choice: the principle of player choice and customization. From the upcoming update, which will allow players to rollback game updates to customizable achievement and chat features, GOG Galaxy is all about giving the player what they want. Even the client itself is entirely optional.
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.
Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.
It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.
Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.
Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.
Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.
Save the quarters and blast everything to oblivion at home!
looks promising, but still doesnt beat Steam with achievements and trading cards. GoG is not going to kill Steam, not even close.
"No DRM" is the sweetest phrase that I ever heard.
"People don't realize that Steam and publishers can and will shut down their games and make it impossible to play in the future."
1. Highly unlikely that Steam will shut down. Valve is in good financial position, and the worst case scenario would be that it would be sold to someone else.
2. You could always pirate/emulate the games you have bought in case something like that would happen(Which let's be realistic... will not happen)
I backed up my xbla collection to my rgh 360. No DRM so I can use any gamertag. Just no online which is fine with me. They can also be copied to my external hdd incase my 360 hdd ever dies.
I love how suddenly everyone is really hyped about drm-free games when it has never really been an issue in the first place. And everyone who isn't hyped is placed in some pseudo pedagogical box using ancient greek philosophy or something as basis. Steam does everything it's supposed to, and I don't think anyone would boycot it to go join some new unproven service. Look at google+, even though it's superior to facebook in every way, it never replaced it. It's a niche service for kinky people, and you can sit with your nerd glasses on and recite the technical reasons for its superiority all day long, and the world will go on without taking much notice at all. however, congratulations that you have something you see as a better alternative to steam, but derigatorily shittalking about everyone who don't agree is weak.
