I know this is the pirate sub, but it seems kinda rough to be undermining GOG since their one of the few that releases DRM free shit. Dont we have torrents? Why do we specifically need to fuck with GOG?
I personally went there for games I wanted to try but wasn't sure I'd like. I've purchased a few of those games later, as well. I have no problem with them, but I find myself less and less likely to buy most PC games anymore unless I try before I buy or download a demo if the game has one.
It's not a good excuse for messing with a platform like GOG, but I ain't not any better reasoning.
Thats fair tbh, while not all pirates are selfish dicks, none of us can claim to be saints, so your reasoning is fair enough to me
Is this site in any way actually "fucking with" GOG? They use their name, but if they are providing DRM free installers, what difference does it make that you get it from there or a torrent? I don't think GOG notices or suffers.

I mean, yeah sure, if you wanna be the dickhead kind of pirate I guess.
