    I was unaware of all of this. I'm on Linux so I don't use their launcher. I've seen sketchy EULAs that are game specific but not heard about DRM

    So the sales look better and the subscription services seem better value.

    Je crois c'est un arrangement temporaire avec GOG et Amazon. Je le disais juste parce que j'ai récupéré gratuitement d'anciens jeux video Civilization, et que beaucoup de gens utilisent Prime. Edit: you can tell I gave up on my remedial knowledge of French halfway through writing this comment and used a translate app lol

    What do you consider slow? I just installed Cyberpunk today and maxed out my internet connection at 50 MB/s Assuming you kept all your games installed, yes you could probably transfer them over to another system. But do you really keep all your games installed at all times? I know many people have more games in their library than their storage can handle.

    @Solumbran @JigglySackles there was a particularly heavy handed show off when visa and Mastercard were going after adult games on other platforms in a «but them before we're forced to delist them», but other than that I don't remember them being pushed particularly strongly

    The developer's website has a detailed FAQ section on that. In short, though Valve doesn't seem to have explained or told the developer what needs to be removed or censored, the developer thinks it's to do with an early pre-release scene where a man brought his teen daughter to the horse farm, where she sat on the shoulders of a naked woman representing one of the farmer's horses, who in the game are used and abused like their real-world equivalents. Though the developer has subsequently replaced the girl with a 20 year old and pixelated the nudity, Valve and Epic still didn't find the game acceptable.

    If you want to be a goody two-shoes, buy the game, download the .exe, and "lend" it to him - never play your GOG version while he’s playing, pretend it's a physical media you have only one copy, and just keep playing your Steam version. However, if you read their terms, it’s actually legal for you to keep two copies of the game - like one on the device you’re playing and another somewhere else as a backup. So you can legally lend your game and still keep a backup copy.
