GOG.com had some fun at the expense of
rival store Steam in a
posting on X
following the news that
Valve has a new checkout warning reinforcing that licensed games on Steam are
not owned. All games sold on GOG are DRM-free, and cannot be revoked, resulting
in a little pwnership on ownership:
Since checkout banners are trending,
we're thinking of putting one up ourselves. Thoughts on this one?
A purchase of a digital product on GOG grants you its Offline Installers, which
cannot be taken away from you.
I mean the obvious downside to GOG is that the odds of them having the game you want is incredibly low, and that particularly "benefit" is the main reason their selection is so tiny.
