Does purchasing a game on GOG.com really grants ownership of the game and not a license to use it? (fedia.io)

    yes there are drm-free games on steam. this does not disprove their point. steam's first role was as drm for half life 2. steam stops working if you don't log in periodically.

    And if you download a drm free game it doesn’t need to sync to Steam. You’re providing false information. The link specifies this.

    Why are you claiming it does? Where did you get this information?

    If you’re buying a game on GoG, it’s because it’s drm free. Which means it’s also drm free on Steam. So anyone looking at those games, would understand the context that we’re talking about the same type of games.

    FIFA isn’t available of GoG, so of course we wouldn’t be talking about the same thing on Steam. You’re making massive assumptions dude. The talk has always been about drm free games, no one changed the topic.

    untrue. some people may have assumed the talk has always been about drm free games, but the thread's contents do not support that. besides, some games have drm on steam but not on gog. factorio is a prime example.

    The threads content…? The ones that are ONLY about drm free games? Except yours alone?

    You fucked up and are directing it, most other people get it, but now you double down, that won’t make it worse lol. Your provided false information, lied, provide no proof of your claims. I’m done now, you aren’t even discussing in good faith, and I’ve been patient and provided my sources to back my claims up. You can’t even be arsed to do the same.
