Oh, I'm sure there were people lining up to ridicule it compared to Steam. Everyone has to start somewhere.

(first post is current to post #586)

Well I was talking more about mistrust of Gog back then, but yeah i'm sure that happened too.

Anyhoo, (mainly for others reading this later) what I was trying to get at is the fact that the only way zoom and others will take off is if more people trust them and use them(and research them first for peace of mind, if need be)....and also that MORE drm free alternatives are better than just one.

(edit: also that people shouldn't become too attached to a single store/company too much, as they seem to more often than not usually become worse in various ways over time)

Yeah add me to the list too bro.

Is Zoom legit? Looks like they sell some game's not even for sale anymore.

I have over 1000 games backup on 4 different HD each. So I have 4 backup copies of all my games.

Hey, Tea. are all the games on Zoom DRM-free? I can't seem to find anything indicating any level of DRM, so I'm assuming they're all DR-free. Is this correct?

I think you've triggered amok!

i dont boycot gog, i just buy more gog shit

A few here have contacted rights holders and the company/site itself. Seeing as the games are still up, and based on the responses they received back, it is very likely it is legit.

(for example, they negotiated a more or less lifetime license for Duke Nukem 3D, which is why that site can still sell it)

Just in case you weren't aware, that's likely more games than you can play in your life time.....I do hope you bought some life extension DLC(drm free, of course) as well. :)

My question is what happens when Zoom Bends the knee? Why support another store? Why not Pirate?

I have several games and they are all DRM free....and from talking to others(some of whom talked to the site staff/etc) the answer appears to be yes.

Sidenote: I love the installers...they run like GOG ones, but a bit more "streamlined".
(for one thing there is no client integration like with gog's offline installers)

Some people want to be on the "right" side, morally and/or legally speaking....by buying legal copies.
(this is a good thing for people to want to do, imo)

Also usually buying such copies entitles one to things like support from the store and possible future fixes for new OSs and etc.

Thank you for the reply I might buy Grid now. I also have all my console games rip and back up on HDs. Ha-ha

Best of luck to ya.

Btw a head's up: The last time I checked they only took paypal...though they might take cards now as well. Also, they didn't allow gifting the last time I checked either....though I hear tell they will soon(ish) be adding new stuff and functionality to the site/store there in the future.

If you like ancient Egyptian themes and the classic resident evil style gameplay I recommend Curse: Eye of Isis.
(steam also has it but it's not DRM free afaik)
