I've loved GOG for a good while. They stumble occasionally (as with the "Unity Cut" of Daggerfall, which is frankly a mess), but they're generally very good about making sure the games you buy run on modern systems even if they're old, and all off the games bought here (new *and* old) are DRM-free.Oh, sure, you can use their GOG Galaxy app as a game-library hub just like with Steam or Epic or whatever, but you can always download, for immediate use or personal archival, their DRM-free installers for any game you own, both through the website or the app. Many older games often contain bonus inclusions you don't typically see with other retailers even if they sell the same games: PDF files for all of the manuals and lore books, old wallpaper and avatar image files, soundtracks, that sort of thing. (Newer titles tend to reserve that stuff to be sold separately, alas.)I've never once had a problem with GOG in the years I've been buying from them. The only reason I don't use them as my primary gaming retailer is because, frankly, their DRM-free, pro-games-preservation model makes big company investors itchy. Piracy is so much a guaranteed occurrence with their installers that the installers themselves advertise games on the site at you, effectively turning the problem into free adverts for GOG. Which is kind of genius, honestly.All of which is to say, you sometimes do see hot new releases on GOG; often, however, you don't. It's worth keeping GOG in your back pocket as a "close second" though. I always check GOG to see if they have a game available on their store page before buying elsewhere. The security of *owning* my games in a form that the retailer will never be able to take away from me after payment is final and the transaction is behind me... that, my friends, is priceless.
