I am getting a new gaming pc soon and was wondering that if it was downloaded on this pc, would i have to buy it again to download on my next pc?

No. Download the installers and run them on your new PC when you get it.
If you use Galaxy, go to More->Backup and Goodies or however it's called to grab the installers.

Waiting for FedEx to deliver my new PC right this minute. It's good that we can do this, but I'm still not looking forward to all that downloading. :P

Haha, same here. Patience is scarce when you got a load of stuff to download and a limited internet connection.

One thing I should point out: The question asked by the topic title and the question you ask in your post are not the same, and in fact require opposite responses. This is rather confusing.

Well, if you have the installer saved on your old PC, you can just transfer it to the new PC via home network or USB flash drive and run it on the new PC.

Isn't DRM-free gaming wonderful? (DRM would likely prevent, or make it difficult, to do this.)

Just remember that if you have saved games, you will need to transfer them manually from old PC to new one. Don't delete them off PC, or format its HD, till you do.

Unless it's a game with cloud saving enabled.

No, it's not. He's asking exactly the same thing, but phrasing it differently. The title refers to whether or not he can DL a game he already bought from GOG onto a new computer if he's already DLed it onto an old one. The post itself fills in a bit more by asking the question implied in the title: do I have to buy it again?

The issue here is that, while they may be asking the question in different ways, the answer required is different. A yes answer to one question means the opposite of a yes answer to the other one; hence the same answer can't be used for both.

(Also, how do you know this new poster is a "he"?)

No, I disagree, it doesn't.

You constantly try to do this. I decline to engage.

I think the askers question has been well answered.

DTGreene has to make EVERYTHING about gender or gender politics. I usually just ignore when she does it, and just focus on other parts of her answers or responses. it takes a bit of time but its worth doing.

Are you male or female? What should we call you: he, she, it?

I know we could refer to you as "they", but that would imply you have a multiple personality disorder, ie. that you are a wacko.

Frankly, we wouldn't have this problem if everyone spoke Finnish. In the Finnish language there is a gender-neutral "hän", which refers both to males and females, and anything in between.

Having a home file server is nice, I have all of my GOG games downloaded to it so I just have to run the installers from my network. (My GOG folder is about 1.33 TB in case you're wondering)

No need even for a file server. I simply have all my GOG game installers on two 2TB USB hard drives. (Two, because I am already past the 2 TB size with my GOG game collection).

I don't keep second back ups as long as GOG is around. GOG servers are my secondary online backup. :)

"They" is, in fact, the correct English way to refer to any arbitrary person without specifying gender. "It" implies that they're not a person at all.

In Sweden we have, for some godforsaken reason, chosen to adopt -and misspell, of course- the Finnish "hän" (spelled "hen" - the normal gendered words being "han" for "he" and "hon" for "she"). I'd wager that it's an unintentional adoption of the Finnish word though, and likely just a result due to the only difference between our gendered words being a different vowel, so whoever started it just replaced it with a third vowel to make the ungendered word (and with the vowel they chose, it became a female bird in English instead of the meaning they intended in Finnish).
