I know they said the mod is too big for nexus, but why did they choose only gog for the release? Steam has great support for mods in their store. Enderal released on steam just fine.
Now when you install fallout London it uses your fallout 4 install, so you can't switch between games. If your f4 is on steam you have to downgrade it and disable steam cloud.
If they released on steam they could have just make it that people can install the mod only if they own f4. Then they could have just include all files needed in their own install, and wouldnt have to use your f4 game. No downgrading, working cloud saves, both games playable.
If they didnt want to pay 100 bucks for steam page, they could have just ask me, I would pay for it.
I think they said GoG provided technical support or something, right? I imagine there was a clause in whatever they did heavily encouraging releasing it on GoG. In any case, for me at least I much rather prefer it being on GoG than steam just for DRMs sake. I've transitioned to always buying on GoG first, rather than steam.
When the Gog Deck or Gog VR headset comes out I might do that too.
What take even is that? I can understand some complaints about Linux support for how much people praise the deck, but why would they make their own handheld... And VR headset? I feel like hardware shouldn't be locked to specific platforms, and I would rather blame Valve for not releasing steam-independent software for their headset.
I support Valve for creating these things which I value and appreciate. Which keeps me buying on Steam instead of Gog first as GP is endorsing. If Gog makes a handheld or any other type of hardware that helps push the industry forward, I will definitely reconsider.
I generally agree, but I'm not gonna continue buying on steam just because they're developing new tech - I happily buy games on steam because of the features steam provides.
That said, DRM-free games is something steam does not and probably will not provide - it's a niche GOG is comfortable with, so many people who value freedom on software will choose it as their first platform of choice.
In that sense, the hardware is completely unrelated - it does nothing towards the goal of DRM-free games, and in case of the index, locks more games behind a platform.
Heroic Launcher handles GOG on Deck and any other variant of Linux. It will even drop shortcuts into Steam. Worth a look if you're so inclined.
