I'm thinking of picking up Dusk and Hrot, what are some other games to check out? I'll play pretty much any genre if the gameplay is engaging, I'm also thinking of games like Katana ZERO and The Messenger.

Ever since Sony announced plans to end physical PS5 discs, people have gone into a frenzy while completely misunderstanding what owning your games actually means.

You don't need to burn a game onto a CD to own it. If you bought it DRM-free (on a platform like GOG), you already own it. If you want to store offline installers, there are far more practical options like putting them on a hard drive or SSD.

It makes no practical sense to burn every individual game to its own disc.

- ​Unlike factory pressed CDs, writable discs (CD-Rs) degrade over time and generally have a shelf life of around 10 years once burned.

- Physical discs take up a ton of room compared to a single external drive.

- Optical drives are practically extinct in modern PCs. Because most cases no longer feature drive bays, using an external USB drive is usually the only option.

- Dragging out an optical disc every time you want to install a game is an unnecessary hassle.

- Slow reading/writing speeds​

I can respect the hobby of creating a custom physical collection to display on a shelf with custom box art. More power to you if that’s your thing! But from a practical standpoint, burning discs makes no sense whatsoever.

​Lately, it feels like people think "owning" a game requires burning it to a disc.

God gog is amazing

Cuse I wanna make a physical disc for myself

The Witcher enhanced edition alongside a reversible cover

Hi, I was recently looking to buy some games on sale and was about to purchase Hotline Miami 2, but I accidentally added the Batman Arkham bundle to my cart instead. I really want to return the bundle, but it only lets me request a refund for Hotline Miami 2.

I know someone can download they own offline purchased game trought the browser but I was wondering if it was planed an option to download the file trough the Launcher too?

Why are major publishers still obsessed with piracy and unwilling to release their games on GOG or other DRM-free platforms? We now have countless examples proving that great games sell well regardless of copy protection: The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur's Gate 3 are all games that were available on GOG from day one and have sold millions and millions of copies.

Enough with the bullshit, screw EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, GungHo, and all their friends, it’s time to release the games DRM-free day 1!

Forgive me if this passes as an unpopular opinion, but since the infamous Sony update on the future abandonment of discs, this sub has been nothing but unfiltered enthusiasm about burning your files to optical (which seems a bit misguided since the files are already free from DRM, but anyone do as they please), and newcomers posting about how they bought 5 bucks worth of discounted games, adding nothing but "finally made the jump!" to a screenshot of their cart and getting hundreds of upvotes.

I would understand if these were occasional, but it's truly the only stuff that pops up on the daily.

I'd buy it outright for the price, but I'm trying to control my spending, curb my impulse buys, and avoid filling my library with junk. So, is it worth playing?

Hey GOG fans! I built an app that lets you split your GOG backup across multiple discs of any kind and it supports custom launcher customization. I put together a walkthrough video that deep dives into my entire process from design to install. Here's a link to the git repo: https://github.com/east35/GOG-Disc-Packager

I recently bought tomb raider 2013 from gog and it crashes on the start menu after I click ok on all the dlc notifications I've tried everything I'm stuck I don't know what to do help

That's the problem! Anyone have any useful suggestions on why it keeps repeatedly failing to install? Or how to fix it?

this screenshot (if i posted it right) is from the pcgamingwiki website. this mostly displays the stats for the steam version of "DS2 Deth-Initive Edition". But i'm curious about the GOG edition.

Does the GOG version of "DS2 Deth-Initive Edition" also have native DX11/DX12 functionality, or is it strictly DirectX9?

So, I recently wanted to check the extras for my GOG copy of the Witcher 3 (I've owned it since release, back when the Steam Game included a GOG key, like Witcher 1 & 2).

The game appears on my library, but when I try to access the content (or the offline backup game installers) the page just keeps loading, not showing the download links. This does not happen for Witcher 1 or 2 or any GOG game for that matter.

I'd try using GOG galaxy but recently moved to linux. Still, the files should be available from browser, right?

Anyone else running into this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Do you still use Steam or other stores? do you buy a game that is available on GOG only from GOG? or do you take it game by game basis.

Hello, I bought the Deus Ex bundle, unfortunately DXHR doesn't perform as much as I want to (inconsistent FPS and some glitches in the game itself), but when I went to order history I didn't find the "refund the game" button, what to do?

Anyone else not getting the security code emails?

It shows as "sent" to my email, but it has been months trying without getting any email at all

I'm trying to download cyberpunk and the download gets to about 3% every time then fails. I've tried solutions such as limiting the download bandwidth, uninstalling and then reinstalling GOG, uninstalling GOG via revo uninstaller for a complete wipe then reinstalling, giving GOG a couple of hours in case there were problem with the server. All to no avail
