There's no reason anything like this would require co-operation from Steam.
I think one of us has misunderstood something. Why would allowing people to register games they have on Steam to their GOG accounts require GOG to accept DRM or require Steam to be DRM-free? No one is talking about a merger...

I have the same feeling, they release a PC game I'm used to play for mobile and I have to pay, again. Doesn't feel right

There's a wishlist entry for that already with thousands of votes. To hand out Steam keys for every GOG game, which basically is the same thing.

But it's, of course, like the example Humble has set for us.

Throw Steam keys at your customers and surprise: you end up basically a shitty Steam key reseller.

You don't want a competition-free future.

...from GoG to Kane, from Kane to Seth.

Thats quite possible. In fact, I can imagine it very well to be possible!
But you won't like it.


It would require both Steam and GOG to double the item prices.

What if cats were dogs, and dogs were cats?

Then women would be from mars and men from Venus, fecking hell that would cause some gender alignment issues :o)

The Witcher 3 was a demonstration of how incapable GOG is as a mass user platform. Failed client, lost staff, inability to detect and fix security flaws, not to mention the influx of new users that GOG's servers and forums haven't recovered from.

There's a reason publishers prefer using Steam - it has the infrastructure and the user base. GOG wants that without the work involved to get it there. Stagnation is their main problem that they need to get over.

Other than they are releasing lots of games, most of which are good. So yes, galaxy is crap and can just be dropped, but they are not stagnating, lots of interest in the core business of getting games in and providing them drm free.

Desura went bankrupt with that philosophy. GOG will just make ends meet if it relies on new releases and new publishers alone. You as a user wouldn't particularly care about this as long as you got yours, but it's a horrible decision for them as business. You need to think beyond the scope of you as the user.

Are you suggesting the cast of the big brother TV show are in fact aliens?

For quite some time, you've seemed quite over-sensitive to anyone saying anything positive about GOG, and/or negative about Steam... And in a GOG forum for that matter, where it is to be expected many people prefer GOG.

Unless you like the idea of popping a vein in your head, just skipping such messages in the GOG forum might be a workable solution. You could concentrate on hunting down such evil-doers on e.g. the Steampowered forums instead. :)

EDIT: It is also an interesting to note that the OP's message, about which you are complaining, is actually downrepped...

I wonder just how fickle these downreps are...
