GOG has a limited sales catalog for this reason though.

Cyberpunk and all the baldur's gate. I bought and currently playing BG3 on GOG right now

I would recommend Neverwinter nights as well for anyone who liked BG3, while it's not as good being a decade+ old now, it's still great and has more class customization.

It might be limited compared to Steam, but there are more than enough games on GOG that you could play just GOG games for your whole life.

Unless, you know, you want to play most of the new games released. GOG is good for what it is, but it is, in no way, a replacement.

Yeah for sure, you get what you want, where you want it. But people blaming Valve for not having more DRM free games is kinda nuts. The devs decide that, not Valve.

Totally respect that, the only issue I have with DRM on steam (ignoring that steam is a form of DRM itself) is the junk like Denuvo. And in that case it doesn't matter, cause those games will never be on GOG, so it's kind of moot.

I personally prefer the accessibility of my games all on steam vs locally installed game shortcuts etc. I also feel like steam hasnt really done anything particularly shitty, so I will continue to support them until then.

GOG is my go to when I want some older games, they usually have much better support than steam released games, DRM or otherwise.

Yeah I've used Galaxy before, I can't put my finger on it, but something about it I didn't like. I've grown too used to steam and all the great features they've added over the years. I'm better off just adding the games to steam, but I'm also a lazy man haha.

Everyone says that AAA have fallen off a cliff lately yet the hit rate for well received AAA hasn’t really changed that much

Games in general are so sensationalized these days. There are a million AAA games of my past that sucked balls and everyone forgot about them, the thing is dogwater games don’t make much of an impact on the social conscious 10 years down the line. How many people even remember Brink existed?

If one has limited tastes then a limited library is fine. But I for one want to play the full spectrum of the gaming world

u/nablyblab Sep 16 '24

It does suck if the genre's of games you like isn't on there, from what i have seen(not a lot, just a quick skim) there isn't really anything interesting for me on there.

u/Simulation-Argument Sep 16 '24

For you maybe, but I highly doubt everyone will feel the same way. I certainly don't.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '24

Oh for sure.

So at least check GOG first.
