You do you but I don't reject any platform or publisher and treat each game/sale on a case by case basis as it suits me. If the product is good enough I will put up with additional installations.

I use steam, but I moved the files out for games that will still work, as well as buy games on gog and download installers. I dont use gog galaxy cause? wont I have to be online to use my games?

All my backups are on a drive

Who exactly are their core costumers?

So, where can I purchase Nine Sols on GOG?

It's ridiculous that Nine Sols will get a Nintendo Switch release before going on GOG. I guess "many gamers" aren't asking for it - oh wait: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/nine_sols https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/nine-sols-2024

A marketplace that is all DRM-free is good, but when they begin to concede on censorship for the political agendas of certain countries because it might affect their Chinese releases because they have far more of a horse in the race than Valve as a developer does in the Chinese market, you have to balance what you consider a bigger issue: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1809540/Nine_Sols/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/555220/Detention/

It only affects a very small minority of games, so it's up to you whether you consider the censorship a deal breaker. Would a game with an Easter egg criticizing any other country's politics caused the uproar Devotion did? There's no shortage of games that do, and as a central plot element as opposed to a simple Easter egg. Then there's also the fact that GOG insulted people's intelligence with the excuse of "many gamers", specially given their continued silence on other Red Candle Game releases that have no similar issues.

If an art form cannot be used as a means of criticism, then it is not one that is free.

When fundamentals like this are so easily violated under ridiculous premises, further capitulation isn't far behind.

GOG just localize your prices PLEASE.

What did Steam do to offend you?

Fuck GOG.

Might be different, but when they launched what I think is their current launcher, it was still using example code from pre-Windows Vista days. This was 2020 I reach out to them, because my user files were mapped to a NAS, and the legacy example code they used didn't support this. Steam has no issues. Epic had no issues.

All the people wondering why they don't support Linux... Well that's because they use outdated Windows code for their launcher.

GOG has DRM, they call it Galaxy.

Control is on sale atm, btw. It's like $4.
