DavidM1337: Hey, Supraland-Dev here.
With the "for the sake of it" comment I was refering to a case of "I will only buy on gog because I want it DRM-free" but it IS DRM-free on Steam since forever. This ignorance and "for the sake of it" attitude made me a little angry.
I have not a single bad thought about gog.
Hi there.
First of all I want to say, thanks for the release of the game here and thanks in general for creating this game.
Regarding GOG and DRM-Free ... Game is available on Steam, but the information that it is DRM-Free there is not in sight. This could only be learned from you as dev or by conducting a special "investigation." And not everyone likes or they have the desire and/or time to look for it somewhere on the forums.
In addition, there is an important point: even if the game itself does not contain DRM, it is necessary to install a store client to use Steam game, and it is necessary to use it (even if the game is completely NOT attached to the client, even in this case at least once - to install the game). Because Steam client itself will play the role of DRM. (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management Digital rights management (DRM) tools or technological protection measures (TPM) are a set of access control technologies for restricting the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. DRM technologies try to control the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted works (such as software and multimedia content), as well as systems within devices that enforce these policies.
This is exactly what the Steam client is doing (among other things)).
On the other hand, a potential buyer, buying a game here (on GOG), knows for sure that the game will be DRM-Free, and the client will not have to install it and play. And some buyers appreciate this attitude of the store and developers: when you buy, you pay money, but at the same time you are not treated like a potential thief. And such an approach in the opinion of such users deserves encouragement. Therefore, if you can buy the game in different stores, the buyer chooses the one in which the buyer feels more comfortable.
And of course, the factor “I have a lot of games in my X store, I want my games to be in one and not scattered in ten different ones”. I have bought over 1800 games here, and I am very glad that I could add your game to that collection.
