I would like to someday see some way, somehow, to launch all my games exclusively through GOG Galaxy rather than running Steam client in fact that's the original reason I downloaded GOG Galaxy to begin with which I got as a beta through some Russian friend. Now what do you get? F'ing Steam points shop instead of Steam sales where you can use your points like some gay ass Chuckee Cheese coupons for some *****y emoticons. Their friends stuff to client worked and was good. You zoomers have got no clue what you're missing from not knowing when Steam was actually good about ten years ago. I will tell you what I want to see happen the most is for me to find some kind of a way to launch my Steam games without ever having to bother with that godawful client again. Holy crap I love GOG over Steam, and sadly Epic just has got a lot of the kinds of problems Steam does only exception being they haven't got the hideous shovelware problem but we're given a bad triple A oriented client instead. But other than DLCs for things I already got stuck with on Steam? I get everything through GOG. I literally only buy s*** on Steam at this point because I'm saddled with all the crap I bought on there over the years which I can't transfer to any other client so I can't just buy the DLCs for it through GOG. I cannot even begin to express how much I f'ing hate Valve and Steam at this point which on top of that I straight up boycotted them back in like end of 2019 because of how broken the client now is and the absolutely toxic sycophantic community there kissing Valve's ass who never help solve the numerous problems every time they do a client "update" breaking s**t and trying to tell you "no it's your system." I've had two separate systems running different hardware, an Intel+nvidia one and all AMD one, an older system on 8.1 and a newer one with Windows10 and newer hardware, which couldn't f'ing launch the games, and had their toxic retarded community tell me endlessly how the problem sure is my hardware my OS anything other than steam's client being broken and bugged. If Valve ever shut down you only actually have *licenses* to effectively rent those games through Valve. ![]() Plus you don't actually own any of your games through Steam. I've had to refund multiple games because Valve just lists them without even making sure it works on modern systems and by modern I mean anything after Windows 7, it's terrible. ![]() You literally should never EVER pay for an older game through Steam. ![]() GOG Galaxy in particular is basically like Steam was back when Steam used to be good, the client is good, there's no horrible bloatware, and the games they sell ACTUALLY WORK. I haven't actually yet bought Dustwind for exactly that reason. In fact I not only don't buy any game on Steam that's available on GOG, I sometimes actually push off paying for crap on Steam if I think there's even a chance on getting it through GOG in the future instead. But if you don't care about multiplayer and don't want to rely on a client, then just don't bother using GOG Galaxy. With one caveat: some games require GOG Galaxy (their version of the Steam client) in order to play multiplayer. You can back these installers up and never have to be connected to the internet or sign into GOG again. So once you buy the game, you can go to your Library, DL the files and install them without needing any internet connection. If I buy a game off GOG can I open and launch said game from files? Or do I have to be logged on? GOG provides off-line DRM-free installers with their games. ![]() I don't have the luxury of going into files and manually launching the game. Here's what I know: DRM platforms keep your games in a bank that's closed when you're offline (Sunday). I've only been into PC gaming for a couple years and the transition to a new platform was confusing. I'm an idiot, so please help me understand. I just made a GOG account a few mins ago and my biggest question is this: "How is GOG DRM free?" SuddenDelay: I've been thinking about making the change from Steam to GOG for a while.
