Is it only because they will always give us drm free content or is it because of their games/services and pro consumer stance.....let me know(only if you want)^^

This thread title is a loaded question.

You can't assume that people "love gog" just because they buy games from GOG.

And GOG certainly does not have a "pro consumer" stance. Maybe they did at one time many years ago, but they definitely don't now.

I don't.

I'm mostly at the tolerant/shades of neutral cavilling at this point. The moment workers in GOG either Unionize or start hiring outside of Poland, the moment this needle budges.

I like GOG for their DRM-free games, offline installers and stand-alone patches.
Oh, and that I can pay with PaySafeCard.
That's it.

I guess I used to love GOG, but those days are long gone, and good riddance. Nowadays I just like to hang out here when I'm bored because the forums are so active compared to other sites (with all the good and bad that entails). There are some remnants of GOG's "pro consumer" stance, I still appreciate offline installers when they're up to date, or re-releases of old classics that other stores won't bother with anymore, but now I mostly feel that GOG's/CD Projekt's supposed opposition to how things are done in the gaming industry was just a way to get a foot in the door and grow until they were big enough to just join the rest and get a piece of the pie. But it's what companies do in this system, no big surprise. Us thinking otherwise was just naive. You should reserve "love" for the nice people in your life, not a company.

They won't. Their own game, Cyberpunk, has drm-ed content. The days of 100% DRM-free are over and so is GOG's pro-consumer stance. There is no reason left to 'love' or support them.

unionize ?:O
why should they start hiring outside poland?

DRM free

Also support is a bit better than Steam's

This might come as a surprise at you, but in my experience EA's Origin support is the best

Response time is better on GOG than on Steam

Origin is instant (live chat)

Origin support seems to be outsourced to India though

Why do you not like gog

Loving, or rather liking GOG is like having a child that constantly gets into trouble, doesn't do to well in school, and doesn't really respect you.

But you have to at least like it, or tolerate it. Because it's the only child you have. The only child you might ever have.

At least that's how I feel as an offline installer only user who could never go the DRM way or galaxy way. GOG is the only choice I have, whether I like it or not.

I used to like gog a lot when it was drm-free for everything and client free for everything and without regional price (it was really cheap) and full of goodies.
Now I don't really love it:
- No drm-free for multiplayer games anymore.
- An "optional" (not always) client that I don't really care about.
- Regional price in euro, many times I need to spend more money to buy here compared to steam and other stores.
- Usually no goodies.

I don't really hate it either, a few good things:
- Google pay (I know that many people hate it, because google... but I actually use it everyday in stores and I like to use it online instead of paypal... I think it's more secure and I don't like to save my card number online where there can be a data brench), not sure why other stores do not use it.
- Many new drm-free games that are actually good and where I can still not use the new galaxy thing.

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.

I love GOG's DRM-Free offline installers. Whether or not I continue to "love GOG" depends on how GOG treats their own DRM-Free offline installers in the long-run...
