Which neatly sums up why I do not and will not even have a Steam account, but buy many games from GOG.

You realise GOG sells DRM games right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Like...?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I believe Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has DRM and is still sold on GOG.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, let's see...

No mention of DRM in the reviews or anywhere in the forum...

No mention of DRM anywhere...

You're right I was misremembering the reviews complaining about the UELA instead

Love gog but fuck them for spamming my email. I found out to claim the new games it'll auto subscribe you to the news letter. So I stopped claiming the games. But still I get emails for promotions and crap. More annoying then freaking scam callers. I've unsubscribed every time I get one and stopped claiming free games. I'm so close to just cut my loses and delete my account but I feel like that still won't stop those parasites

You should not be getting promotional emails if you opt out, so something is wrong with your account/settings specifically. Contact them or filter your emails.

That's what I figured... Some bug on their end or something because every time I get one I unsubscribe. I plan to just delete my account and go back to a mix of pirating and steam

How weird, I wonder if there's something wrong with my GOG account? I don't think I've received an email from them in years?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

No, if you claim the giveaways you have to subscribe to their newsletter. That's all. If you aren't doing that, you'll almost never get an email.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Ye that's why I stopped claiming games

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I see, that makes sense. Thanks!
