GOG.com: To help understand what DRM means, how it influences your games and other digital media, and what benefits come with DRM-free approach, we’re launching the FCK DRM initiative. The goal is to educate people and ignite a discussion about DRM. To learn more visit https://fckdrm.com, and share your opinions and stories about DRM and how it affects you.

mqstout: It would be great if that site included a and maintained list of articles (captures of, like PDFs, since articles disappear) of DRM issues, like the SimCity release, games like DarkSpore vanishing entirely, people losing their accounts, etc.

Asrashas: Steam games and games employing other DRMs are just as available on torrent sites. What exactly are you on about?
Pirating didn't start with gog releases.

timppu: If you have any issues playing your Steam games DRM-free, no point to ask for support from Valve.

BreOl72: That list of DRM-free music is not complete.
I know, people love to hate Amazon, but the MP3's that you buy there are DRM-free.
You download them, store them on your HDD, burn them on CD, etc. - no restrictions.

john_hatcher: Well, don't ask GOG neither, because they don't care to remove the drm in F.E.A.R. completely ... read for yourself ... https://www.gog.com/forum/general/fear_installed_securom_all_over_my_computer_does_anyone_know_how_to_get_rid_of_it

And beside that I think that GOG could have done better things with their time thant making a site like this.
How about up-to-date releases?
How about a better forum?
How about no regional blocking drm?
How about one world, one price?
How about better communication with the community?
How about DRM free multiplayer? Someone in the thread said something about an open source Galaxy multiplayer component. I second that thought.

squid830: You seem to have quite an opinion on a suggestive-sounding name (which if you'd actually notice, is not actually, technically speaking, crass at all) for someone who has the grammatical capabilities of a dung beetle coming down from crack with a few tokes on the bong too many. Probably also drunk.

Even then I'd probably find it much easier to understand the beetle, as it most probably has a consistent language - which could in theory be incorporated into Google translate (this isn't likely, since drunken cracked-out weed smoking dung beetle to English translation hasn't ever been suggested as something worth striving for, let alone suggest as an option); the closest I came to attempting to understand your "language" (such as it is) was by studying how teenagers communicate on social media while drunk and/or stoned when using their mobile phone with only one hand.

Which also explains why you don't get it. Though to be fair, the beetle would probably have problems too at this point, what with the downers to counter the coming down from the uppers and all.

If I understand you correctly (and I apologise if I do not - but as described above that's not exactly unexpected) - you don't appear to appreciate how evil DRM actually is, by saying something to the effect of "well some games have it, so yeah I'll use it when forced to and I'm fine with that".

THAT is the problem - and the purpose of the website is to raise awareness among users of what it is, what it can do, and how it can totally FCK u UP. Because DRM can FCK u UP, u ND 2 tel DRM 2 FCK OFF. So FCK DRM.

Hope that makes things clearer. Though hopefully you've visited the website and now realise how evil it is. Every time you buy a game with DRM, you are basically saying that it's OK for someone to come over to your house and steal your car seat covers because they're kind of embarrassing and the company that made them is really sorry they exist and wants to cover up all evidence of their shocking design. Or wants to digitally replace Jabba the Hutt with a shaved walrus due to NASA coming into contact with aliens that kind of look a bit like the Hutts and we don't want to offend them lest they destroy our planet.

Do YOU really want someone to have the power to digitally replace a fictional character in a game or movie you like just because not doing so is believed by the powers that be that it could lead to the destruction of our entire species? After you've bought something, don't YOU have the right to watch it the way it was originally intended, without political interference? Wouldn't you rather doom the entire species than have something that YOU bought and paid for is altered to be slightly different just to appease minority interests? Who are these ALIENS to tell US what to do on OUR OWN PLANET?

Freedom or death. FCK DRM.

Kanashe: Holy eff this is some laughable shit. What I find hilarious is for all this DRM-Free crap, it gets pirated as well. Hell, one can just go to a local torrent site and see all the games pirated from GoG, thus rendering buying 'em completely pointless.

gamesfreak64: serious calm friendly people aren't taken very seriously nowadays, and they never were in the past aswell i guess, so sometimes it's time to drop the correctness like i mentioned earlier in a previous post.

ReynardFox: Yeah if you're ethically bankrupt. Piss off with this attitude.

ReynardFox: Yeah if you're ethically bankrupt. Piss off with this attitude.

ReynardFox: This. Seriously.

john_hatcher: How about no regional blocking drm?
How about one world, one price?

ReynardFox: Yeah if you're ethically bankrupt. Piss off with this attitude.

GOG.com: DRM-free approach in games has been at the heart of GOG.COM from day one. We strongly believe that if you buy a game, it should be yours, and you can play it the way it’s convenient for you, and not how others want you to use it.

The landscape has changed since 2008, and today many people don’t realize what DRM even means. And still the DRM issue in games remains – you’re never sure when and why you can be blocked from accessing them. And it’s not only games that are affected, but your favourite books, music, movies and apps as well.
