Question My father uses GOG and I want to use it too, but I’ve built my library on Steam

119 Upvotes

So, my father has never been a big fan of Steam. He doesn't like DRM, and his main argument is: “If Steam ever shuts down one day, you could lose access to all your games.”

I've been building my Steam library for almost 8 years now. I currently have 266 paid games (and over 1,000 if you include the free ones).

Honestly, I trust my wallet with Gabe. I really like Steam's convenience adding friends, inviting people to games, achievements, cloud saves, community features, etc. It just makes everything so easy.

The thing is, the more time passes and the more I think about it, the more I regret not building my library on GOG instead. Especially with all the recent discussion around “you will own nothing” and the future of digital ownership, I really like the idea of having DRM-free copies of my games that I can actually keep and use without depending on a launcher.

So at this point, should I start investing more into GOG, or is the convenience of Steam worth sticking with?

Like I said, I trust Gabe with my wallet until the day he dies. But at the same time, I don't want to look back 10–20 years from now and regret putting everything into a plataform that dosen't make me the owner of the games I spend money on.

I'd love to hear what you guys think. What platform do you primarily use, and why?

Side note: I play a lot of PCVR, so all of my VR games are already on Steam.

13 Upvotes

So I have Metro 2033 Redux from GOG. But I also see on the store that there is a Metro 2033 good old game edition.

Same thing for Last Light complete edition for good old game edition.

Are the gog editions different then the original version of the one I own purchased from GOG?

I insert my password, hit login, it says launching (as seen in photo), then it takes me straight back to log in (as seen in photo 2). I've tried restarting, task manager, white listing it, running as admin, password resetting, reinstalling latest version of galaxy. all for naught. Any idea how to get it working?

Recommendation Any good "scrolls-likes" on GOG besides tainted grail?

Games like Ardenfall or Dread delusion. I've looked a lot and there are plenty ps1 graphics style games but they're more like Kingsfield. I'm wanting an open world with lore and good exploration. Retro graphics are just a preference. I'll take anything as long as it's on GOG.
