Regardless of what the fine print may say, this is effectively owning your games forever.

However, if you don’t ignore the contract you signed, this is effectively piracy. Which is fine, don’t get me wrong. But you still don’t own anything. BTW Steam has plenty of DRM-free games which you can run without the client; backing them up is a more manual process than GOG but the end result is the same.


You don’t own your games on GOG. Please stop spreading this easily disproven lie. GOG, like all digital storefronts, only sells revocable licenses.


Here’s the link to the French store: https://store.nintendo.fr/fr/nintendo-switch-2 all regional stores have similar prices in their own currencies. No details on what’s inside the box.


This is the price for the game on the official Nintendo store. DK is priced at 70€ digital and 80€ physical, it’s not just a Mario Kart thing.



This claim is dubious. Several publishers have already announced Switch 2 games.


And even if it were the best game of its genre, how can you compare it to other best games of all times like GTA SA or Mario Galaxy 2? They are totally different.


Pokémon is not a first party game, it’s developed by Game Freaks. And the Switch isn’t underpowered for this kind of games, there are lots of better looking games on it, such as Breath of the Wild, which is a launch title. Game Freaks is a terrible studio who can’t make a game run smoothly even with GameCube graphics.



Yes! BG3 and KC2 devs made amazing games but for some reason decided to have them take place in the most generic, boring medieval/fantasy setting.

I want a pirate RPG, or sci-fi, heck even a hardcore Mario CRPG.



THPS was never realistic, it’s basically Mario 64 on wheels.


Probably in-engine footage but not actual gameplay.




That is what it is. THPS1+2 is a remake of THPS 1&2 from 25 years ago. They are teasing a THPS 3+4.



Conclusion: GOG > Steam/Epic

How much do they pay you?

2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a ‘license’) to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this license in some situations, which are explained later on.


But… but… Epic funded the game, this means they physically cannot put it on Steam! Nevermind the dozens of games on Steam published by owners of competing platforms, such as UbiSoft, Activision, Sony, CDPR, EA…




Sony them promptly blew off their other foot with the $299 thing.


Technically possible to do legally if you plug a USB floppy drive and install the DOS version of Mario is Missing.



The Wii arguably has better first party games than the GC. Mario Kart Wii, Mario Galaxy, DKC Returns, New Soup, Wario Ware…





Yes they can. They cannot stop you from installing the game, but once they revoke your license, it would be piracy.

GOG shills always twist reality to try to make it conform to the “you own you games” lie, but the truth is GOG is no different than Steam.



I hope you’re paid well to spread this easily disproven lie.

A free content update is coming early 2025.


Legislation to allow installing arbitrary OS and firmware on all consumer devices.


Base Android is also loaded with crap, directly from Google. Android is the worst mobile operating system, with the exception of all the others.



I do, and then they get nationalized, as all natural monopolies should.


But have you considered all those points that are addressed in the full text of the initiative that I did not read?



How do I download anything from Nexus Mods?
I want to try out Fallout New Vegas after having watched the TV show, and beforeiplay.com recommends I use a few QoL mods, in particular one for higher resolution screens (I'm playing on a 4K monitor). So I lookup "fallout mtui", end up on [the mod's page](https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34902), hit download... and am greeted with a screen telling me I need to sign up for an account. I obviously do not want to create an account on such a [shady website](https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14178), so I tried using a throwaway email... rejected (of course). I then said "fuck it" and tried registering with my real email address... also rejected. "E-mail address is not valid". Well, it is, this is my primary e-mail address, has been for more than 10 years, and I've successfully used it to register on dozens of websites, including Amazon, eBay, various banks, Steam... I found several Reddit posts about this issues, dating back to several years to a few months. Apparently, registration on Nexus Mods has been broken for very long, with no fix on the horizon. So it seems it is impossible to download anything from there. Is there a mirror somewhere? Or are all these mods no longer possible to access?

This guy’s strawman arguments have already been destroyed by plenty of people who actually know what they’re talking about and don’t have an interest in keeping the current situation.
