PookaMustard: Why use GOG over the likes of customer-hating services like Steam?
Because they sell DRM-free titles. Instead of Valve telling you when, where and how you play, and if you're unable to communicate with Valve, basically you're screwed and unable to play your games, GOG lets you download the game installers, and then leaves the games up to your choices of when, where and how you play. You can then shut off the internet and be unable to communicate with GOG and still be able to play your games from GOG and even install them. It is for this reason that I'm here.
Praise to GOG where praise is due, and the decision not to use Steam is fair enough. DRM-free gaming
is more customer-friendly, and I prefer to have DRM-free installers myself. Being at the mercy of a third party is always risky. That being said, what you write here about GOG's competitor is just not true. Steam allows you to install your games on several computers as well, even share them with family and friends (with limitations), and if it can't connect to Steam's servers, it still allows you to play the games offline.
