I do love Steam, but at the same time, it required me to intall significant 32 bit support on my system. It's just sitting there, using 2GB of RAM and 20% of a cpu while the window isn't even open.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
GOG is awesome!
Bro, I've got like 25 hours in the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, on my Steam Deck and laptop.
Yesterday, an update caused the game to launch with a black screen. So I tried a few different Proton versions, before I start getting a new error.
I take a look at the discussion board for the game on Steam... Fucking Denuvo considers each version of Proton to be a separate "activation" and it will only allow five BEFORE LOCKING YOU OUT OF THE GAME FOR 24 HOURS.
I have never really given a shit about Denuvo before, but this is so fucking infuriating. I paid for this game. I've already played 25 hours of this game. Now I can't fucking play it?
Unbelievable. Denuvo is fucking trash, and I guess now I'm one of those people who avoids it.
Happened with the new DOOM too. I just wait for AAA games to remove DRM as a precaution.
Thanks for the heads up, was going to get that for my wife to try. I'll just spin up the ISO instead.
The game itself is outstanding (but I may be biased since the original is one of my favorite games of all time)
I agree. Said ISO is an image of the PS1 disc which is safely in its case :D.
I love having to individually download all 50 parts to a game and write my own install script (the GOG experience on Linux).
You- you what????? Why. Lutris. Just use lutris, holy shit.
There's like 5 managers that support one click install on Linux. Why are you pretending to live in the stone age?
He likes it like that. Shit, he Loves it. Says so right off the bat. Just because this ain't baseball doesn't mean he's not home.
Maybe this was true five years ago, but with heroic I've never had any setup issues.
Heroic works pretty well.
I can second this.
How common is that? I have maybe 5 games from GOG and none of them are like this.

Yeah, don't need to read further. I just avoid their crap on reflex.
It sounds like gog is pretty great, with their DRM free software.
I'm generally indifferent towards steam but I'm under the impression that they've contributed a lot to the recent developments in Linux gaming compatibility, and this has removed a pretty big hurdle for people who want to move away from windows, and I just think that's swell.
I own ~670 games on GOG and lease 292 on Steam.
I’ve played maybe five of my GOG games to completion. I’m a gamer, dammit!
