You can manually transfer the save files if you know their location. No cloud saves yet.

Ye i know that ive tried it with a game bought in steam but it didnt work xD ( transfered save files and the game itself, but ofc needed steam ._.)

Welcome to GOG!

If you purchase a game you can do pretty much everything you want with it.
+ You can download it off Galaxy (just like Steam: friend chat, auto updates, ...)
+ You can download it off the GOG website (Install it to an USB, PC, ...)
+ You can store your saves on an USB

Basically since its DRM free it would be pretty much like buying a game that's on a CD.
You can back it up, lend it to a friend, play it on all your PCs, ... (Depends on the law in your country)


But Galaxy is still in Beta and is not finished yet.
But don't worry, Galaxy is optional and you can just download your games from the website.


Another really cool thing is:
If steam bans you, you lose access to your games.
If GOG bans you, you lose access from downloading your games but you can still play them.

Steam pretty much never bans you unless you cheat.
GOG pretty much never bans you unless you upload their games illegally.

But its still a nice thought that not even GOG can restrict me from playing my games (DRM-Free)

Saved game files can usually be transferred (or backed up) just by copying them. What cannot be transferred (at least not without some arcane knowledge and a rain dance) are the software installations themselves. So if you are sick and tired of playing on computer A, just install the game anew on computer B, then copy your saved game files from wherever the game keeps them to an identical location on the new PC.

Over here, you can just copy/paste the save files. But for the game, reinstall it on the new pc. Don't copy/paste the whole game folder, that might be problematic.

A bit of a correction. When you are "banned" on Steam, you aren't really banned. You simply lose the ability to buy games on the account. But the account itself is not deleted or closed. You can still log in and play whatever you happen to have there. (If you are banned by VAC, you are restricted from playing on the official serves of the game in questions.)

I haven't had any problems installing my games on a USB and just using the game between different computers.
Yeah my example was just the dooms day scenario and the power Steam & GOG has over your games.

This is probably true for the majority of the older DOS games, which tended to restrict themselves to a single folder. Windows games, on the other hand, inject bits and pieces all over the computer, so copying the installation folder will most likely leave it very broken.

Pretty much all games with DRM do that to be able to verify if you actually bought the game.
I have very rarely seen a non-DRM game do that.

Nice, understood everything now thx fam ^^

No problem, glad to help! :-)

This doesn't have anything to do with DRM. It's purely a function of how an OS handles its installations. When you install the most DRM-free software in Windows it still writes to the registry, creates additional folders in a number of locations, possibly installs dependencies, such as C++ or .NET libraries, and so on. Without all of that it simply won't work. You can verify it on any reasonably modern game from GOG.

Mhmm, I usually don't have that kind of trouble because I run most of my games on Linux :)
But yeah this happens... sadly

Although I have tried it on games like Warband and they still worked on USB with Windows.

Of course :-)
Just me being confused by using Linux so much :p
