So the copy is entirely mine and I can do what I want with it.
Ethan Barnes
How is it different from downloading the same copy off another website? GOG installers are literally identical and don't require any login/authentication no matter where you get them.
>How is it different from downloading the same copy off another website? If there's no DRM, there's no difference. If there is DRM, it's completely different.
Aaron Robinson
whats the point of buying things with DRM when you can crack pretty much every DRM?
Isaac Diaz
Yeah it sucks now that GOD is kill. That website used to host all the latest updates merely hours after they go live.
Logan Davis
OP doesn't actually know what DRM is or what he's asking, that's why he sounds like a fucking retard. Might as well be asking why I don't want fecal matter in my food without understanding what fecal matter is in the first place.
Jayden Perez
I much rather support people that trust their customers enough to not add DRM.
Juan Watson
Some people want to support devs and GOG for what they do and show that old games are still loved and played. I also personally support them because they are really pro consumer unlike other stores.
Lucas Gray
>Paying for objectively inferior versons of games you can get for free Buyfags are literal cucks
>just download the very same installer exe from another website I assume you're talking about pirating. Whether or not a game has DRM doesn't really make pirating more difficult (except Denuvo protected games, but those usually get cracked eventually). The main reason I buy games in either case is when I want to support the developer.
Nicholas Young
I smell some serious chinkery on this OP
Zachary Anderson
>Hello fellow video gamers. I only buy video games which have DRM protection. You don't buy DRM-free games, do you? That's basically piracy so you might as well just pirate those. Buy games with DRM though. Don't pirate those ones. Who paid you to make this post?
Retard alert, ever read gog's tos? You don't own shit, it's literally the same as buying in any other store Then buy straight from dev and don't support scummy sites like gog
Caleb Sanders
DRM means that you don't own shit. No DRM means you own it.
So, let's say epic crushes steam, and they go under (or the other way around) that means you can no longer play those games at all. You have no right to them after the business goes under. No internet? No games. The store you got them from bans you, no games. A game gets delisted, fuck you, you can't play it unless it was already on your PC. Etc.
No DRM means you own it, and no one can take it from you. Back it up, play it when your internet is down, get banned and laugh it off. Etc.
Only a faggot, corperate cock barnicle would choose DRM.
Hunter Morales
Not DRM related but I dislike how Steam tracks my playtime. It causes my latent autism to rear it’s head and make me feel like like I’m playing to watch the numbers go up rather than playing for raw enjoyment. GOG is better in this regard
>GOG installers are literally identical and don't require any login/authentication no matter where you get them. And this is somehow bad?
Ayden Diaz
Tell me about that time you were able to sell your GOG games to someone else lmao. Fucking retard.
They're still just digital licenses.
Aaron Williams
>scummy sites like gog That's some juicy bait there user
Jaxson Bell
you are a subhuman retard and deserve to be skinned alive
Nathan Walker
>scummy sites like gog Ruined your bait with this. Pls try again harder next time.
Gavin Walker
Again, you don't know what DRM is or what you're asking.
Nolan Long
>Is it just a virtue signalling thing Yes people buying video games is virtue signaling obviously
Luis Jones
DRM means the thing needs to check whenever you have the rights to play it or not you fucking retard, you don't own shit, read their fucking tos and don't talk out of your ass ever again, you pay for a licence that can be revoked if you ever break their tos >B-but I get to keep my installer even if they revoke my license so it's mine! Yeah? Just like playing offline mode with any of the other launchers, stop shilling that website, thankfully is finally dying so I don't have to deal with you anymore
Gavin Clark
Is this falseflagging thread or a pretending to be retarded thread because I refuse to believe someone is this stupid.
the literal only thing you get from buying even drmed software is to "own" it. you can pirate the latest steam exclusive just as fucking easily as gog, stop pretending people only buy games for muh exclusivity from poorfags or whatever you are implying
Asher Sullivan
is this the new corporatecucks strategy?
Joshua Williams
>Just like playing offline mode with any of the other launchers Those require Internet activation at some point, retard.
Grayson Thomas
I give them money so that DRM free services and development don't cease to exist. its not a difficult concept
Chase Robinson
You are retarded. I hope you die a horrible death and rid us of your stupidity.
Levi Scott
retarded cucks
Benjamin Brooks
OP is a retard don't bother explaining to him what should've been obvious to him from the start.
Benjamin Rivera
I buy DRM-free because I like to vote with my wallet.
Cooper Gomez
Nice try. Stay cucked.
