Well makes no sense... 95% of the games are Steam exclusive and not GOG. The only "crybabies" are indeed on Steam when a publisher/developer releases a game with Denuvo or any other additional DRM... then the QQ starts. Thanks for the laughs though!
Back to topic: hopefully it gets never released on Steam.

Steam, lol. highly over rated. this is where real old school gamers go to get DRM FREE, untethered gaming. GOG is and will be the go to place for people who really love games and want to own the game not just access to it. keep up the good work GOG, I know this is the Spot.

There are loads of older DRM free games on Steam as well. That's really not an argument anymore, if it ever was one.
In most cases, it makes no sense to release your older game, and put work into them just to get DRM, when you sell them for 10 € or something.

aureilia: That's not really the entire issue, a few launchers are fine. I don't mind having maybe 3, so GOG, Steam and Epic (I know it's a sin)
But add 2K, Ubisoft, XBOX App, Rockstar, EA and everything else into the mix and your pc suddenly launches like it's built in the early 2000s.
Well you don't have to use GOG's launcher, you can just use the DRM-free installers (and add it to Steam as a non-Steam game, though I don't personally know how). But add 2K, Ubisoft, XBOX App, Rockstar, EA and everything else into the mix and your pc suddenly launches like it's built in the early 2000s.
(I haven't forgotten that you're just here to troll :P I'm sure we'll just have to agree to disagree) I get what you're saying, and I was being hyperbolic with "rage", but Steam is the dominant force so it's not going anywhere so there's a greater need to "cry" for games to come to GOG over Steam. If Steam/Valve was a company struggling to get titles I might agree or leans toward agreeing with your point. (Personally I try to support GOG, ZoomPlatform, and Fireflower Games.) Exclusives are good for GOG because many people won't use the service otherwise since DRM-free - while it shouldn't be removed as a pillar from GOG and it is valuable - is so niche overall.

If they are DRM free then it's mistaken from steam or a very old game that uses dosbox. In most cases, it makes no sense to release your older game, and put work into them just to get DRM, when you sell them for 10 € or something.
Most games if not 99% of them use DRM, at least steam is used as DRM form.
There are some games that are DRM free, sure, but not even the 1%.
Nothing against steam, in fact i made my account the same day it was released back in the day, because i'm a huge fan of valve. I also believe that thanks to Steam, game devs and publisher saw that it was posible to get profit from PC gaming.
Let's not forget the dark ages of pc gaming when most games were broken ports of 360 or ps3 games.
But for older games, i go with GOG all the way, even if the game is cheaper on steam.

You can copy paste those games to other locations, and they just work, without Steam. Thief 1 and 2, for example.

I don't think that it's a missed opportunity, considering it took Capcom basically no money and effort to put these old games out, that they refused to do before, and would have probably never bothered if GOG didn't convinced them. They sold like hot cakes here, and they were the top sellers for months. You have a GOG account and could easily buy and play them, but you rather complain that you want them on Steam. I prefer Steam too, but I play games, not launchers, not to mention Resident Evil 1 and 2 benefit a lot from GOG's DirectX wrapper that would be abscent on Steam, and GOG fixed bugs and compatibility issues themselves.

My take is that if these sell well, a massive hit, then capcom will make remastered versions, the reason why we dont get classic re on modern platforms is because capcom think that classic gameplay doesnt appeal to new audiences, if you see when they were last seen (gamecube) you will realize that capcom never rerealese them anymore, they went straight to RE4 and everything changed. The reason why capcom think of that is because the classic re games flopped on gamecube and that is because of the failure of the console itself, not because old tank controls doesnt appeal to gamers. So, if classic gampelay is going to return then we need to support these versions, that will tell capcom that classic gameplay is still a thing and surely capcom will want to milk more money from them and that means we will see a proper remaster with all the features or even greater than we get on a normal steam release...

But the GameCube games did get rereleased. Those also feature classic gameplay and sold well, as far as I know. There has to be some other reason.
