Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase

But also with GOG you can download the installers and play offline. It’s literally one of their big selling points. It’s less convenient than things like steam, but you can do whatever the hell you want when you buy it.

Depends on the game, they still sell DRM games which are limited in being able to be downloaded freely

  DRM is added by the developers/publishers not by GOG, tho.

    Same thing applies to Steam. You don’t need to use the Steam DRM if you don’t want to, it gets added by the developers/publishers

    No thats not true. You need to have steam installed and be logged into an account to play a steam game, always.

Mmm, not quite.

And I point that out because Lemmy is a very FOSS-friendly place where that sentiment is actually true.
