I don't really go on Steam forums or hang around them much. So can't comment on that. If you do, keep up the DRM-free fight, bother!! But you did not really answer the first part of my question. People probably think I only say bad things about ZP, which is not valid.

I don't think ZP would go so low on Poaching games from another store. I wonder why OP would even believe that was happing. Also, I have complemented ZP on doing an excellent job on some releases like flatout ultimate carnage and Grid racing which I have from ZP.
The last one never got closed.

I never celebrated its removal, but it was removed due to Online DRM no longer working, thus making it unplayable, even for people who purchased it previously.

It's good that it's been preserved DRM-Free on Zoom. It was one of the first games I bought there. Yes yes, it's so popular to trash that game, yet look at 4. It's also an unfinished bug-ridden mess. RWS captured lightning in a bottle once with 2 and then they, and their fans, got very snobby. There are far more examples of the opposite lol.
Everything by Ziggurat got removed from Zoom and Published by GOG. Overlord 1 & 2 were on GOG way before they arrived at GOG, but thankfully, they're still on Zoom as well. THIS!

I use both stores and I find this bickering between the two ridiculous. We need as many DRM-Free stores out there as possible. Steam, Epic, Ubisoft Connect, EA Desktop, Battle.net, etc. are the enemy, not GOG, nor Zoom, nor Itch,io for that matter.

Even if at the risk of biting the bait of someone I see almost solely causing trouble here in the forum (this isn't the first time we interact, btw, and again in not felicitous circumstances), but since I see that I was mentioned, I think it's worth addressing:
I don't comment on things unless I think it's worth commenting on. And with GOG escalating anti-consumer moves as they were doing in that past year from the date of that comment, I found it worth adding to the convo you linked.
But I invite you to go to the GOG Café and ZP Discord groups (provided you don't cause trouble there again), look for my comments there and see how many times I'd been critical or even coarse/aggressive towards the behavior of each stores in the opposing group, versus how many times I'd simply been informative about either.
And since you may see me appearing a lot in ZP's request channel, I also invite you to look at how many entries I added to the community wishlist here at GOG (which reminds me I should add a few more to the community wishlist).
And I also invite you to find how many times I'd been a chill for other stores here at the forum, versus, again, how many times I'd simply been informative.

I'm positive you are ZP discord mod as well, that said he dose not buy from GOG anymore or like them on ZP discord. i seen you post lot negative things about GOG on ZP discord.

Your saying one thing GOG forms and different thing on ZP discord.

Yes, I am a volunteer moderator there, and no, it adds nothing to which one I'm defending more.
Actually, it does add, in GOG's favor. You see, if I spot a conversation turning into "store wars" (making an analogy/wordplay to "console wars"), if I don't think the heated discussion will die as easily, I try to steer the conversation to another topic.
But as this thread seems to be going a lot into the "pointing fingers" territory, and I already addressed the direct and indirect attacks to my reputation, I don't think there's anything else to say.

I was just pointing out that you openly disliked GOG on ZP discord and would not like to buy from them anymore. Which is cool because that's your choice, and I support it. In my opinion, it's not a good idea to come on GOG forums saying you are not biased but is a mod for ZP and bashes GOG a lot on their discord.

Honestly, this thread should be closed, but GOG mods seem to be doing a shitty job. lol I'm just here to past time.

No thanks. What you wrote in brackets is enough to not do it.

As a moderator for their community you are associated with this store. You are not neutral anymore.

There wouldn't be a "store wars" if the situation with ZP would be similar to Fireflower Games. You don't see people associated with Fireflower Games hanging around here and pointing out that certain games on GOG have also been released there or are hijacking threads like the example from above. What you wrote as "store wars" is part of ZP's anti-GOG marketing which also targets frustrated GOG users.

Fireflower has some games that GOG and Zoom don't have. I bought 'em. They must have been poached. Am I anti-Zoom, now?

Bought some games from GameFools that GOG, Zoom, and Fireflower don't have. Am I anti-Fireflower?

In case anyone's wondering, Fireflower has Gold Rush, an anniversary edition, and Gold Rush II.

GameFools has Defernder of the Crown: Heroes Live Forever, and IREM Arcade Hits. GameFools installers force installation to C: but you can move the files somewhere else after it's done. Also, be careful to uncheck the subscription thing that GameFools tries to sneak by you at checkout.

A bunch of leading questions which ignore the problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While a Vampyre Story may have been poached, I will not presume to have enough inside information to claim either way, there are other titles that have went from Zoom to GOG, such as those published by Ziggurat.

I still fail to see the relevance. Both are DRM-Free store-fronts. When Steam fans bicker with Epic fans, at least it makes some sense. There's an ideological difference between having all of your eggs in one basket for convenience and it being the best DRMd platform for consumers; versus the safety of NOT keeping all your eggs within one bucket, 'cause that's mad everywhere outside of gaming, and it being the best DRMd platform for developers.

GOG vs Zoom though, both are DRM-Free. That's the whole selling point of both stores. The "launcher" for your games should be the Start Menu, or Taskbar, or whatever. Who cares about where those DRM-Free games were bought from? It has no bearing on your ability to play those games, other than perhaps if you care about achievements or cloud saves.

This whole thread is pointless. Unlike in Steam vs Epic squabbles, it really doesn't matter where DRM-Free games are bought from, as long as they are still sold DRM-Free. A Vampyre Story never had any GOG achievements either...

Did GamesPlanet poach The Sinking City from GOG? I have no idea, but I'm glad it's available DRM-Free anywhere at all.

Theoretically yes, but it is ZP with their anti-GOG marketing and all negative side effects.

One of the effects is this never ending circling discussion about Zoom. They don't do anything "there", because they have no forum at all. They come "here" (and to other places).

If you want to know why these threads get locked: Complaining about another store is one thing, but promoting them is not accepted.

Really ... just stop it already, would ya? No one here is getting anywhere, it just goes round and round and round and round ...

So please, let's just let our Zoom crusader have the last word, let him give it to us (or rub in our face or whatever) and let's be done with it.

I, personally, see no issue with people discussing zoom here. They have some exclusive DRM-Free games, that people may not be aware of. I would not be aware of Zoom myself, if not for such discussions. I desperately wanted Knights of The Temple games DRM-Free on GOG, but then lo and behold, Zoom actually has them both. If GOG had them, I would have bought them here probably. Zoom did not poach a sale of KoTT, since they were never on sale on GOG. They are welcome to contact the publisher and publish those games here. We have Enclave after all...

At the same time several people, including myself, spam Steam forum with GOG requests, so GOG benefits from "crusaders" too. I'm sure Valve would rather we did not, but they don't seem to care and that's a good thing. Most of the time, we just get accused of wanting easy piracy by Steam users lol, but sometimes it actually works out. So we will continue spamming Steam forums and Developer discords, asking for DRM-Free releases, because all DRM-Free fans benefit from, that.

What lies? LOL.

I gave you one concrete example which can be read on ZP's own website. People from ZP's discord channel (users or employees) have used the same wording of the promotional text to spam in this forum. Their Twitter page speaks for itself. They are very open about their anti-GOG stance.

Maybe you shouldn't believe all the sweet marketing stories they tell you on their Discord channel. Maybe you want to hear these stories and it similar to this song:

The example with the Selaco developers shows that is not always a smart idea to raid and spam social media channels of developers.
