Buy games on GoG when you can

    I prefer to buy from Steam because they allow me to play my games easily and invest time and money in Linux which results in more freedom for all gamers. I've been very disappointed with GoG's record on Linux.

    You still don't own them. Read their ToS.

    They don't have to provide a way to install the games in perpetuity, but I'm pretty sure the ToS don't provide a way for them to stop you from keeping or running a DRM free copy you've downloaded.

    So sure, the ToS says you don't own the game, but unlike ubisoft that puts that non-ownership into practice, GOG goes out of their way to make that legal non-ownership utterly meaningless. If you have a copy of the game, then you have a copy of the game.

    ToS doesn't mean squat here if the law says otherwise. It's insane to me that US has this the reverse.