Asher Campbell
COPE
Benjamin Jones
Yeah, the first time you open them, just like when you need internet to download your shitty gog copy
Caleb Martin
go kill yourself my man
Benjamin Garcia
Hope you're at least doing your research. For example, the new DLC for A Hat in Time will be missing all online features and multiplayer in the GOG version while it costs exact same as on Steam.
There's so many games like that.
Grayson Thomas
cope with what retard? you are the one coping hard here
Jack Lee
I buy DRM free in hopes that more stuff comes out DRM free.
Connor Lopez
SEETHING
Ryder Miller
DRM free > meme online features kill yourself steam drone
Jaxson Mitchell
keep coping you cucklord
Robert Diaz
I mean, yeah. But you don't have to revalidate every time you install it. I don't understand why you're opposed to it.
Justin Peterson
It's cheaper on GOG because of the missing online, at least where I'm from. Only reason it's missing it in the first place is because it's using some brand new steam API to run on.
Cooper Sullivan
>ctrl+f retard >11 hits in a 48 post thread nice

>you need internet to download your shitty gog copy How is Steam better in this regard? And anyways, you can't play Steam backups in some place without Internet, with GOG you can.
Not fault neither from GOG nor the DRM-free system. There are lots of ways to offer DRM-free multiplayer, like RakNet and Qtracker and so on and so on.
Oliver Clark

Steam may have DRM but their refund policy in comparison looks like Mother Theresa to GoG's Stalin
>retard calling other people retarded don't bring me down on your level, you retarded fucking cuck.
Jacob Allen
Not against, is just that everyone keeps praising it like it is the best pc store there is, far from it, their tos are just as bad as the others, true drm free would be if you got an anonymous download link that is always up to date and has all revisions of the game, now you are just getting Steam without the online verification, gog is not true drm free, break their tos, game gone, thanks for your money. I don't support propaganda.
Nathaniel Thompson
>another retard Kill yourself. If the game doesn't work they always give back a refund. But if you are so much of a faggot that you don't even attempt to use the fix that support have suggested, you don't deserve a refund.
Dominic Brooks
>true drm free would be if you got an anonymous download link >i don't know what's DRM >has all revisions of the game This would be nice, tho.
Connor Perez
is this the "PC physical only" guy
John Morgan
So GOG in particular is super extra bad, just because in some ways it's the same as other digital distribution sites.
You still haven't given us an actual reason not to buy from GOG, unless you're saying we shouldn't buy games at all.
It looks like it. I prefer physical PC games too, but this asshole is a dense motherfucker.
Alexander Cox
The "drm free" experience gog gives
Robert Green
ITT: We pretend we know things and somehow steam's the good guy
Thomas Morgan
People who buy games on GOG believe they are good boys and deserve a karma cookie by throwing money onto the screen. The only reason ever why would you buy a game is to get certain services. Achievements, multiplayer, trading, backups, mod support, automatic updates, social features and so on.
The only ones who pay for anything but the service itself are mindless drones handing out charity bucks to nigger hobos under the bridge.
>mod support now requires DRM Thanks for this, Valve.
Noah White
Based retard
Nathaniel Flores
Mostly yeah. But steam is a cancer I would like to avoid opening it all else equal. I like just downloading a game and having it work for all eternity, no launcher BS required. But it would be dumb to pay extra, or not buy a game just because it has DRm/uses steam.
John Perry
Use gog, support gog, just don't shill it as it were the best store there is, gog is far from perfect
Levi Clark
You know physucal games have ToS too, right?
Brayden Rogers
you download the game from them and it is yours forever same as a physical copy
Nathan Allen
>Game removed Removed from where, retard? You have it saved on a DVD/external hard drive already. Kill yourself.
Austin Walker
Yes, but gog is promoting drm free, that isn't drm free, buying physical also isn't drm free in most cases
Owen Ramirez
>The only reason ever why would you buy a game is to get certain services. Achievements, multiplayer, trading, backups, mod support, automatic updates, social features and so on. Are you literally me? Weird that nobody else ITT is realizing this simple truth.
More like one-click mod installs from the workshop, giving access to the official hub where you can get all the updates for the mod and suck creator's weenie
Jace Powell
You no longer get access to the latest copy of the game, you get to keep a copy that has now become illegal, congrats, that's different from piracy how?
Owen Cooper
>break their tos, game gone, thanks for your money. I don't support propaganda. This is 100% false. They couldn't even do this if they wanted to. Do you think they send someone to your house to fucking uninstall all your GoG games?
