Like steam? Maybe you'll like this.

It's not exactly like steam but.......think of all the classic games that no longer work right because your system is too powerful and too new. And what about those nasty DRM's and other snooping software. I sure hope this will become big in our gaming world.

No DRM's! Excellent

i was actually looking at that site recently because of all the BS with Spore, and a ton of other new games.

Just for the sake of what this thread is talking about i'd like to throw in Stardock's recent Gamer's Bill of rights.

The Gamer's Bill of Rights are as follows:

1. Gamers shall have the right to return games that don't work with their computers for a full refund. 2. Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state. 3. Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game's release. 4. Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game. 5. Gamers shall have the right to expect that the minimum requirements for a game will mean that the game will play adequately on that computer. 6. Gamers shall have the right to expect that games won't install hidden drivers or other potentially harmful software without their consent. 7. Gamers shall have the right to re-download the latest versions of the games they own at any time. 8. Gamers shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or publishers. 9. Gamers shall have the right to demand that a single-player game not force them to be connected to the Internet every time they wish to play. 10. Gamers shall have the right that games which are installed to the hard drive shall not require a CD/DVD to remain in the drive to play.

I prefer legally buying my games, especially if they are good. But it really sucks when i have to pirate older games because there is no other way to get them. So GOG, ought to be great.
