Gog galaxy ubisoft connection lost free#
I am just telling you DRM Free isn't just some gimmick it's a value proposition for many people. Since you mention hypotheticals, If Steam shut down you would have the same problem of having to backup your DRM free Steam games.Īnyways I'm not arguing about what you do with your library, or where you buy your games, who has a bigger library and better services. GOG games are just a simple self-extracting exe file, it's pretty easy to copy and paste shit and organize your files in folders. Spend a few quid and get an external HD? Look into some cloud solutions? Backing up data isn't that hard. I'm sure Denuvo will fuck over plenty of people in the future so DRM is still a shadow looming over the playability of your library in the future.ĭRM isn't a buzzword, it's a problem for game preservation and it's great you don't give a fuck but some people actually like to revisit their libraries and play older games and don't want to have to resort to using cracks to play games they paid for. Luckily we raised a big enough stink for them to fix it. Ubisoft fucked over a ton of people this year who owned Might & Magic X by shutting down a DRM server.

This may not be exactly Steam's problem but it was bullshit I had to buy another copy of a game on a different store because of a shit DRM version sold on Steam.

For instance, Crysis has a limited number of installs on Steam with SecuROM so I ended up buying the GOG version so I could revisit the game after hitting the installation limit on a few machines.

I have a few examples of publisher fuckery that killed games in my library on Steam, especially for games that use SecurROM and GFWL.
