Their tagline is literally ‘you buy it, you own it’. But does it really grants ownership?

    That’s not true at all…

    Where are you getting your information from?

    Why do you need an installer when the files are its own folder?

        And we’re talking about drm free games, which GoG only provides, which means it’s also drm free on Steam…. Steam provides OTHER games that of course have drm.

        Of course Steam has its own drm, I never said they didn’t. The picture also talks about this as well… did you not read it?

          Oh man I feel for you, you are really patient. These guys will never engage with your argument because apparently “there are multiple types of games on Steam” is too much nuance to process…

          we are not. you are. the starter of this comment chain noted that gog guarantees, as part of their offer, that the games you download are drm-free. steam does not. your reply to that said nothing about drm, leading us all to the conclusion that you were saying “you can download files for games on steam just like you can on gog”, rather than what you were apparently saying, which was that “for the games on steam that do not have drm you can download files just like you can with all games on gog”.

          The point is that you get games on GoG without DRM when buying the same game on steam may have DRM. Just because some games on steam don’t have it doesn’t change this behavior.
