GDT, HumbleBundle, and GOG

I see you there on the HumbleBundle site GDT all discounted atleast for now.

It is good to see GDT on that site but is GDT ever gonna be on the GOG site too?Seeing how the games on there are DRM free and it is the same company that is making The Witcher 3 so they should have a huge increase of people on it when they release it that would not be bad for sales while getting rid of tons of the I lost my email topics from people that want the DRM free version.

Btw how many of you actually know about or use the GOG site I see a lot about the steam one but almost nothing about it on the forums?

I use GOG all the time, but that’s because GOG specializes in Good Old Games, and I don’t own a computer that isn’t ancient.

That is a good reason do some of the newer indie games work out for you though they seem to have a good number of them?

Some of them. It all depends on the complexity of the game. Small-scale indie games like the Avernum series run perfectly. The bigger ones have some pretty intimidating system requirements, I haven’t bought them because I don’t think they’ll work. GOG’s listed requirements aren’t always accurate, so I google them too.

I know about GOG but never bought a game from them. I think I just like having the game on Steam better.

The GOG games to me seem to work just like the Steam ones but with lot less problems.

You get a library of your games each are usually in one nice neat exe file that you can download as much as you need to they aren’t installed by a launcher like Steam just the exe.

They let you choose if you update too it isn’t forced like on Steam.

They also seem to encourage people to backup the games if they want to and being DRM free no internet is needed for them.

I don’t see any negatives to the way it works that is why I was wonder if GDT could be put on it.

Edit: They do have a lot less games than Steam but the ones you get work better.

@LineLiar I think they give you some free older games if you have an account with them if you wanted to try it.

@Akamadoushi sorry I’m late with a reply but Gamespot had an article about how they had built two computers for around $500 each that ran games better than the PS4 or XBone.

I’m not saying to go for that but if you have a tower case you could reuse that and maybe the power supply and other parts depending on what you have to upgrade a little for cheap it needs some research if you do it.

Still a lot of good games you can play on your current setup though but figured I would mention if you wanted to look the article up.

@vgs I bought an old (2003) laptop specifically for playing old games. Namely, Bestseller and the Exile trilogy, but I’ve purchased a few more since. Fable has minimum requirements above my computer’s performance, but it actually runs smoothly. Only the terrain doesn’t render, so all ground is gray and all water is yellow. I think that’s about the upper limit of what it can handle, and I’m not keen on spending money on games with very high requirements (compared to what I have).

@Akamadoushi That is a pretty good idea gog games really work out well for something like that.

I used to played Vampire the Masquerade Redemption like that a long time ago but it was even worse because it did it to the NPC too if I was outside so was like come here blue blob my Vampire character wants to eat you.It was a good game though when I finally had a pc that could run it.
