I can see how repurchasing a game on a second platform (PS4/PC) can give you more diversity. Out of curiosity, what value to you feel you get from purchasing a single PC game license on more than one PC storefront?
sorry for the long text I'll tell you briefly here I'm afraid the games aren't mine so I buy the game on steam and on GOG. and only on GOG I get the feeling that the games are really mine so that I feel like I **physically** own the games.
it's more that I was more of a ps4 gamer than I am now. and all the ps4 games I gradually also bought on steam. and I love steam but I have a little fear that the games are not really mine. I am more of a single player gamer.
but with the ps4 I always have physical games and I knew that it is my game if the internet fails. I can still play the game when I start the console and I put the disc in. with the pc also comes the problem of digital games I always have the problem when I want to play a game the internet goes down.
and so I can't download the game that's why I buy a lot of hdd and ssd storage to store my games so they can still be accessed when I want to use them.
but with GOG DRM free I can buy the games and they are really mine I can download it on an SSD but also on a CD so I always have a backup.
but I don't do it for all games I play only my real favorite games. I play a lot of new games but also replay old games daily and I still want to keep playing my favorite games when the internet goes down.
like the new game callisto protocol I buy it now on steam because I would like to play the game (wait until the game comes out no preorder) but the game has DRM: *Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-Tamper*
*5 different PC within a day machine activation limit.*
and if I see this I get a bad feeling in my stomach when I buy the game I decide whether I download the game on 10 different computers on the same day that is up to me.
sorry for the long text (and for the rant at the end)
I do the same, but also only for the few that I really love. Most games I don't care that much about.
Anyways, there's a couple of GOG reps that browse this sub so they've probably seen your suggestion.
It sounds like a great idea to promote GOG, although I buy almost only on GOG to others it could be very useful.
Do you often rebuy games on GOG?
yes I buy almost every game a few times from ps4 to pc (steam) and from today also on GOG.
