Yeah for external DRM, but if a game has Steam DRM, then there's no official label or warning.

For example, Witcher 3 is DRM-free on Steam, but there's nothing (AFAIK) on the Steam page saying that.

Epic Games is a scumbag company :)

Well the new owner, was one of the original founders.

As long as games stop using shitty Epic Online Services, I'll take GOG's.

Steam don't disclose it, there's no tag or label on the store page. Which is fucking shitty, either oversight or business decision. So you would never know unless you tried launching the executable yourself, looked it up online or the game was marketed that way.

But yeah, with GOG, you just instantly know.

Steam does allow DRM-free games, it's up to whoever is publishing the game to the platform.
GOG just currently requires it.

Most of the games on GOG are also DRM-free on Steam.

So it's really just looking at prices and other features that is the defining factor. Considering Steam's Linux support, GOG is off the table for me.

Piracy... let the courts deal with it. It's no business of a government.

If companies want less piracy, they can choose to provide a better and more affordable product.

It would, at least with the initial cast. I don't know if they have added any movement creep kind of stuff since.

Overwatch had hyper mobile characters and worked well, even with its low FOV (it really needed higher FOV).

I'd like to try it in first person. Third person fucking sucks for shooters.

Should be less of a requirement in Divinity anyway. D&D isnt suited to be a video game, it was made for table top. I "save scummed" a lot lot less in DOS2.

The random game over screens sucked too, its like why even have the dialogue option if you are just going to be hit with game over and no other cutscenes.

Also you had to quick save a lot because of all the bugs and inconsistencies.

Why even bother? New concept ideas are better coming straight from the mind rather than using a model to regurgitate existing things.
