WYSI

I was experimenting with Linux for a long time, but haven’t migrated fully. W11 was the breaking point for me. Everything built with unnecessarily heavy Electron making the user experience much slower than W10 pretty much forced my hand.

It doesn’t tell if it has Steam DRM, it does when it has a 3rd party DRM.

DRM can still ruin the user experience a lot.

For a simple example, I have bought Fallout 3 on Steam, but I cannot run that version on Steam on an old Windows 7 machine by default even though its specs are enough to run it, I need to do some workarounds to launch Steam in the first place, and at that point I’d rather download it from a pirate site.

How would my experience be on the same machine with GOG? I can download it directly from the site, or if I cannot connect to it because of browser incompatibility somehow, I can save a downloaded copy to my flash drive from another computer, then transfer its files and it works.

Some old games might not implement Steam DRM and therefore work with the file transfer, but it doesnt work all the time. On GOG it always works because no DRM.

GOG games you download can be copied and played on any other computer without the need to connect to an external server. You do not even need the GOG Galaxy client to install the games you bought there.

Though Valve is a fair argument

Football games. I don’t see any gameplay difference between one made in 2007 and the latest football game, so why people still decide to drop 60$ for the very same game every year is something i don’t get.