Austin Peterson
Okay. Did you knew that you can buy the game, download it and burn it in a Blu-ray Disc gives you a copy that GOG could never remove from your ownership?
Isaiah Russell
...
Ryder Watson
>You have it saved on a DVD/external hard drive already. Do you honestly believe the majority of GOG customers or even 2% of them bother backing up their whole library to an external HDD in the case of a zombie apocalypse or some shit? LMAO talk about being delusional
Carson Bennett
a dedicated place to download and redownload your purchases a centralized place to take your "cant get X" working questions to, at least to a reasonable degree
Connor Bennett
Steam backups are literally worthless.
Austin Rogers
Yes, an outdated, illegal copy, amazing, just like pirating, except you are down 20 bucks or whatever the game was
James Perry
And that's GOG's fault because?...
Justin Bailey
They are very useful for modding games which can turn into an unplayable mess. Like Elder Scrolls franchise for example. Paste shitloads of mods into the folder, test it, do a few clicks, restore the backup, paste other mods, compare
Jace Morgan
I think you don't fully understand what DRM free means, retard.
Oliver Parker
You can put it on a harddrive and keep it forever even if gog goes out of business.
Henry Reed
That is a pretty fucking big goalpost move bud. >how can my version of VTMB be DRM free, if it doesnt give me access to VTMB 2!?!? You are buying the game. You get the game. You are not buying unlimited access to GoG servers, nor the entitlement to guaranteed updates from the devs. Basically, I buy a game from GoG, download it and install it. But then I get banned. If there is never another update for that game it is DRM free? if there is an update suddenly it has DRM, because I do not have that update installed? You are buying the game as is, and it is DRM free.
Jackson Cox
If you're buying a game that needs constant updates, then that's on you for being a fucking retard.
Brayden Kelly
I don't care for fucking with DOSBox to get my favorite old games running, if chucking 20 dollars at GOG gets me all the Ultima games and I don't have to get a seizure setting it up then it's worth it.
Samuel Perry
and this is GOG's fault how?
Jace Walker
But why would you pay for the copy to keep it forever?
OP is an actual braindead retard who thinks Polish military will hack his computer when he copies his Witcher save file onto a USB stick.
Luis Bennett
What does that have to do with anything? Just because a majority of people dont do it doesnt mean it isnt useful. You are a retard.
Kevin Adams
It is the best store there is. I agree it has a few flaws but linguistically speaking "best" refers to what's available now.
It's not illegal. It's like you buy a car, and then a month later you go the dealership and shit on the floor, bam, banned for life. They don't come and take your car, you bought it, you're just not entitled to any support or to be able to buy new cars at that dealership.
Lucas Morris
>getting banned from GOG Oh so OP is a salty faggot that got banned. What did you do retard?
Benjamin Adams
Support the dev's, I mean you can always pirate the game but DRM free also makes that easier so win/win.
Cooper Nelson
>Whats the point of buying things when robbing the owner has the same results?
Because I still want the developer to make money.
Camden King
what? I am trying to understand the logic of I didn't even know you could get fucking banned from GoG.
Isaac Nelson
Watch out, he doesn't understand the concept of buying a car. Leasing is all he knows.
Nolan Lopez
I don't think he's OP.
Dominic Kelly
>People who buy games on GOG believe they are good boys and deserve a karma cookie by throwing money onto the screen. Posting it with a shitty meme image doesn't make it true. >The only reason ever why would you buy a game is to get certain services.

So I don't know what point you think you're making.
Dylan Stewart
>steam is a social media service Thank you for illustrating why GoG is better kind user.
Ryder Allen
I don't think there are actual records of an actual GOG ban.
Multiplayer too.
Jonathan Rogers
Go away retard. It is obvious that you are banned or you wouldn't be bringing it up.
Michael Price
Please, read the terms of agreement of Gog, it is illegal, you aren't buying a game, you buy a license to play it, if that license gets revoked then you have no right to play the game, even if you have the installer and even if you can use it it is illegal for you to play it, you have become a pirate
Michael Taylor
I didn't bring it up.... Did. Jesus christ newfag. Try learning how replies work and read the thread.
Jaxson Perry
He is 100% someone that was banned on GOG and is here REEEing at GOG. Whether it is OP or not doesn't matter.
Parker Reyes
>if that license gets revoked then you have no right to play the game That applies to pretty much every game ever. Which is your realistic solution?
