Bro, I've got like 25 hours in the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, on my Steam Deck and laptop.

Yesterday, an update caused the game to launch with a black screen. So I tried a few different Proton versions, before I start getting a new error.

I take a look at the discussion board for the game on Steam... Fucking Denuvo considers each version of Proton to be a separate "activation" and it will only allow five BEFORE LOCKING YOU OUT OF THE GAME FOR 24 HOURS.

I have never really given a shit about Denuvo before, but this is so fucking infuriating. I paid for this game. I've already played 25 hours of this game. Now I can't fucking play it?

Unbelievable. Denuvo is fucking trash, and I guess now I'm one of those people who avoids it.

It sounds like gog is pretty great, with their DRM free software.

I'm generally indifferent towards steam but I'm under the impression that they've contributed a lot to the recent developments in Linux gaming compatibility, and this has removed a pretty big hurdle for people who want to move away from windows, and I just think that's swell.

Half or more of all the games Amazon gives away through Prime are actually just GOG keys. If you already have Prime for some reason or another, you should be redeeming those free GOG keys.

I would love to buy all my games from gog, but they lack steam's regional pricing in my region, so most games are 4x the price on gog.

GOG is awesome!

GOG does have its issues and controversies, but it's still the only online gaming store with conditions I find acceptable. If the game is not available DRM Free, I don't need to play it.

I do love Steam, but at the same time, it required me to intall significant 32 bit support on my system. It's just sitting there, using 2GB of RAM and 20% of a cpu while the window isn't even open.

Seriously. I pretty much only buy things off GoG nowadays. I can back it up to my own storage, and take it wherever I want. High-five to GoG.

I've only bought one game from GOG. It was Morrowind and I'm playing via OpenMW. Good experience over all. Though I didn't use the installer or the executable that came with the game.

I really want to see more FOSS reimplementations of game engines come into existence. Wine is fine and all, but I'd much rather have a native FOSS engine.

I love gog. Sure it means I need to pay (a small amount) for some decades old stuff, but it will work perfectly every time.

No regional pricing though. GOG is outrageously expensive in my country compared to steam.
