Message: [QUOTE="AnonymousCookieMonster, post: 58366, member: 3229"] No more 'Free' than steam is 'Free'. They may house some free stuff but consider those crumbs to entice business, and not out of the goodness of their hearts. Profits pay for some future bandwidth costs, there's just the assumptions that enough sales will happen year over year that CDPR doesn't close them down, and to pay for said costs. It would be different, in the fact for transferring ownership it would be a physical object. You'd only register the token and get your game in your library, but if someone else registers it, it gets removed from your library. Naturally what's already downloaded and being used, can't/shouldn't be removed. Think of it more like a reusable redemption key... But since it isn't a series of hexes it isn't something that can be claimed randomly by someone else. Your downloaded and CD game? No. Your account? Certainly... or do you control the GoG servers and if they should decide to ban you? People have invested hundreds or THOUSANDS of dollars into their libraries... only to find... it can be just taken away...

Though if we have to go back to Amazon's removal of books from people's kindles ([i]Being 1984 and Animal House[/i]) that i wouldn't put anything past any of them. [/QUOTE]
