It’s kinda weird for sure. They are pretty sweet on PC, but it does feel weird when half of them are missing. Uncharted 4 is a helluva experience, although I still think 3 has the best story.
some DRM will try to prevent injection or run by a non official launcher, make the modding process harder. So they don’t exactly prevent them, but makes it hard until someone finds a way around it.
It is, but most of their library is DRM free, so once you download it, those files are yours. Steam won't let you launch a game without logging into your account, gog doesn't even check.
GOG once did enforce the use of DRM-free executables, but (as far as I understand it) once they expanded their store to include modern AAA titles, some of the bigger game companies refused to follow that rule so they dropped the requirement.
It’s almost certainly still going through steam. Steam has a .dll in all your game folders and it interacts with Steam. You don’t have to launch it through the launcher for it to use Steam. If you ever pirate a game and look at the crack files, there will often be that same name .dll in it. This is to bypass that Steam interface. If the game came from GoG it won’t even have a crack. It just works.
As opposed to Steam, GOG will let you create backups of your games that will survive GOG itself. GOG provides offline backup installers that don’t need a launcher, internet or anything.
I always tell everyone to at least get a fully DRM-free copy of their favorite childhood gaming memory.
Sales of God of War on GOG might influence Ragnarok to come. It’d be great if Ragnarok gets ported to both Steam and GOG on release. I think Sony is very supportive, as I vaguely recall their only IP that didn’t do so well on PC was Sackboy, and it was because it didn’t hit their expected targets.
