GOG.com

There are also devs who would refuse to put their games on GoG because they think having a DRM free version will allow it to be pirated more easily.

This happens often, actually, and that's all I have to say on the subject.

Of course it does. But that's hardly GoG's fault, happens to Steam Crap, too. But you know what would be even worse as a developer than having your game pirated? NOT having your game pirated. If nobody gives enough of a fuck to pirate your game, your game is dogshit. If I made a game, I would be disappointed if it didn't get pirated.

GOG is doing Early Access now :

http://af.gog.com/game/project_zomboid?as=1649904300

Some nice games in there

Would be cool to see the new Torment later.

Ugh...

Edit:

Patching is going to be a pain

 

[tormund]

Project Zomboid is STILL in EA?

 

[Alienman]

It will probably be in EA for another 5 years.

 

[Siveon]

That game is the very definition of vaporware. But the EA is still somewhat entertaining, if not STILL barebones.

 

[Archibald]

Was hoping that GoG would ignore crap like this. Oh well, time to find new shop.

Not if you are using galaxy. I am using it and can downgrade witcher 3 to version whichever i want. Something that Steams refuses to do now.

More than that Steam like a year ago introduced change to their policy and you will not be able to refuse patching as Steam checks game everytime you run it OR automatically there is no No update option.

Hoow is Galaxy doing right now? It kept patching Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl for some reason, which caused errors later, so I dropped it.

Imo fine. Still sometimes needs to login out of blue but overall never had any problems with it even in beta.

Also client is totaly optional. You can run any game i think without Galaxy even when you install it via it.

 

[octavius]

Paying for Early Access, isn't that just a fancier word for paying to be a Beta tester? Or am I missing something (other than the impatience of a four year old)?

Have you tried it recently? There have been some updates to Galaxy so perhaps it won't display this behavior for you now...

 

[pippin]

Will try again soon, but I'd rather wait until the client is fully operational.

 

[Cerulean]

I'm starting into Shadow of Chernobyl right now, using the Zone Restoration Pack, but running it from inside GOG Galaxy. Does that mean Galaxy is going to keep trying to clobber the ZRP install?

 

[Archibald]

I'm fine with Galaxy too, but looking at how things are going its probably only a matter of time before it becomes as bloated with shit as Steam client.

1. Don't "Verify & Repair" the game.

2. Disable updates for it.

and Galaxy will not mess with your install.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Really?I always thought that the main issue was Source and Valve having some clause that its games can be only on Steam or something similar

Not true. Consortium uses Source engine.
http://af.gog.com/forum/consortium_..._become_a_folder_steam_appidtxt?as=1649904300

The game is made in Source, which is Steam's engine so some Steam artifacts such as the text file mentioned in the OP are to be expected.

We've updated the game to version 1.25 and before we released the updated version we've verified that Steam is not required at all in order to play the game.

My Gog version popping Steam overlay was truly a WTF moment.

Also released Bombshell
http://af.gog.com/game/bombshell?as=1649904300

 

[JudasIscariot]

My Gog version popping Steam overlay was truly a WTF moment.

Yeah sorry about that. It was a WTF moment for us too but we asked the developers about this and they assured us that the GOG version of the game is not dependent on Steam, which we've verified ourselves

Awesome, looks like I'll be playing Telepath Tactics fairly soon. :D

Now there is a chance that someone actually play SitS and do review.

If you really want a review, buy someone a key on the condition they do the review
