I'd rather wait 48 hours for a patch than not actually own the games I buy. Mothwentbad: All that 'offline mode' means is that if you take your laptop on vacation, then you *might* need to get an internet connection to play single-player games rather than that you'll definitely need one running the whole time. Speaking of support, that patch, yeah, any time now. GoG has so many merits of its own, hardly any need to make the competition look artificially worse when GoG can get the sale just because they're earnest and doing the right thing and offer great support and you OWN your games. GoG is my favorite service, and I like giving them money when the option is there, but there's no need to be unfair to other services in the process. You do have to have an original link to the server to start offline mode, but once set, it's good for a long time before you need to check in (Steam, that is - Origin needs to check in every restart, and Uplay has been neutered to the point that it can default to 'start in offline mode' and doesn't cause any trouble that way ever).

Three services that get maligned for a requirement that they don't actually have. Its offline mode is robust and functional. Re: Steam requiring always online, that's really not true anymore. there are a LOT of bug fixes in that patch, heh. I <3 GoG, just want them to update this so I can make with the adventuring. But I have always enjoyed the relative, almost conspiratorial intimacy that GoG presents, of being 'all in it together' against publishers' conventional wisdom that DRM is a must in these days of easy piracy, blah blah blah blah. Steam is a great service too and covers a different niche. I've got a few hundred games on Steam and a smaller collection here, but I feel these have more value - I feel like I own them. I bought this on GoG even though it was watching the videos on Steam that 'sold it' to me, but at this exact, very moment I kinda wish I'd gone ahead and bought it on Steam so I could have it all patched up.īut then again, the patch hasn't been live for /that/ long, so we're not talking unruly delays here, just a bit of inconvenience. I've always been a huge fan of GOG and CDP in general, but it is somewhat disappointing that it takes them a bit to roll out updates, especially considering the much smaller game library than something like Steam.
