Johnathanamz: Yay promoting microtransactions on gog.com.

Get out of here with that stuff.

I am going to defend gog.com to never introduce microtransactions or a marketplace like Steam did.

Fight me. I'll fight back.

The keys for both Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 are microtransactions. Cosmetic mircrotransactions, which are still microtransactions. A player has to purchase the keys from Team Fortress 2 or from the damn Steam Marketplace.

No Steam keys

Rofl.
Excellent, that made me smile. And I'll probably be singing it all day now :)

nrd224: Never heard anyone mention this website/platform in my 10+ years using steam.
Registered: Nov 2014 ... huh. Interesting.
Why cant Nvidia just give me a steam key like every other game redemption I've got?
Because Nvidia had a promo deal with CDPR, parent company of GoG.com. It was not a secret, and was prominently displayed even before you purchased your video card. I know, because I also bought a new video card and got the deal, and I checked the offer beforehand to make sure it was a GoG key and there's a big honking GoG.com logo right there, and not a Steam logo in sight.
Why do I have to download another gaming platform just to play this game? and if I don't download the platform why is the game in 7 different files and a patch that I have to manually download?
Because internet connections are rarely solid and a hiccup 30 gigs into a 40 gig download, forcing you to start all over would be a right pain in the ass.

In your 10+ years of using Steam, maybe perhaps you've come across the feature to add a non-Steam game to your library? Download Witcher 3 from GoG, install, add to your Steam library. Easy peasy. And quit complaining about getting something for free.

Right, but that has nothing to do with microtransactions on GOG.

Thanks for making me laugh!

When gog.com become #1 and breaks Steam's monopoly on the PC gaming market you will thank gog.com for doing this.

If VALVe decides to close your Steam account with all of the video games you purchased, which VALVe can do this for no reason. I bet you will come crying to gog.com.

Well ok. As much as I dislike microtransactions and DRM, I don't have a problem with people talking about what they want.

Shadow? You never used a hat in your life?
You never played with the shadow of your hands on a wall, when there was no electricity in your residence?

Wow, I got downrepped, cool!

I do have reason beyond this thread to call him a troll though and question his reading comprehension. He was doing the same thing worse in a different thread yesterday.

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/copying_the_witcher_3_from_steam_to_gog/post6

That set me up to see his post in this thread as suggesting that someone was trying to bring microtransactions to GOG, but he was actually just being overzealous. So apologies for calling you a troll Johnathannamz.
