GilesHabibula: I bought the game on Steam when it came out, never dreaming that GOG would have it soon.
And I love the game, so when it popped up on GOG, I bought it again, just to have the DRM-free version. And yes I am very frustrated, but I mostly blame myself for not having the patience to wait. But again, I never thought in a million years it would turn up here.
Lesson learned. No more Steam games. GOG has a good enough selection of games that I should be able to find something I want to play.
Sure, I won't be able to play all of the "latest and greatest" immediately on release day, but I am confident that GOG is working diligently to try and make this happen, so I will try to be more patient.
I know quite a few people, myself included, that won't use Steam. At work, the new games released on GoG has become a topic of conversation.
If everyone stuck to their guns, we wouldn't have Steam, Origin, Uplay... We'd still have the rack of under $10 games at our local stores still. Remember those racks?
I find it interesting that you often hear about lost revenue from piracy, but never hear about customers lost. For example, the last Total War game I played was Medieval II because of Steam. Civ IV was the last Civ game I played. It's their loss, not mine.
I just bought Dying Light.... wonder how long it takes to download? LOL
