    You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought."

  2. GOG design changes are bad:
    - they've put a big GOG Galaxy button at the top (useless app imo, partially goes against the GOG idea)
    - navbar items aren't "click to open menu," but "click to navigate / hover to open menu," which is unexpected

    Also, they haven't fixed game covers expanding on hover, which blocks the view of nearby items.

  6. 🇩🇪 Weil Windows euch nervt oder um im Rahmen des DiDay unabhängiger von BigTech zu werden oder einfach, weil ihr Spiele DRM-frei nutzen wollt. Für die Nutzung der europäischen Firma GOG gibt es diverse Gründe.

    Nun soll mehr Fokus auf Linux gelegt werden, wie GOG vor einiger Zeit durch ein Statement sowie eine Stellenausschreibung ankündigte. Wer also der Meinung ist, dass sich Good old Games im Fediverse in guter Gesellschaft befinden würde, findet hier den Link zum Voting auf GOG:

  8. After nearly two decades of active use, my Steam account—worth thousands of dollars—has been deleted. While the loss is significant, it’s also a statement. In a world where many still cling to the illusion of democracy, sometimes the only way to protest the catastrophic actions of the United States is to withdraw support, even in small but meaningful ways. #steam #steamaccount #videogames #goodoldgames #gog #jeuxvideo

  10. @btp My preferred method right now is to purchase DRM-free copies of what I want.

    That, and my approach to dealing with ... which is to just copy it. Since copying abandonware neither causes financial loss nor causes property loss to the IP owner, it is not theft, I would argue.

  14. #MafiaII (Classic) ist seit gestern Abend ein zweites Mal von mir durchgespielt.

    Da es unter #Windows11 immer zu Abstürzen im Spiel kam, bin ich erst auf #pop_os und schließlich auf #CachyOS ausgewichen (mstdn.io/@moortaube/1157487452).

    Als nächstes folgt #MafiaIII: Definitiv Edition. Das spiele ich dann von Anfang an auf CachyOS.

  16. Pelaajien rakastama, DRM-vapaa pelikauppa GoG on myyty

    Kauas Good Old Games ei kuitenkaan karkaa, sillä kaupan nykyinen omistaja, puolalainen CD Projekt, myy GOG:n CD Projektin toiselle perustajalle.

  18. Age of Wonders premier du nom ne coûte quasiment rien en ce moment, je me suis dit que j'allais faire un petit voyage dans le temps vidéoludique.

    Pas de bol, le vénérable titre plante au bout de deux minutes avec ce message en image.

    Une idée de ce que je dois bricoler pour que ça tourne ?

    Merci d'avance 🎮 Le partage dépoussière les pixels des anciens jeux sympa.

  19. GOG seems to be hiring for new people to join their team in game preservation. They've opened up for 4 different role types.

  20. Nach einer langen Zeit und mehreren Ansätzen habe ich heute endlich #Mafia (Classic) durchgespielt.

    😊

    Vor acht Jahren habe ich zum ersten Mal die GOG.com-Version gespielt. Dann, vor fünf Jahren, habe ich richtig ernsthaft mit einem neuen Spiel angefangen. Und vor ungefähr fünf Wochen habe ich mir jede Woche einen Abend freigenommen, um die Story zu Ende zu spielen!

  22. Love how GOG always sends a thank you email if you put a little extra into their game preservation program in addition to your order 🙂‍↕️🫶🏻💕

  23. I just discovered that the GOG bundles have "Complete your collection" prices which scale with how many games of a bundle you already own.
    That's so great! 🥰
    Glad that they have this, too, now I just think they don't advertise this enough 👀
    Might or might not take a deal or two in the coming weeks 🤭

  26. #GoG is having a "Freedom to Buy" giveway to protest the groups seeking to have games removed from online storefronts. You've got about 14 hours remaining to grab Postal 2, Agony and if it's your thing, "romance simulators", 😛

    Link: items.gog.com/freedomtobuy/ind

    Word of warning, clicking "Claim" on any game on this list claims them all. I clicked on Postal 2 and now I have "Lust Theory - Season 1" and other timeless classics.

  30. It's taken a bit of work, and I still have to do some work on the way the fonts are rendering but I've done it.

    I've got the 30 year old Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual working on my Steamdeck.

    It's the perfect device for it.

  31. #GoG now supports time based 2FA apps in addition to the email based 2FA they already had.

    If you log into the website you may even have an account notification that will take you directly to the place to set it up.

  33. I hate this "pop-up card" UI design in GoG. It blocks the content of neighboring cards and constantly pops up while scrolling.

  35. This is like anti gaming for me. Generally speaking, the

    "Hunt / Shoot / Garrotte fellow humans"

    genre of #Gaming is just not my cup of tea. Fantastical enemies, weapons, setting, scenarios can hide much the kill other people loop. and there is always monsters, aliens, demons, and gods to slay. Injustices to right, Revenges to be wrought etc.

    But go hunt and kill target human, no thanks.

    But hey, I ain't e'rybody

    For every one else there is #Hitman

  36. @aaronsgiles Yes you cannot get through GOGs support. I think we need an inside contact.

    Anyone knows someone from the internal GOG team and can make a connection?

    X-Wing Alliance is broken too.

  37. Ya know what game I would really like to buy from #GoG? DRM free, no launcher required, etc. version of #MassEffect Legendary Edition. Even though I already own it on Steam/EA, I absolutely love those games and feel like it's one of those collections that "needs" to be preserved long term outside of EA's launcher or ecosystem. I'd pay full price all over again just to have a copy without any EA launcher requirement or other DRM.
