GOG is probably savvy in not trying to match Steam sales at every corner, but I would love to see a sale on GOG called "Let's Destroy the Steam Holiday Sale", where they undercut Steam sale prices on every game by $1. Oooh boy that would be hilarious! Lawsuits would probably follow, though.

Since prices are set with permission of the publishers it would be a little hard for this to go unnoticed. I doubt the publishers are interested in that :)

Yeah, and it would obviously look like a feeble attempt to the hispter thing "anything better than Steam".

People need to learn to deal with the fact that some people are perfectly happy with Steam. Hell, I use GOG, Steam, Uplay AND Origin. And I like them, all in their own way (Origin being by far the weakest).

I DEMAND SECRET PROMO!

I agree

I agree with this dude.
Plus, you guys seem to be forgetting about American companies. You try to compete directly with us, we make SURE we either crush you into nonexistence or force you so nearly to the brink of bankruptcy and internal turmoil that you get bought up by them as soon as their first offer hits.
As I often like to say:
THAT'S CAPITALISM, BABY!
*sound of money*

"The art of fighting, without fighting."

"Also see:
FRANCE"

Which you won't find under "A".

Don't misunderstand. I'm a Steam user. Sure I like GOG better, but I am more simply in favor of blind anarchy and chaos.

I agree too

I see you've been reading up on the classics.

Yes, we had forgotten that, oh look:

(Just the first one that sprung to mind).
Is he the one which came up with:
"Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day long"?

But then Steam would come up with even lower sale prices of their own, and so on and so on... After awhile, these stores would be paying us to buy games from them!

How's that for price erosion, huh?!?

Anyway, there are other things besides just price that make people decide where they buy their games from. Some want to have their games on one service (like Steam) and maybe want some of the services offered there, some others prefer DRM-free and a more curated approach to games (GOG) etc...

Like I mentioned earlier, Turok appears to be slightly cheaper on GOG than on Steam, at least for me. Yet, I am sure many Steam-lovers choose to buy it in Steam instead anyway. Likewise, I buy many games from GOG instead of Steam, even if I could have bought them cheaper on Steam (or from a 3rd party Steam key seller site). Isn't that then just art? Like a corn dog without the corn is just a dog?
