Just wanted to know since I can't really find anything on it.

I wrote to whoever runs the official site and asked (even though I pretty much knew what the answer would be) and they said it is a Steam exclusive.

Microsoft is not aboard on GOG, so no chance for the time being.

Damn :\ that sucks.

That's alright, GOG has lots of exclusives as well- Gangsters Organized Crime and Project Eden come to mind.

Doubt it since AoE series arent on GoG, unless they would put both at since but nah.

So piracy it is...

Well, if you need a lame excuse to pirate games, there it is.

What's lame about it ?

Using DRM as an excuse to download free games. It's stupid and it doesn't help the "DRM-free" movement in any possible way, it actually makes things worse because it gives publishers reasons to come up with more draconian DRM methods to stop piracy (like always-online).

Also, this falls into the "two wrongs make a right" fallacy:

"This fallacy involves the attempt to justify a wrong action by pointing to another wrong action. Often, the other wrong action is of the same type or committed by the accuser, in which case it is the subfallacy Tu Quoque. Attempting to justify committing a wrong on the grounds that someone else is guilty of another wrong is clearly a Red Herring, because if this form of argument were cogent, one could justify anything―always assuming that there is another wrong to point to, which is a very safe assumption."

Sorry, it's my fault, but every time I see a title that says "[game name] coming to GOG?", I expect to see a link to an article or similar rumour about how GOG intends to release the game; not just a baseless/hopeful question.

Honestly, this forum is like an emotional roller coaster sometimes :P

The reason this won't happen is because it's integrated with the Steam workshop I think. That means content would not be available across all distribution platforms. If it did not have that then everything would be fine, albeit less featureful.

Edit: Apparently this isn't a problem for Original Sin. So...I guess there is no good reason it's not here. ^^

The way I see it, by boycotting or pirating games with DRM, we'll eventually force the bastards to either give in or go bankrupt . What's so wrong about that ?

Besides, the way things are going, Steam's gonna be a monopoly soon. Unless we do something about it...

I could write a whole lot of text about why that doesn't work... or I could just let Jim Sterling explain it in a far more clever and entertaining way.
