undeadcow: I have some stuff from Gamers Gate that claims to be DRM free. However, when I download it from their website it seems to only download a portal to the online filmes. When I run the program it begins to download the actual content. I'm a newbie but appearances are that there's no way to back up games from Gamers Gate since they installation files are hosted online behind a secondary installation wall, no way to directly download/retail the installation. Am I overlooking something?
How to back up DRM-Free GamersGate Games:

1. Download the GG downloader for the game, the link to this is in your account.
2. Run the downloader and let it download.
3. When it gets to the stage where the installer has started up, ignore the installer (don't progress through the installation, just leave the installer waiting).
4. Open the task manager.
5. Go to the processes tab and find the downloader in the list and end the task.
6. Go back to the installer and exit it.
7. Go into the folder that the downloader downloaded the files into and check the installer works.
8. Backup the folder.

Stooner: Usually, you need only the downloader/installer manager from GamersGate.

Yeah. You download the game with the downloader thingy and open the installer, then instead of installing the game, you go into the setup folder and copy these files elsewhere. Done. It's a bit annoying, but doable.

Sweet Christmas, those are some good bargains. Will have to nab some of those, such as ones that aren't on GOG like Railroad Pioneer. Thanks!

Yes, it is. Still in Beta, but it is steadily improving.

some nice prices there, but still £5 for Arcania gothic 4 is a fucking rip off,

Dungeon Lords is an OK game, the original version was more buggy than than anything else ive played but it has been worked on since release and I believe the 2012 version which is the current one sold i believe should be much better, its fun but forgettable

Cracking a game doesn't make it DRM-free.
