Stores like GOG and Humble are giving people a chance to buy DRM-free games more than ever. Does their increasing inventory mean a future with fewer anti-piracy measures?
CGMagazine talks to the Managing Director of GOG, Urszula Jach-Jaki to dive into all things DRM and how GOG offers a much different experience.
GOG is great but I just wish they added more current games apart from CDPR's releases.
Few publishers are willing to allow DRM free copies of their games for sale I imagine.
I wish GOG had been much stronger competition for Steam, I like their lack of DRM and collection of old games, and that they don't have the BS rejection system that Steam has for games like VNs and anime games. But Steam has more/newer games and a better interface/features that are hard to compete with.
Without internet, one GameByte writer struggled to find any decent video games to play - until he discovered DRM-free gaming.

GOG is the best gaming platform that exist. I have 1.4tb of legally owned games installation files on a usb drive and when I want to play a game, I only need to install it. If the internet fail one day I will have a big collection of classic pc games ready to play forever.
A good option. Also a good option is launching Steam with a quick connection from your phone's hotspot function and setting Steam to offline mode.
People who bought Tron: Evolution on Steam have been locked out of their purchases unless highly specific conditions were met. This mess is courtesy of SecuROM and expired licenses but pirates were unaffected almost entirely.
Ummm just torrent the game it's still up on all the sites. Why get all upset LOL. I will never be locked out, torrent FTW it's all mine.
"As a result of legitimate buyers not being able to access what they paid for, some suggested usage of certain sites associated with flags that feature skull and crossbones."
Love what the site is suggesting, considering the pos DRM screwing over paying customers.
