leave_it_blank

I only use Gog, and the good thing is, as you wrote, I CAN take my stuff and just leave, not that I would have any reason to at the moment.

Well, I do have other accounts like Steam and Ubisoft, but that's only about ten games in total. Stopped buying there a long time ago when I realised I can't backup my purchases and have to use their platforms to play.

I do miss out on many AAA titles, but seriously, they don't appeal to me anymore. And I can wait until they drop on gog eventually.

But I don't really see the problem in multiple accounts. If not owning is not a problem for someone why should he/she care?

I started to play a year ago, but dropped it pretty fast. Though I really liked it.

If they put in the effort and implement a good save game system and proper mouse/keyboard controls, they can have my money!

Where were you when the other hundred genocides around the world happened?

Thank you! I have about 5 games on steam, so I haven't installed it on my system. The only interesting one is Doom 2016, so for a moment I thought I could download the installer as a backup without having to use steam anymore in the future when I do want to play it again. Would have been nice. Thanks for clarifying!

So no installer then? Or can you download that separately?

So it's possible to download the installer through steam, store it somewhere and ten years later I can just start the installer without having steam on my system?

Asking out of curiosity, I don't use steam, I never thought that would be possible?

For me it was the other way around. FMA had the better story with a drift at the end into the twilight zone, while FMAB drifted into a generic action show. I never understood the hype.

That Gabe that made not owning shit you paid for popular?

Be careful what you wish for...

One good thing that came out of this mess was that I discovered Gamer's Nexus, information packed and down to earth. I'd rather have 20 minutes of information than 5 minutes plus 15 minutes showmanship.

I know what you mean, but you still don't own the game, you have permission to play it, at least as long as the platform lets you or it closes. For now it's all good, but when the time comes people will loose accounts worth thousands of bucks.

You want to really own your game, not just a license, buy on gog. Not on Steam, not on Epic, not on uplay and whatever else.

Why is everyone so pissed at Ubisoft, they just say what's practise for years now! And sometimes counter Ubisoft by quoting Gabe Newell, what the fuck? He made not owning games popular!
