GOG or nothing. Because DRM-free or nothing.

Oh look, this topic again.

Oh really? That's absolutely new to me. Censoring reviews would be a new low-point for GOG.

I'll use Steam, GOG, Origin, Battle.net / Battle App, Humble... hell even uPlay (if I must). I'll shop where the games I want are available.

No need to tie yourself to one provider... competition is good!

He's full of it! GOG doesn't censor anything and anyone who ████ anything to contrary can ███ my ███!

I'm tire of this ████! "The won't ███ me █████!"

Bull████! GOG has never and will never ██████ ██████!

I'll use whatever I need to play the games I want to play.
Except for 'always online' DRM.

I only started this topic to see what everyone's thoughts were, I did look for other topics but hadnt seen them and was just starting a friendly discussion about both.

I like GoG for the community and games they offer, plus DRM free is freaking great as is their sales. I'd say their sales are sometimes better than Steam. I wont lie if I buy a "legit" game, not a pirated one, which I have seen people do in the past, I should own that game without having to worry about whos gonna tell me who can use it or not. What I dont like atm is they dont have a lot of games I am looking for, but lol they have a lot I do like. And for pricing, I want to get Star Trek Starfleet Command Gold Edition which costs $5.99 here and on Steam it's $9.99. I've noticed a great many of their games are higher on Steam than on GoG.

Steam I like for their vast collection of sales and games. What I hate about them is that when you buy a game, you are told only you can use that game on that computer without having to jump through umpteen numbers of hoops to use it on another computer. Now for multiplayer I can understand this reasoning, but not for simple Single Player. Plus their community is horrendous and they'll ban you for any number of reasons and give you a dozen excuses as to why. Plus Support here is more responsive I've found than the whole Steam combined.

I'll use any service which allows me to use the software in a fair and ethical maner. For me, the simultanious and effortless use of different licences on different machines is an absolute must.

Which rules out Steam

GoG is perfect, except the lack of some games I or my children want.

I rate Origin higher than Steam, for usefulness.

For reference, the "unfavorable review" is (in its entirety):

If I find solutions for the problems below, I will update my review.

NO WIDESCREEN SUPPORT - game runs ony on several predetermined resolutions, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200. That means that on the most common gaming resolution, 1920x1080, you will have to run the game in a centered, non-scaled rather small box. That's very strange since the original Homeworld could be switched into any resolution via a simple command line parameter

TEXTURE FILTRATION DOES NOT WORK - no matter what renderer you select, textures are not filtered and will appear "pixelized" like on old software rendered games. Pretty ugly. To answer your question: allowing unrestricted editing of reviews at any time opens a whole new can of worms. Not the least of which would be trolling by for example posting a good review, waiting for it to get to the top page, then changing it to the exact opposite of what it initially was.
Not saying the current system is perfect, since you can't edit a review for an obsolete version for example, however simply allowing anyone to edit their reviews anytime won't fix it. It needs a complete overhaul that at the very least allows you to sort by date so you can see what review was written when. However at its current state, given a choice between "never edit" and "edit anytime" I'd choose the former.

And for the future here is a tip to anyone writing reviews: when you write a review, write a review.

In the meantime, if you absolutely must change yours, contact support. They can edit it.

The only things Steam has over GOG is a bigger library and social networking things. However Steam is flooded with a lot of Early Access games that remain frozen (harder to sift through to find a good game), a forced online mode ("Offline Mode" is only offline until Steam "phones home"), and games that use Steamworks CEG are still locked to a single computer. I am not a fan of Steam's refund policy either, especially since the terms are not up front (its buried deep in fine print while GOG's 30 day policy is much easier to see).

Admittedly I do like the ability to upload art to Steam and share it but I like GOG better overall.

Some Early access games are actually pretty good. Subnautica and Ark Survival to name a few. But then again you get games like "Instinct" which you buy give them the money and they "cancel" production for "unknown reasons" and now you are out the money and Steam wont refund you the money if the developers cancel the game. I was kinda mad about that and so were the rest of the gamers who got scammed by that company.

GOG (Or any other way of getting a DRM-free copy of a game) every time. I like owning copies of games, not a license that says I can play it for as long as I want as long as I have internet (In some cases), or until they decide to stop giving users access to the game. I've never bought - or rather rented - anything from steam and I don't think I ever will. In my opinion, a developer that only releases their game on steam doesn't deserve my money - if they wanted my money they would make it available on at least two platforms to ensure one doesn't get a monopoly.

P.S: Monopoly is a good game and you should play it.

DayZ is also a prime example of this from what I have read on Steam. It definitely seemed like a moneygrab. I also like GOG better for the same reasons the OP mentioned. The problem is, as it seems, that the developers/publishers are more reluctant to push patches out for the GOG versions of their games or so it seems.

I've visited many forums and reviews of the game themselves where developers or is it the publishers, in one way or another, treat their GOG customers as second class.

Locked to a single computer? Do you mean that only one person can play the game at a time? Then yes.

Also, Steam is not supposed to 'phone home' and as far as I know it doesn't. It's been buggy over the years, that's for sure, but there's also people who have offline mode on for really long periods of time without being required to go back online.

I thought CEG files are created at download, locking that file to that computer. Meaning if you copied and pasted the Steam folder to another machine it wouldn't work.

I didn't think copying the Steam Folder (set offline before) to another computer would work, but I was pleasently surprised to see it did.
