Linko64: With all due respect 'pretty sure' doesn't mean a whole lot without at least one example of it. Steam/Epic doesn't intergrade fan patches like some GOG titles do (Vampire Bloodlines for example)

my name is catte: I'm absolutely 100% certain it happened with multiple games, I just can't remember all the instances. Pretty sure when the original Tomb Raider games showed up on Steam they were the "GOG versions". Steam/Epic don't integrate anything with anything, they're just a store. It was SquareEnix who published the Tomb Raider games on Steam and specifically uploaded the GOG packages, so the games definitely weren't exclusive to GOG.
Mate, no one at any point claimed they were? This is seemingly going around in circles. The fact people can't list GOG exclusives might be good data for GOG though, so least we gained something from this

My point was that GOG re-releasing an old game doesn't automatically make it exclusive. You started off by saying exclusivity is GOG's "main selling point" as if that's their whole thing. All I was doing was pointing out that GOG's thing of fixing up old games does not equal exclusivity. If they have exclusives (which I don't disbelieve) then you haven't named any yet either. Whatever exclusives they have, it's nothing to do with their "main selling point".

We're going around in circles again, like i said prior, open to talking about this on twitter/discord etc no one said it was 'their whole thing' either mate, come on now. Don't be a dafty

Phew!, that was a close one, dodged that bullet. Thank gaud for twitch/discord...
I wonder how many thousands of exclusives Steam has.

Linko64: But really, how can you not think of a single GOG exclusive be it core classic game! That's their main selling point!
Well I agree about the going round in circles thing.
