Which is better, GOG or the Epic Games Store?

[vulonkaaz's iconvulonkaaz]

the only good thing about the epic store is the weekly free games apart from that and fortnite and unreal engine there is not a single good reason to use that thing

the thing is so bad it can sometimes just lose your installed games or think it lost them and want to just redownload the entire thing

you cannot even just tell the launcher you already have the game files it's not smart enough to have that feature, the only way to do that is to lowkey make the launcher glitch out and it actually is the official way to do it according to the support

compared to Steam, the Steam launcher is so smart if there is another computer on your LAN which has the game it will just get it from that computer and install it as fast as your local net can possibly be

I have a friend who plays fortnite and has a bad internet connection I know how infuriating the epic launcher can be

Nah guys I'm so glad that all of ya here think like me and prefer GOG over any other store... Also they really care for making older games playable on new hardware and releasing DRM-free games... That's good 'cause my classmates really liked some of the games I was playing and I simply downloaded the game offline and send it to them so they could give it a try, hurra GOG!

What games you own in gog?

Epic games store wouldn't exist if Fortnite didn't, GOG is better for old gaming by a lot, no DRM is awesome so you can be sure you *own* your games even if GOG is down for good

they don't accept every pron game I think Super Seducer 3 got b& from steam cause of irl adult content (or something like that i don't remember the story)

Which one do you think is the better store for PC games?

For their library and their lack of DRM, GOG beats literally everything. I hate a bunch of things about the way their website is formatted though

 

[rocking3]

GOG ≥ Steam > Epic

 

[vulonkaaz's iconvulonkaaz]

itch.io mogs every single store including gog tbh, they just got a bad reputation cause idk, maybe cause it's just too easy to publish games there or something

Well, I'd say Steam for AAA games (Which I'll never like), Itch.io for indie games, and GOG for classic old-school gems. The only one that would be left behind like the crap it is would be Epic games lmao

I never understood their policies for shit like that. You can have 'hitler femboy sim' but something like Clanpool or Vns like Full Metal Daemon Muramasa(peak) aren't allowed due to some bs.

DVD/CD because im 100% sure I can install and play should internet go down or gog or steam or epic disappear for ever.

clearly never heard of disk rot

(gog games are meant to be downloaded copied and stored offline)

My disk have never got that disk rot

There are still DRMs on them.

And some are requiring online connection too.

I'd even say that GoG had some builds made for modern OS so they work better.

clearly you don´t know how to take care of games also never heard of game ripping and NAS. I have games that still works on media that´s probably older than you.

Aight man no need to make this an argument, you can explain to him how to evade disk rot by being chill lmao

and im the one get chewed out he could just shut up instead of being snarky. Man the forum starts to look allot like on the discord now....... Fracking great Discord all over again. Gonna tell me I should kill my self as well ?

Don´t like me fine just fucking ignore me instead then. You do know there is an ignore button on peoples profile bloody use it.

Dude, really, chill out... Nobody is attacking you, I'm just trying to keep you both out of trouble by evading an argument.

i know how to copy a disc

most physical games have DRMs made to make the copies unlaunchable unless it's cracked (often they actually make the games unlaunchable at all but that's another story)
if we don't mind cracking steam games aren't much harder to preserve than physical games
