Quoting: Kame

Quoting: liamdaweActually the difference here is that gog.com's downloaders once downloaded will still work (you could backup your collection).

If Steam went down you don't have that choice since your game downloads are tied directly to their client?

Not exactly sure what you're saying here? If steam went down you'd still be able to play any games which the devs didn't put drm into.

I don't know about you but I don't have every game I own on Steam downloaded, what would happen if it went down - I wouldn't be able to download my games and play them.

It's a risk we all take and it is a risk.

Quoting: FutureSutureI know Liam isn't very fond of GOG due to their stance on Linux, and I myself haven't spent any money with them for months now either, but still, voting can only help [External Link].

By all means vote but yes I don't think very highly of gog.com for their silly stance on Linux (although I do use them for old titles you can't get anywhere else, I actually had 7 games from them - I won't pirate games).

Cleaned up the formatting a bit and accepted, it's worth discussing.

I hate it when poll results aren't public. Sounds great though.

You do not support Linux by using Tux Games, I have seen far too many posts from people not getting their games or waiting months for them. The best way to support this one is to support the Kickstarter.

Considering gog.com sells JA2 for 9.99 and its 26.00 on Tux Games as well...

GOG won't put any Linux binaries up if you want the Linux version your best bet is to contact the developers or Devolver and ask nicely for a Steam key!
