Then let’s support the good companies to make it the rule and not exception. The market won’t change until the consumer tells them what’s important
GOG has no DRM. Once purchased you can download the files and own it. You could even write your games to CDs if you wanted and play like the old days.
Edit. I was setting up a new laptop for my Dad. I remembered we used to play an old fighter jet game when I was young. I looked it up and found out it was Falcon 3. I then found GoG sells it. So I purchased it on my account and loaded it onto his computer with no reference to GoG, no clients, etc. It was a surprise for him when he got his new computer.
So are most services and then at some point do some type of rug pull with BS EULA changes, etc. that change the functionality of what you’re using. This is prevailant in everything now a days. I’d say with Steam the writing is on the walls. They have so much power in the PC gaming market (like with the examples you gave) it’s only a matter of time.
I do see how useful and user friendly those services you mentioned are
Read their EULA, you license your “purchase”. You don’t own your games. Steam also injects their own DRM onto the vast majority of games.
I was thinking Steam but Epic, EA, Ubisoft; they’re all riddled with crap
Now let’s go one step further and quit purchasing games with DRM from a particularly large PC gaming service
Glad to hear you’re on Linux, living a more sovereign life and having an easy time with it. Mint does indeed work very well for me too. I put Mint XFCE on a ~2015 laptop that Windows was bloating down to dysfunctional. Now it works reasonably well.
You’ll hear other people say Linux works well until it doesn’t. Well so does Windows. It has many issues too that people tend to not mention. Don’t get discouraged by those people. Most of the time Linux is totally fine for normal users, it’s people trying to do abnormal things that then causes issues.

Use a fork of Firefox that doesn’t do that. For example, Ironfox
I started playing it for the first time last year and didn’t know really anything about it. I immediately noticed that how people talked didn’t seem respectful and it all seemed over the top comical. I learned that it was an English localization issue. I found the mod Yakuza Restored which makes it in Japanese but fixes the English subtitles to be accurate and the game was very enjoyable to play from that point on. I haven’t beaten it yet but I like how the main character is principle driven, it makes the story quite enjoyable.
That’s exactly right
Don’t forget UBlock Origin and being smart on the web and install programs through the software center
It’s a little convoluted to setup at first but once one understands the features you can have it do anything. I have specific podcasts skip the intro. I have ones I enjoy give me a reminder when a new one releases but other’s I love will auto download, go to my queue, and auto delete when I finish listening to them.
NFS Porsche Unleashed aka Porsche 2000 for PC. It had great physics and tons of realistic modifications you could purchase for every car. So many details in the game that made it truly great.
That’s unfortunate to hear. I doubt anything will compete with Steam with all the things you want. People need to choose to put value where it really matters and have some inconveniences. Pirating certainly won’t get you what you want. Supporting DRM free services (and the games devs) will do more good. You could download your GoG games through the Heroic launcher and it’ll use wine proton (or whatever it’s called). Also Nexus mods has a new mod manager that’ll work on Linux but it’s only in alpha stage currently.
