People don't have to be forced to use GOG so there's people that actually like them, and offering DRM free games with offline installers is pretty pro consumer.

GOG has been closer to offering the more mainstream indies and big studio titles that interest me. I guess itch library doesn't really appeal as often to my tastes.

I wonder what the most popular controller to use on PC is in Japan. Xbox is plug and play, but Xbox controllers aren't popular. So would Nintendo or Sony controllers be the most popular with improvements in steam input?

You are just ignoring that the installers can be downloaded and saved. Or even just the game directory can continue to work.

For people who value that it is a difference. Even how the game works is different with how some don't work offline or lose ability to function offline once verification expires compared to non DRM counterparts.

You are an idiot acting as if DRM and DRM free is the same as though some license terms is the only determining factor.

That GOG downloaded installers can't be forcibly deactivated or taken away? Your phrasing is confusing so I don't think people are able to tell whether you think GOG installers are a good or bad thing, or acting like it is useless and provides no further benefit than DRM alternatives.

Ummm... That's the case for disc games too of only being able to retain possession once it's shipped to you and you properly store it. Or any tangible good for that matter. I don't what point you are trying to make.

Those are terminologies corporations care about. But, for real life use there is a difference between a product that can be remotely taken away and products that can't. Otherwise could be argued there is no difference between a pirated copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 and a legit one, which there is once you try to play offline.

Especially competition that actually delivers something unique a segment of the population wants as opposed to simply existing. Their DRM free stance and standalone installers are a pro consumer move giving control back to the consumer once they download the files.

Yeah itch lacks the bigger titles GOG has been able to pull.

Also pcpartpicker to track pc parts. Isthereanydeals for game prices.

Their entire video is an ad filled experience of shilling not only their sponsors but themselves. Incredibly obnoxious and cramming in every YouTube stereotype from begging for likes and subs to clickbait titles and then insisting they have to do it so they can have their cake and eat it makes them even more obnoxious than if they just did it without wanting to be forgiven for it.

Instead of going to the Android community it goes to /c/all when I try to visit while logged into lemmy.ca. I tried logging out and back in to see if that would solve it.
