![]() ![]() PC Gamer notes that GOG has it setup where it will check your Steam library and if a game has been refunded, then it will be be removed from your GOG catalog as well, unless you purchased it directly from GOG. Of course, there is a security measure in place for some people who would attempt to abuse the system. Those kind of measures have helped a lot of games get crowd-funded through Kickstarter and IndieGoGo. In fact, some of the Kickstarter bonuses is being able to pledge to the project while being entitled to a DRM-free copy of the game. Nevertheless, a lot of companies that have either been revitalized or got their start through crowd-funding on Kickstarter have put their games on GOG with DRM-free options. Of course, GOG's lack of DRM has made some developers and publishers wary of allowing their games on the service, hence its smaller catalog of titles that are made available. ![]() GOG's DRM-free service completely removes that headache. Steam, unfortunately, still has many gamers that utilize these DRM service that can sometimes backfire on users, debilitating them from accessing the games they paid for. While companies will use the excuse that DRM helps protect the property from piracy, the other issue is that it also prohibits some legitimate consumers from using the products they paid for. ![]() Some DRM can literally break a game, like in the case of Dark Void, Order of War or Darkspore, all of which were crippled by the DRM, making them unplayable for users.
