Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”

  How do you use a Steam game after its license was revoked?

  By default Steam is a mere download manager without any DRM. You can zip the game folder and back it up anywhere. Whether or not publishers go through the additional steps to enable one or more DRM solution is a different matter. My favorite Steam games have no DRM at all.

  Same as GOG: piracy.

    You’re purposely ignoring the obvious differences between GOG and steam to fit what you believe. Have fun with that

      The differences are practical, not legal. He is right in the end

        Practical difference is all that matters in most instances. If a law cannot be enforced, it is irrelevant.