Jace Bell
>GOG Galaxy has achievements Except most devs don't give a fuck about GOG achievements and even CD Project Red never bothered updating Witcher 2 to support achievements on GOG.
Cooper Lee
That is not actually how ToS agreements work.
Logan Campbell
It's an hypothetical scenario.
Andrew Adams
This thread was made by a genuine retard.
Jackson Phillips
There isn't one, fight for one, gog certainly isn't
William Gutierrez
I am defending GoG you illiterate third worlder.
Nolan Bell
Why are you implying that GOG doesn't offer a service? Regardless of whether you think it adds monetary value, GOG is known for having updated old games to work with modern operating systems. Whether it means fixing actual bugs or just packaging with DOSBox/ScummVM depends on the game, but either way they're providing a service beyond just giving you the raw files. See also .
Brayden Garcia
>''achievements'' LMAO, go away zoomer.
James Hall
You buy a perpetual one time license of a game whenever there isn't any predefined expiration date. Please, watch this: youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw
Isaac Davis
And that's GOG's fault because?
I'm quite OK with having games that don't require online activation. Fuck off please.
Brandon Williams
read gog's terms of service, they have the right to revoke your license
Reading comprehension? I was replying to you not at you, ameritard much?
Matthew Mitchell
No they legally don't. You can't defy the law in a EULA.
Nathan Lee
Well, we won't be having true drm free then, continue being a good boy and don't break their tos, otherwise you will realize you wasted your money as your copies have become basically pirated
Adam Miller
any lawfags happen to be here that can give precedence on this? can someone realistically be sued for using software they paid for after a company revoked their licence, provided they arent circumventing any shutdown mechanisms that come with the revocation?
Aaron Fisher
So, Is GOG good or bad after all?
Noah Lewis
They can and they will, if you want to fight it you will have to take them to court over it which will cost you much more than just rebuying the game.
Gavin Murphy
It makes it a fuck ton easier to pirate games, so more of a good guy I guess.
Obviously, ever head of Windows? It is good, it isn't better than the other stores tho, and certainly isn't true drm free as they can remove your games and also don't allow you to sell them
Robert Reyes
It's great. Support them and hopefully some more big ticket games come to it. We're getting close, but a lot of companies just treat it as a pseudo dumping ground of old games, like Bethesda.
>bro if in the eula it says they cut off your penis if you defy them it's 100% legal bro EULAs have been shown to be thrown out of courts due to their overbearing verbosity and general misrepresentation of the law.
A) private contracts do not deem if anything is legal or illegal. In breach of a contract, and illegal are different things. B) they exist to protect the issuer from legal recourse. Not to stop you using the product. For example, if you sign a waiver to go bungie jumping that says they are not liable if you fuck around and break your leg, that means you cant sue them if you fuck around and break your leg(you actually still probably can, but that is a whole nother discsuion) it does not mean, because you violated the ToS you are suddenly "illegally." bungie jumping. How this translates to games licensing is simple. The ToS usually covers their not being responsible for any problems or if the game doesnt work. You agree for them to steal all your data, and you agree they can deny you access to the servers for example. Meaning they can ban you and you cant sue them. That does not mean, however that they have any legal recourse against you running the game if it still works. Which DRM free games do. At best they could say you are infringing their copyright. However, you are not actually making or distributing unlicensed copies, since you are using the copy they sold you. There is nothing in the criminal code that says you cant do that. Which means it is not illegal. Civil law is a bit greyer, but it is not really going against any copyright laws. AS long as you dont give those copies to people they cant sue you.
Isaac Lewis
Why the hell are you going to buy again a game that you already have installed on your PC and it works?
Oliver Fisher
no, the user mentioning ToC is retarded. That is to protect THEM, for banning you, denying you access to servers, shutting down servers, breaking the game etc.
Isaiah Thomas
Get a job, NEET moocher.
Isaiah Garcia
I can understand a business being sued for operating with an expired or revoked windows license as they are using software illegally to make money. a home user though?

>Literally what's the point of buying things that are DRM free? Can somebody please explain this to me? >You get exact same experience, whether you buy it or just download the very same installer exe from another website. >Is it just a virtue signalling thing that some yuppies do?
Funny that you ask this the same day that Epic has literally removed Rocket League from steam. DRM free games means that would never happen.
Jonathan Powell
>According to the legal technicalities outlined in the terms of service, GOG doesn't give you more ownership over a game than Steam does. Therefore you shouldn't buy from GOG. Keep buying from Steam though, because lol I don't know hurr durr I'm sick of these retarded threads.
