GOG makes another statement on digital video game ownership🚀

“There's a reason California’s digital ownership law didn't apply to GOG: when you buy a game here, you actually get to keep it.”

Formerly, they also stated:

“Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc, and it's yours forever. You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.”

✅GOG is known for their DRM-free games which become yours once you buy them

✅They allow you to download offline installers for every game, and even copy it on a disc to keep it forever

Much respect to GOG for being on the right side of history and respecting gamers🫡

Keep up the pressure!
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

@AppleSupport is a f*cking joke. My MacBook started presenting horizontal lines on the display for no reason, one week after the warranty is over. Genius Bar charged me £550, took my laptop and I have to go IN STORE to get it back. Happy f*cking birthday Thalles.

Hot take: the only reason Hellblade 2 is divisive is because Microsoft has failed to release good First Party games and everyone was expecting it to be Xbox’s saviour. It’s a fine sequel and it’s just sad that it can’t simply exist without people questioning its existence

@joelnet @Apeli Joel is right. The alternative is much worse.
