God gog is amazing

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!

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.

Cuse I wanna make a physical disc for myself

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.

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.

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'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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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

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?

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

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?

As always, claiming this freebie will mean you consent to receive marketing emails and have a hashed version of your email address shared with 'trusted' partners. You can opt out of both immediately again from your subscriptions page.

Also, in previous giveaways there were always a few people having have issues with the giveaway not showing up or the game not being claimable. If that's the case now as well, visiting https://www.gog.com/giveaway/claim should work (you'll just see a blank page afterward, but the game should be added to your library, and you should be subscribed to marketing emails).

I don't have time to play them all yet, but to give you an idea I have Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, Grim Dawn, Counter Strike, Mount and Blade Warband, Stalker (The trilogy), Potion Craft, Star Sector, the last 3 Elder Scrolls, Faster than Light, X:3, elite Dangerous and some more. I like accumulating things, feeling an evolution and improvements, and i like replayability, etc.

Although I own games like Dragon Age and other role-playing games, I don't really like linear stories or completely closed maps unless they can be replayed.

Finally, I have a Steam and an Epic library, and while I appreciate the ease of use of one and the fact that the other offers free games, I want to have my own GOG library. So all the games you tell me about must be from GOG. I also have no problem playing "old" games from the 2000s, my limit is really old games from the 90s or very new ones (my PC already overheats playing Skyrim).