If I buy a game from Steam, there's a good chance that the game doesn't run without running Steam. If I buy a game from GOG, I can make a working backup and run it on any computer I want, without logging in to GOG ever again. I don't give a rat's dick about the remote possibility of GOG revoking my game license, because they would be powerless to take the game away from me.
Jaxon Wood
Unlike you, I'm not an idealist retard and I know that GOG.com gone only will worsen the PC landscape. Hell, most of the indies and publisher-owned titles they sell aren't available DRM-free anywhere else (something I hate, by the way).
Hunter Thomas
How would vidya industry's economy look like if everyone will be able to sell their digital copies? What is supposed to stop people from reselling unlimited copies of their games? So vidya dev companies will receive a $60 (minus taxes and tips) check for their job while someone will resell copies by lower price?
>if I buy a game on GOG I can easily pirate it wew lad, why not just pirate it in the first place and skip the "buy" part
Isaiah Cooper
OP is an absolute fucking retard, but I have to say, the situation with Rocket League doesn't really have anything to do with DRM.
Presumably, people who have Steam copies of the game will keep them. Games have been removed from the Steam store before, but such games are almost never removed from user libraries. If people who bought the game on Steam can still play it then I don't see how the game being DRM-free would change anything.
David Rogers
Why not just pirate games from Steam or Epic or whatever store you're shilling?
I've never heard of GOG revoking anyone's license to play a game.
Nathan Ramirez
>go to the store >buy a DRM free copy of a game own it forever >that's fine >buy game from GoG >now it suddenly has DRM because I have to download it. ??? Also how the fuck do you get banned from GoG?
Because I vote with my wallet and support games doing things I like, such as DRM free games.
Daniel Davis
>DRM free games means that would never happen. That absolutely would. I am sure tonnes of games have been delisted from GoG.
Anthony Wilson
Like Fez because of that tweet.
Wyatt Walker
I'm pretty sure they're still in user libraries, and of course you have the ability to back it up yourself.
Angel Bell
LOL! I forgot about that retard.
Dominic Rodriguez
Not even Schafer was this retarded.
Ryan Cooper
GOG does not have a digital rights management system like the steam launcher.
Can we end this thread now?
Julian Hall
ah ok that makes sense, thanks for the brief user
Joseph Lewis
>I'm pretty sure they're still in user libraries Like every game to ever be delisted from Steam, and like Sweeney says no matter rocketleague will be? Based and redpilled.
Brayden Foster
That is correct. You do not get the permanent right to play it as you don't buy a game but a license to play that game and that can be revoked. There, you can close the thread now.
Jacob Hill
Making a backup of a game for personal use is not piracy.
Nolan Foster
No, you must pirate games that are sold on GOG because they don't have DRM.
Henry Foster
And that's pretty much every game and store ever, with the difference this store guarantees that I can play without Internet activation always, something that few stores compromise to.
Christopher King
I'm pretty fucking sure GOG doesn't want you to buy 1 copy and then share the exe with all of your friends.
Zachary Lee
That isn't personal use now is it.
Robert Walker
Giving copies to friends is not the same as making a backup for personal use. Why are you completely changing the subject?
Jeremiah Morris
You do get the permanent right though. Do they ever say what license it is they revoke? Is it the license to access their servers (completely reasonable) or is it the license to the game itself.
that isn't what "backup" means but keep being stupid.
Christian Rodriguez
Correct, therefore gog isn't much different than the other stores it competes with
The guarantee that ever game bought there will work without third party accounts required nor Internet activation is the difference.
Joshua Sanders
Nobody implied that GOG is doesn't provide a service, thread itself isn't some fanboy Valve vs CDPR war. It's just a fact on what consumers are really getting in return for their money, and the only pragmatic way to look at this entire piracy debate. GOG is a service, just like Steam. Except that fanboys of the latter realize it, while fans of the former believe they are holy angels sent on Earth to erase developer poverty and deliver good games into the world by using their credit cards.
>8.1 With certain GOG content you may be able to purchase or acquire virtual items and/or virtual currency (we’ll call them “Virtual Goods” for short). Virtual Goods are subject to this Agreement and in particular the following default rules, unless there are specific rules for that GOG content (which will prevail over these rules).
>With some GOG content you can buy virtual items/currency. Opposite are the default rules (unless specific rules apply for specific virtual items/currency).
