Maybe neat from a technology perspective, but one of the reasons I buy from GOG is to play my games without surveillance. Making Amazon a middle man would be antithetical to that.
I want Amazon as far as possible from my gaming.
No one in the comments seems to consider that this could very well be an additional revenue stream that GOG desperately needs.
Pretty much everyone do but most of the target audience for gog simply hate Amazon and want nothing to do with it.
Then just pretend it doesn’t exist. I don’t understand how this affects the GOG userbase. All that happens is people speculate about how GOG is out to kill DRM-freedom.
But I don’t? I don’t even use gog. I am simply giving you an answer to why the comments are negative about it. And no, no one is speculating the end of DRM, just sharing their opinion on the topic just like you and me. I think its a waste of resource and incorrect priorities personally but that’s just my uneducated opinion.
No
buying games on GOG (directly on our service or via Luna) will give you the best of both worlds – enjoying them on Luna’s cloud gaming service, as well as via offline installers or GOG GALAXY.
This sounds pretty good but not really something I would use GOG for unless it is included in Amazon Prime.
It looks to be included. Sadly only supported in a handful fo countries yet.
It’s so easy to forget Luna exists. I feel like 1) it’s just not advertised anywhere, and 2) that nobody talks about it.
Do people even use it? I can’t imagine it’s going to last all that long if even Google can’t make it work.
Not cool GOG, not cool.
Luna you’ll be able to play every game that you already own on GOG (and that is also available on Luna). There’s absolutely no requirement to purchase anything twice
In other words, buying games on GOG will give you the best of both worlds – enjoying them on Luna’s cloud gaming service, as well as via offline installers or GOG GALAXY. All your DRM-free benefits of owning games on GOG will still be there, you’ll just have more ways to play your favorite titles.
It’s the best way they could have done it, just an extra way to play with no lock-in. I fail to see the issue with this.
I’d rather them not have done it than.
I do not want GOG involved with Amazon, it does not bode well.
What are you talking about? GOG has been involved with Amazon for a long time now, and so far it has been exclusively beneficial for GOG users.
Whats wrong? Don’t say GOG will suddenly go streaming only.
