GOG basically acknowledges piracy in a meme

DRM-free doesn't mean piracy. GOGs whole business model is built around selling games DRM free. I don't pirate but I do use GOG where possible as I hate DRM - it punishes and inconveniences legitimate users for piracy and doesn't even solve the problem. DRM is just an expensive waste of money for everyone involved.

how is this acknowledging piracy ?

OP doesn't understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

Good guy GOG wants you to actually own your own games, forever.

Drm-free isn’t piracy

ALL ANTI-CHEAT IS SPYWARE.

ALL DRM IS THEFT.

I own and buy games from GOG. Especially if its a game i like. That way its actually mine. I hope they never change.

Meme doesn't make sense in this context, but do love me some GOG.

No, it does not.

GOG is always my first choice to buy games.
It's a bit frustrating that you have to dive into the forum and check whether the developers actually maintain their GOG release properly before buying though.

I love GOG for not having DRM.

It makes pirating shit I want to check out before I buy way easier and safer because I just need to find the GOG installer instead of some dubious crack.

Thanks, GOG, for giving me the ability to demo games to see if they are actually worth the price. 👍

No.

if i own a piece of software i should have the right to put that software on a usb and lend it to a friend for the weekend or someshit

Gog tries but its only drm free till its not.

Looking at you Cult of the lamb!

I like GoG because I can download an executable and load it into wine, which is less easy with steam for Mac. Though they make that harder these days than they used to.

I know the Mac isn’t ideal for gaming but I don’t want to buy a whole other computer and have to deal with KVM and monitor switching just to play games that were released in 2004.

GOG doesn't really have pirated games or any of that gray market nonsense. It is on the same level as steam in terms of it being a first party seller

if there is one thing I love, it's corporations trying to 'meme'. Nothing makes me unfollow or block an account faster.
