Accounts aren't transferable but GOG is willing to make it happen, with a little help from the legal system.

    And just like that, GOG rose to surpass Steam as the better place to buy video games.

      It was already better as the games it sells are free of Digital Restrictions Management

        Just call it malware. At least that’s an honest name.

        Funny how people like it when they actually provide value to you instead of only forcing an ad delivery/data collection tool on you, right?

      Correct me if I’m wrong: if you’re a linux gamer then GOG doesn’t support your platform, no?

        To my knowledge the client (gog galaxy) doesn’t work. But the binary installers the actual games you buy can still work.

        GOG enabled regional pricing several years ago.
