Sony and Nintendo won't go anywhere any time soon. Console gaming is easier and "cheaper" than PC gaming, and most people don't care (or know about) non-DRM.
Damn dude chill.
You can have a life and family and be on Lemmy or Reddit, use Linux, be a weeb or whatever they want.
Most people just choose a side and that's that.
It's a like a lazy mental state, I don't blame them, life is hard and there is so much one person can focus on.
If Trump said that all Americans will become rich, then all Americans will become rich, it doesn't matter the how or why.
I know people with wife and kids completly oblivious to politcs, but can talk about sports like some kind of experts, telling you all the tactics and player names. Some people just choose to ignore what is important because it's easier.
Nintendo would most likely sell PC games from their website first, and then after some time sell them on Steam. But the odds of Nintendo porting Switch games for PC is extremely low.
Yes GOG takes a bit more time to verify the installer, but I'm sure when Sony put the games on PC the reason was the massive Steam (and maybe Epic) userbase, GOG was an afterthought.
I'm not saying that it's a waste of effort. I'm just saying that it's a way to disapoint people that don't understand what the dreamlist is for.
Internet can be a bitch when people don't get what they want.
I just did a quick search and saw Pokémon games there and some romhacks..... No way in hell Nintendo would sell their games on PC in a non-DRM store.
God of War came to Steam first, it wasn't because of GOG efforts. The games that GOG manage to bring back (RE games and Dino Crisis for exemple) had japanese PC clients.
It's about time EU fine Meta to oblivion.
If they don't comply with the law they can fuck right off and leave the EU market.
As soon as these shitty tech companies leave, the sooner EU alternatives can rise.
What console exclusive came to GOG?
I don't belive GOG or EA would buy the license of old FIFA players just so they can publish old FIFA games.
It's better to have a smaller curated list where players can vote and GOG choose a game to focus on. Right now the fact we can vote for dead live service games to come to a non-DRM store is just weird.
If Hungary is kicked out, maybe the Hungarian people will finally turn on Orban.
How about instead of this subscription talk, GOG could:
-Remake GOG Galaxy. The client is slow with tons of bloat. Focus on your store, and make a native Linux client.
-Help fund Wine. I find it weird that the main non-DRM store is so againat Linux. I know people that would leave Steam If GOG came to Linux.
-Different version and a tool to backup games should be part of the new launcher and not part of a subscription. You guys talk about game preservations and then try to put parts of it behind a paywall.....
-A more realistic Dreamlist. Who had the idea of letting people submit any game they want? Dreamlist would work better if GOG choose a list of games and the community voted for what game for GOG to focus on. People really think that games that were console exclusive or old FIFA/NBA/Gran Turismo games will come to GOG.
-There are some games on GOG that don't work, FIX THEM! (Looking at you Kane and Lynch)
EU really needs a way to kick out members. Hungary doesn't care about EU.
I use Infomaniak from Switzerland, it's not privacy focus, but it's the closer to a gmail type of service. It comes with a full suit of apps and it's free.
