Hey, so for some time now i had this problem… I have been buying games from both gog and steam… No drm option is good on gog but there are some festures missing from what steam has, for example being able to buy games from trading cards… What should i do? Focuse on buying games from gog and if there isnt a game then buy it on steam? Or maybe just buy games on steam?
No you don’t. Their ToS are very explicit about this. You’re buying licenses, just like on Steam.
This is a bit complex because of the way people define own.
Technically no one but the company who developed the games own the game.
Publishers effectively own it as they usually monopolize the entire licensing control of the game.
Gamers never own but merely have the license to play. This is true even with games from long time ago. While you do own the physical disk, you only license the data inside the disk.
Some people may define ownership of a game by the fact that no one is going to take it away from you. In that way, gog does do that. Since you can download a DRM free version you can install as many times as you want for as along as you want.
If you read the TOS for the vast majority of games you will read that you have also purchased a licence, not ownership, of the game.
