Quoting: Cyba.CowboySadly, the overwhelming majority of GOG.com's catalog is either old and / or indie titles, or so-called "shovelware"; "AAA titles" are few and far between in the overall catalog.

Still, it just highlights the point. Even if GOG delists something in a way that removes the game from your account (which they don't usually even in the above case), if you take care to do backups, you'll still have it. So it's not really about all digital itself. That was my main point.

But yes, you are right that many games aren't available DRM-free. It is improving to some degree though? GOG has more newer games from big publishers than in the past these days.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThis is the most obvious downside to going all-digital, and a big part of the reason console manufactures are pushing this for the future... All-digital means you don't "own" anything and can have your purchase taken away at any time.

Wrong. It's the most obvious downside of using DRM. All digital DRM-free allows you to make your own backups, and no one can take it away at any time then any more than physical media you store it on. So if anything, GOG is the example of why DRM-free is important to prevent that.

Delisting usually happens not because GOG doesn't like the games, but becasue developers or publishers pull them or something happens to affect rights of the games (like some kind of dispute / legal limbo upstream).

So I doubt there is any point to blame GOG for it. If you want to get an idea, try to dig into those publisher names and see if anything is going on with them, that info might not be completely unavailable.

Quoting: KlaasSo… was this about his infamous tweet where he compared installing Linux because Windows was garbage to moving to Canada or was it completely random?

Apparently moving to Canada equals Linux support for him.

QuotePlayers who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban

Must be so "smart" to ban potentially paying users. Morons.

And Tim Sweeney can move to Canada and get lost.

Not using it, but I see a ton of reports that it's bugged in the game.

I suppose they'll follow up with bug fixes soon enough.

Sounds reasonable.

That's cool and a good move for Microsoft.

How will Wine handle it, will they pull in changes from .NET's fork back into Mono?
