GeraltOfRivia_PL: Why do you not like gog
I do like GOG, but I also don't, simultaneously.
I do because it's the only viable choice on the market that offers a decent selection for pseudo-DRM free games.
Some of the reasons why I don't are because:
1) When GOG introduced Crossplay many years ago, they represented it as a ground-breaking feature that would allow users to play together with their fellow players from any other platform, regardless of where they bought it (i.e. GOG to Steam Crossplay). Yet that never happened, and instead Crossplay was dead on arrival.
All these years later, GOG still has done nothing whatsoever to even try and fix that problem and to deliver what they said Crossplay was going to offer.
Hence, because of GOG's inaction & negligence on this matter, multiplayer on GOG remains dead & totally unviable.
GOG could have & should have invested their resources into fixing this issue. For example, instead of making "Galaxy 2.0" that nobody asked for or wanted, they could have spent all that money to make Crossplay 2.0, which all players of multiplayer games would have appreciated (presuming it
actually delivered Crossplay this time).
2) GOG customers are frequently treated like second-class citizens with the games that GOG allows to be released here frequently much inferior to the identical products that are released elsewhere, i.e. GOG releases often have:
- missing Achievements
- missing Cloud saves
- missing extras (OST, etc.)
- missing bundles (i.e. Season Passes combined with OSTs and/or other DLCs, etc.)
- removed features (i.e. multiplayer has been stripped out of the GOG version of the game)
- missing Linux versions (personally I don't use or care about Linux, but I can understand why people who do use it care about that a lot)
etc. etc.
3) GOG has been heavily lurching towards a conversion to being a DRM-filled site, i.e:
- allowing DRM in No Man's Sky & Cyberpunk
- heavily pushing Galaxy 2.0 onto everyone in various ways
- neglecting & marginalizing the existence of offline installers
- selling EGS DRM'ed games on GOG,
etc. etc.
