  • That name rang a bell, I was not really sure why. I just went to my bookshelf, and one of my oldest books I actually started to collect was the novelization of the movie Total Recall (the Schwarzenegger one), written by - Piers Anthony!

    I had no idea that he was pretty famous, I loved that book, but never cared about the author, time to change that! Xanth series, you say? I will definitely check that out. Thanks!

    I know what you mean, but you still don’t own the game, you have permission to play it, at least as long as the platform lets you or it closes. For now it’s all good, but when the time comes people will loose accounts worth thousands of bucks.

    You want to really own your game, not just a license, buy on gog. Not on Steam, not on Epic, not on uplay and whatever else.

    Why is everyone so pissed at Ubisoft, they just say what’s practise for years now! And sometimes counter Ubisoft by quoting Gabe Newell, what the fuck? He made not owning games popular!


  • This is exactly what I’m doing. Games still look great, they run great, and chances are there are a bunch of quality of life mod improvements.

    Days gone released on gog not long ago, the first thing I got was the mod for silencers, what a bullshit idea to only use it for five shots and then it’s gone.

    And I forgot: I never buy a GaaS! They will shut down The Crew soon, a game I play on a regular basis and one of the most relaxing titles ever made. I don’t care how great a game might be, you won’t get any money out of me ever again dear companies.
