Personally, I'd love for a mod to lock, delete and bitch-slap everyone who advertises for Steam on here. Not because it's kinda obnoxious to advertise a competing publisher (though I suppose it is), but because Steam is exactly the kind of thing gamers shouldn't support if they don't want the future of gaming to be nothing but user-hostile, pseudo-license-based, first-sale-violating shit.

No, they are not a competitor. GOG specializes in games we might actually have a genuine interest in. Steam just sells whatever crap that makes them money.

This is exactly how I feel.
Discussion about steam in general is ok but no need to echo every offer they got over in this place. It's actually really annoying.

What about Simon the sorcerer 3d?

If there are mods in this forum, I would probably just stop visiting it. I really like the idea of there not being a mod at all and the forum being self controlled.

I've heard that game sucks balls. I don't think I've heard a single good thing about it, but there are tastes for everything!

And I've heard rumors. Supposedly, there are people who actually enjoyed it

I'd suggest GOG will sell any game that will make them money, it would be foolish not to.
Their principles are just that the games sold are DRM free, and "old", although I don't know the official line on whats old, possibly at least a year old or something.

I like you too. <3

That would probably just create ill-will among some of those who are customers of both GOG and Steam. While I do believe that advertising for competitors on the forum is a bit rude, bringing down the hammer on people who do so would only end up making the situation much worse. Additionally, while I don't want to see PC gaming go in the direction of what Steam is and think that GOG is the direction that PC game distribution should head in, I also think that this is a matter that needs to be settled by people looking at the options available and choosing what they consider to be the best offering. Trying to shut down discussion of what competitors are offering will only bring unnecessary and ultimately harmful pettiness into the matter, and I'd like to believe that GOG can succeed much better based purely on the merits of what they're offering.

GOG is first-sale-violating too. ;D

I think talking about Steam on here is a good thing, because it vindicates how good GOG is. If Steam were fundamentally better there would be no discussion. Look at it like this, I'll bet on the Steam forums there isn't topic about 'issues' and problems with GOG because basically there is very little to complain about. (I'm asking for someone to prove be wrong XD)
We're only talking about Steam on here because we find faults with it (dare I mention DRM). So I'm glad to see we are, because if we weren't, we would clearly all be chumps.

Going off the boilerplate in their EULA this is true; in practice, though, it still remains to be seen. There are no technical measures to prevent someone from selling the installer to another person then deleting all game files and never downloading any of them again, thus effectively transferring ownership. Now, if GOG starts firing off nastygrams and pursuing legal action against anyone trying to do this then we can definitively say that they are interfering with the right of first-sale.

interfering or not, there's no way to remove all of your copies of the game unless you hand over your account as well

There's no way to remove one's access to a copy of the game, but removing all copies from one's computers is naturally quite trivial. Now, whether this little arrangement would hold up if challenged by GOG in court is unknown, but we are speaking purely of matters of practice here.

Steam can do this too, otherwise phishing wouldn't work.
Your arguing if it can be done, then acting like legalities would be different with steam and Gog.
