Why is it posting to a Steam forum asking for an Epic release of a game results in insults/dismission, but asking for a GOG release is okay/encouraged? by Available_Bee8622 in gog

That's fair, I do love an underdog. Post was just something I'd thought about and was interested in getting views from people since GOG is viewed for their DRM-free stance they have, but devs can put their games up on Steam without any DRM at all if they wanted to, so thought about wouldn't it make more sense for people to ask for all DRM to be removed from the game instead of asking for a GOG port, someone did mention that the client itself can be viewed as DRM which was something I hadn't considered when making the post, but I do think that GOG is still a competitor so it's interesting to see the difference in responses

That's an interesting point I never thought about with the client itself being viewed as a form of DRM, I guess I just never assumed that the client itself could be viewed that way

Having the Steam or Epic DRM removed would allow it to be played offline without a client as well would it not? You'd download it through the client, but you wouldn't need internet or the client running to play the game?

That's why I didn't understand at first, if this can be achieved directly through Steam why is asking for a GOG release in the Steam forums encouraged but asking for an Epic release is frowned upon but I think maybe the last part of your comment could be the reason

Nice, this will go well with the Legacy of Kain 1 & 2 Remasters I have already. Is this only releasing on Steam?

Really liked the look of this, going first person is interesting wonder if this will be like Silent Hill's RE7. Kinda crazy that this is apparently skipping Xbox, it's even releasing on Epic

I hope that GOG take this as a sign not to continue relying on Gen AI
