Vykroft Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Well today GoG is releasing its own Pc gaming service to compete with STEAM (just a few days after Valves paid mod initiative, clever move)So... what do you think about it, i'm downloading it right now to test it. http://www.gog.com/galaxy Edit: Apparently I forgot the link, I edit the post with the direction again. Sorry
Guest endgameaddiction Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I already have an account so I'll be testing it. edit I saw this coming. It's what competitors do to raise their image and squash their rivals.
Killing Joke Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Interface is nice (basically as the same as the website), but there's not much in it yet apart access to the store and your library. The most important feature I'm waiting for is games updates management and it's not implemented yet.
pinky6225 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 GOG = good ol game? I have a membership of their site but i dont visiting much as they seem more focused on current release than they do the older games
Vykroft Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 I saw this coming. It's what competitors do to raise their image and squash their rivals. Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for STEAM...
Guest endgameaddiction Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I saw this coming. It's what competitors do to raise their image and squash their rivals. Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for STEAM... I wasn't defending Steam my friend. I'm totally against them. I was stating that competitors will always find a weakness (like what happened with pay to mod incident) and find ways to steal their consumers/clients. Walmart did a fine example of that decades ago. Los competidores siempre encontrarán la debilidad de los rivales y robar a sus consumidores y clientes. Esto es lo que sucedió con Bethesda , Valve ( Steam ) y los consumidores. Los consumidores se preguntan si VALVE/STEAM esta a la altura de sus expectativas. Pero por supuesto, esto no ha sido la única vez . Y esto le da la oportunidad perfecta para una empresa como GOG un paso adelante y ofrecer el mismo servicio sin DRM , dinero de 30 días garantía de reembolso , etc ... si no, incluso mejor servicio en su plataforma. Estoy con GOG porque creo que los videojuegos deben estar libres de DRM. Y si GOG puede ofrecer la misma plataforma como el STEAM y sin problemas, es un servicio mucho mejor que traerá a más consumidores a GOG
Vykroft Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 But in this case they could not have chosen a better moment Si tienes razon con esto último, personalmente espero que más gente se pase a GoG, el ser DRM free es razón más que suficiente para el cambio
Guest endgameaddiction Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Yes, I agree. I'm looking forward to see where GOG goes with this. It's definitely a new ray of light upon us.
Veta Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Galaxy wasn't made just to compete with steam , it was made to satisfy the fans who were asking for it Seeing how it is purely optional ( compared to all other clients which are mandatory ) it's a smart move With a great privacy policy and many great features (some still on the way) Galaxy is like my dream come true .
Jexsam Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 GOG = good ol game? Guardians of Gaming Galaxy, obviously.
Vykroft Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 I have my serial key for the beta, finally, downloading right now
Guest endgameaddiction Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I got mine as well and just got the platform up and running.
Lexi SubZero Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Trying it as well...and like it a lot so far. Though compared to Steam or Battle.net app..it eats up quite a chunk of memory.. ..aaand my friend list is deserted there .. so if you guys want..add me..username: MrTrigun
Vykroft Posted May 9, 2015 Author Posted May 9, 2015 Apparently the friend list section is not completely implemented right now, you need to browse through forum and find someone you want to add, and if you have a new account (like me) there is no post, review or anything that could allow you to add me as a friend. Sadly, there is no "search friend" option for now, but well, is a beta after all..Don't worry I'll add you as soon is possible.