>8.2 Virtual Goods are digital items only with no cash-value or real world existence and cannot be ‘bought’, ‘sold’, gifted, transferred or redeemed, whether or not for other Virtual Goods, ‘real world’ money, goods, services or items of monetary value. Trading Virtual Goods is prohibited (unless you are specifically permitted to do so). Your right to use any Virtual Goods is limited to a limited, nonexclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use them solely for your personal entertainment and non-commercial use in the applicable GOG content. You have no property interest or right or title in any Virtual Goods, which remains the appropriate publisher’s property. Virtual Goods may be changed, amended or reversed if necessary, including to enforce this Agreement. If necessary, limits may be placed on the use of Virtual Goods (including transaction limits and balance amounts). I see. But again, how will they enforce it? Rules and laws are useless without proper enforcement, which they don't bother with, so it's basically non applicable.
It gives them legal cover to revoke your access, it does NOT deny you the right to try and access it anyway. It says they are allowed to take away your toys. Not that they can magically sue you for playing with them.
Parker Myers
its zoomers. millenials (late 80s-90s) generally don't like drm or at the very least do not defend it
Luke Ward
Nah I'm an avid Steam customer, but I ignore GOG sales and pretty much just pirate GOG games for "demo"ing shit that I'll be picking up later on Steam anyway
Doesn't make much sense to me to spend the same amount but get an inferior version with none of the awesome Steam features.
Isaac Cruz
by support I mean be in favour of, not necessarily spend
Jaxson Gray
>none of the awesome Steam features. Like broken old games?
Michael Morgan
>shit, I'm losing, I guess I'll just move these goal posts into the next county I hope you realize how completely retarded you are.
Julian Russell
Besides workshop, what doesn't have GOG Galaxy that Steam has?
That thread is about games whose publishers or developers have been too lazy to give the latest updates and DLC to the GOG versions of their games. The post to which you replied was an inquiry about which Steam features are missing on the GOG platform.
A better answer to his question would be, for example, cloud saves. Although maybe GOG has those too now. I'm not sure.
Alexander Watson
Every classic game treats steam as a second class citizen to be fair.
Grayson Miller
...
Jose Clark
GoG has cloud saves. I do think it's an opt in thing, but they're there. I use it a bunch with Stardew Valley.
Leo Jones
so how about you not do that? just buy the game and keep a copy for yourself in case all the internet based services go down? maybe
Are you ? Because both posts make false statements about what GOG users are thinking when they buy from GOG. Stop pretending to be a mind-reader, because you're not even good at faking it.
GOG is a service, and fanboys of GOG are people who like that service.
Zachary Martinez
I dunno, how about fucking multiplayer support for starters? So many GOG versions are gutted and have no multiplayer at all.
Ryan Reyes
Thanks. I wasn't sure.
Gavin Phillips
Yeah, you don't know shit what are you talking about.
James Garcia
Economics. You desire a good or service someone has produced, which they make available at a price. If you find this price agreeable, you pay it, obtaining the benefits of the good or service in exchange, while the one who has labored to provide it is rewarded with additional resources they will spend to produce additional goods and services. Failure to acquire sufficient resources means further production must be put on hold indefinitely, a crushing blow to the producer and consumer both. The producer is deprived of their livelihood, and the consumer is denied the benefit of future goods and services which might have otherwise been made available in perpetuity by the producer. The market, of course, is vast, and often substitute products will be made available, but in the case of more personalized products (such as video games) this loss may be more difficult to recover from.
With the advent of digital goods, however, which may be endlessly replicated, a new complication arises. Once the costs associated with initial development are satisfied, all future costs are effectively nil. Mass production is free and distribution is instantaneous, both by producers and consumers. The producers, then, are split into two camps: those who trust consumers will uphold their end of the cycle, which is necessary for its perpetuation, and those who do not trust their consumers. The latter employ DRM to keep their consumers honest. The former do not.
By default, then, a failure to purchase a DRM-free product while simultaneously seeking to obtain its benefits both disrupts the cycle of commerce while also proving that faith a producer might have had in their consumers misplaced, instead reinforcing the notion that DRM must be required, and strengthens the argument for its implementation.
That is the "Point."
>GOG DOESN'T MAKE Op said "Buying things," open-ended. There are plenty of smaller devs who make their games available DRM-free from their websites.
friendly reminder that the retard hates gog because it's still DRM is an auitistic faggot who thinks basic internet protocols are DRM he's completely delusional and mentally retarded ignore him
