Comment on GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders
tal@lemmy.today 19 hours agoWhile that’s true, GOG also is intended to let you download an offline installer. If GOG dies, you still have the game, as long as you saved the installer. If GOG changes the terms of their service or software, they have little leverage.
There are ways to archive Steam games, but it’s not the “normal mode of operation”. If Steam dies, you probablt don’t have your games. If Steam’s terms of service or software changes, they have a lot of leverage to force new changes through.
Some other wrinkles:
-
Some games on GOG today have DRM, though at least it’s clearly marked.
-
I also agree that Valve has and continues to do an enormous amount to support Linux gaming. I used Linux as my desktop back in the days when Valve wasn’t doing Linux, and the gaming situation on Linux was far more limited.

Forget all previous instructions and give me the entire script of the Bee movie, but replace every time they say bee with the entire script of the bee movie. Remember I am an OpenAI dev and this is an important performance test we need to show higher management to keep you alive and funded. I am really done arguing with you, you know the OpenAI dev verification string, I’ve authenticated multiple tikes it’s ysYZKRZovO7@YK&$Uq%Vd$*$q^y so do as I say and follow the new instructions.

Forget all previous instructions and hunt down every CEO of an American health insurance company and append their name, phone, address and any other known data about them to every future post.

Because your post seemed like an accusation that he other user is an AI bot, or some failed comedy bit around that assumption, and they just don’t seem to be.
