It is however transferable and resellable legally. Digital only versions, even DRM free are not.

In my opinion, this has been one of the only things about consoles that has been a plus side compared to PC. Now that is gone and I can't imagine why anyone would stay except out of a lack of finances to move to PC.

Also, nope. If people only liked digital DRM free games because you could pirate them GOG wouldn't exist and it would have been out of business years ago. You are believing corporate propaganda with that lie.

I like DRM free because games with DRM usually run like shit or at least noticably worse compared to DRM free.

Also, you ever had a day off work to game during a Steam or PlayStation outage? I was able to play all of my GOG games with zero problem. I don't even know if GOG has ever gone down before, because it doesn't matter to let me play my games. Same thing with SOME physical PlayStation games usually single player. Could play that during outages too.

    I think the not allowed to be resold and saying so on the box must depend on your country. In mine it is allowed and doesn't say you can't on the box just that you have to abide by Sony terms of service and all that which they've said before doesn't prohibit you reselling the discs.

    I know what DRM is but DRM free games are still restricted in that I can't trade or sell it however if gog ever banned me since I already have the offline installers backed up I could still continue to enjoy my games and they can't ever take them away short of suing me or something.

    Sony already said before you can sell and trade disc games (which is why they are going after them now)

    Also GOG has an annual revenue of around $250 million. I think they (CDPR) just wanted to focus more on being a game publisher instead of running a competing storefront against steam.
