Says the guy who replies to my posts with no actual argument/inputs but is just trolling? Yeah ok

Why would anyone bother hacking a GOG account?

It's usually "unsubstantiated"(until proven) when one takes a more logical(and less emptional/impulse driven) approach to new information/posts/threads. Yes, stuff can be just there to cause panic/problems, but one shouldn't automatically see things as such without some checking/deduction taken first.
=========================
I agree that THAT does seem a good bit suspect.
=========================
I wasn't offended and I agree we should always clear stuff up as much as possible when posting replies/reading replies.

To be fair, I imagine some GOG users probably use their steam accounts(if any) to mention how steam/epic are the devil/etc from time to time(or just to make civil critiques of said platforms). Sometimes the best "forum" to talk about how much something "sucks" is the platform's forum itself.

Yes, you could email/chat with staff of said platforms, but due to NDAs/company policy they might not be able to tell you much(on steam/GOG/epic) about their policies/inner workings

Dude(mam?), you should probably quit while you're "ahead". Also, reposting the same point over and over probably makes some low rate you so much. Just a bit of friendly advice. :)

===================================================
(Addition: This will probably get low rated as "whiny"/etc, but why was post#119 low-rated? I merely answered a question on someone asking why GOG accounts might be hacked. I didn't say they would be, and I said my reply civilly without trying to cause a panic/disruption.

Also, why are ALL/most of satoru's replies low rated? Is he/she considered a troll, or is it because they repeated alot of stuff?

I agree posts 117/118 are a bit political/offtopic and should be low rated though.)

This troll thread is never going to die out...

It probably has more to do with the fact he's a Steam forum moderator whose 'contribution' to GOG consists mostly of persistently negative tone comments about GOG on GOG forums with no sense of self-awareness regarding conflict of interest...

A Saboteur! Off with his head!

2 Factor on GOG sucks. If somebody loses their email address, the attacker then has the necessary access to make all the changes they like. They don't even need access to the email account, they could potentially just sniff the emails as they're sent. Granted, that's easier said than done, but it's still an issue.

GoG should really be offering real 2FA, it's not like the necessary hardware is very expensive to buy these days.
That's a great question. Other than trolling, there's not much point. Any game that is on here is probably available on certain nautical themed sites anyways. And apart from trying to operate some sort of scam via a compromised account, I'm curious what the point would be.

Satoru would. But don't ask him why. lol
You wangling to be a Steam mod? lol

Damn. If that's the case then I must say his comments are much more suspect. :\

(Just a quick question: Not to throw doubt into the mix, but is it the same person or just someone with the same name/han dle? Seriously asking here.)


If only one could sage a reply(as in reply but not bump the thread to the front page). That way, one could reply if one felt the need(such as people like me who feel the need to reply to replies/certain posts) without bringing the thread back into the spotlight.

Wasn't it Satoru that was having a personal argument with a disgruntled Steam customer on the forums in the latter half of last year? I seem to recall something like that because it was one of the first real personal vendettas I witnessed here after I joined.

When I enter GoG community, it opens my chrome browser and has a facebook help link and my facebook is not even logged in or asssociated with GoG. Something is wrong. It only does it when i enter community.

Now that Galaxy might be compromised, by facebook then this thread might turn out to be true.

I'm sure it was confirmed in one of the other threads last year when people grew suspicious of the overly enthusiastic advocacy (including "Steam's DRM isn't DRM and even if it were it would be the fault of everyone except Steam." style outbursts). He never volunteers it directly though...

Whilst I don't want that hacking side of things to be true for those that use Galaxy, with any luck it might re-elevate GOG's interest in treating "backup" installers equally again:-

Agree.

You seem to be confused since that user was actively lying about literally everything about their experience with Steam to get on some kind of 'pity train'. He just got uppity when someone called him out on his bullshit on steam and on reddit.
Again you're free to ignore facts but again

1) steam isn't DRM, if it was there could not be, by definition, drm free games on steam

https://steam.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games

2) Steamworks isnt DRM

https://twitter.com/icculus/status/471441666419990528?lang=en

3) you can incorporate literally every steamworks feature available and have your game be 100% DRM free as literally every game by Larian has every Steamworks feature including multiplayer but is 100% DRM free on Steam

Are you willing to refute facts or are you going to resort to ad hominem attacks.
note that GOG incorporates OpenID from Facebook. You should basically see that if you attempt to log into GOG pretty much anywhere. Using incognito mode, for me I can see the login prompt on chome shows the Facebook OpenID button on the Store page, Forums and Support.
