Reply to Re: Why GOG is better then Gabe's Steam
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
I can provide a list of reasons of why GOG is a better choice without even reading the article.
1.No regional pricing (No 60$ = 60 EU that Steam does)
2.FREE BONUSES (GOG offers a lots of em consisting mostly of artbooks, soundtracks, guides etc.
3.Games are cheaper (Compare for example Shadow Warrior 2013 from Steam to GOG)
4.Great promotions ("Get a game now for free and own it forever", while steam sometimes does that there is another thing to mention. GOG makes a huge discount for bundles and each game have their prices cutted from 75% to 90%, 15 randomly chosen games recieve that promo in each hour
5.Curative Early Access (Meaning that if the game won't be updated. It will be removed immediately! Steam does not do that and it causes some people to abuse that system for easy money. See Earth: Year 2066 and WarZ controversies)
6. GOG will provide with a optional client which allows you to crossplay with Steam games. If it was released on GOG as well
7. No copy protection (Even though Steam allows you to play games in Offline one, there is one hook about it. <b.Games must be verified before going Offline mode[/b]
8. Active support (Good luck to get a fricking response from Steam Support which takes like a MONTH or more)
9. Longer sales (The recent Summer Sale was about 3 weeks, while Steam's was 2 weeks.)
10. Better compatibility with modern systems for older games. (Most of the older games on Steam, are not even setted up for playing it on modern systems. Hell, Steam had no choice but to use the GOG version of System Shock 2 in their shop!)
I am disappointed at you, Punisher. I've made more reasons than this article.
Bite me, that i've written these reasons in short.
I am actually disappointed in Gabe Newell. Mainly how they damn work in there, it is a pure anarchy, anyone can do whatever they want to and fire people just for no reason. Steam may be great, but it is only in sales. The client is unstable and their Steam Greenlight is just horrible, as when a game gets higher votes, it will be accepted not by a person but by a bot. Oh and did i mention that games STILL use a third-party copy protection? Like i dunno....UBISOFT GAMES?!
Not to mention, before you, Punisher say something about Origin, which i am going to mention it. It gets even better and it is not even a sarcasm.
Now currently the only worst DRM/client is UPlay...Hell, even after the release of Origin, UPlay is even worse than this client. But people were blinded by EA hate so damn much and overlook this piece of poop.
Origin got better in multiple things:
-It runs faster
-It is more responsive
-Game Time (Play the game for a limited time when ya run the game and it will pause when ya stop. Steam hoewver, you are limited to the real time!)
-Better overlay
-It downloads faster (Steam for no appearent reason slowly downloads when it is at 90%)
-It's actually more of a download manager rather than a DRM

Your lack of faith in the Gaben is disturbing.
