realkman666: I got the game for Steam under 3$, so it's not a big deal. I'l get to play L.A. Noire in all its bad port glory after all.

ironwoman: Aside from FPS cap, what's so bad about LA Noire?
OMG, is it 30 fps too? That one time I installed it, I just felt it was blotchy, low resolution and not very pretty for HD.

4. When the game's installer starts, don't install the game yet! Just ignore or minimise the installer
5. Open up task manager and kill the GG downloader process (not the installer!)
6. Quit the installer
7. Now try running the installer (not the downloader!) to test your back up
Seems like a lot of extra work rather than 'don't install right away then delete the installer afterwards'... The GoG Downloader has it right where you can install right away or just give you the installation files.

Dzsono: a significant minority of gamers have no idea how to perform, what I would call, basic operations on a computer. Perhaps it's my lack of intelligence that I'm consistently shocked that certain actions are not baseline knowledge for all computer users.
Blame M$ and Apple. Making their windowing interfaces where everything is mouse driven, where object oriented design although sound (like dragging files to the trash can to delete them) holds so much less overhead to learn, but you don't really learn anything useful. Performing most actions can only be done through GUI interfaces that have to be custom built and are sold to you piece by piece, whereas before with Unix and DOS systems, you were given all the pieces needed and you just combined them in a series of steps to accomplish the same goal. Yeah the mouse driven interface has made it easier for less technical people to use computers, but people have gotten lazy too and won't spend the 10 minutes reading a manual and instead want the specific issue told to them as a set of magic instructions they will never remember or understand to get the job done. Sad...

It's GamersGate's (frankly undefendable) choice to put these hoops on their 'DRM-free' downloads. It's their own fault they've been 'forced' to mostly sell Steam keys. I reckon if they'd provided a proper DRM-free service they would have been able to ooerate in the same niche as GOG.
I wasn't able to sign into my GamersGate account for like two weeks for no reason whatsoever. LOL
