minus-squareMwa@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days ago … Does anyone still wonder why I boycotted all other gaming platforms other than steam? what about GOG?
minus-squareMystikIncarnate@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoOh, right, they’re cool. Along with humble bundle. Those guys are cool too.
minus-squareTruscape@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoGOG is awesome but limited - I can’t think of any modern multiplayer game sold on GOG. Lot of great singleplayer ones though.
minus-squareMwa@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoI assume Steam makes it easier to make multiplayer games then GOG?
minus-squareTruscape@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoMuch more so - I think largely because of Steam’s game server networking and update infrastructure. Also anti-cheats (of any sort) and DRM-free games are kind of oil and water.
