This is true, but a way I see it is with GOG I can download all my installers so even if they go under/I lose access/whatever I still have my games. (I understand why they don't, but it's still not great support.) Gog's "support" for Linux is so big, they aren't even making a client. Some games of Steam are DRMed, some are not. even GPLed software - that's what the "L" is all about! So you neither own nor rent it. Wherever you get software from a store, you get a licence.
gog does support linux, there might be cases where there isnt a version but most of the time they sell them.
I feel gog fits the same philosophy as linux in terms of freedom. Steam is drm and you dont own those games, you rent them. Quoting: Eike Quoting: InstallI prefer buying on gog over steam since you own the games. The amount of games releasing on GOG has been increasing every year too, although it's nothing close to what Steam has, since GOG do a little more curation on what they accept (which is at times a little weird on what they deny). Nothing close to how they were doing in 2020 though, which they attribute the spike that year to Cyberpunk 2077 and COVID-19 increasing sales due to people being at home more.Īs for their market split they're seeing 53% from Europe, 37% from North America, 4% Asia, 4% Australia and New Zealand and 2% elsewhere. They're also reporting a net profit of $1.2M USD, noting they're losing around 4% due to suspending operations in Russia and Belarus.
However, GOG Galaxy only "remained consistent", so it seems they aren't seeing much growth for their launcher. In their new post, they showed that for 2022 they have seen an 11% increase in active users across all of GOG services with an 18% increase in their overall user base. Back in 2021, I reported on how in the CD PROJEKT financials, it showed that GOG was losing money, so it seems they may be starting to turn things around a little bit. Game store GOG has a new blog post up detailing how they're doing, and it seems like things are starting to go a bit better for them.
