The Rise of DRM-Free Gaming: Why GOG is Winning

You Don't Own Your Steam Games

It is a harsh truth: on most platforms, you are buying a revocable license, not the game itself. If Steam shuts down, or if you are banned, your library could vanish.

The GOG Difference

GOG (Good Old Games) operates on a DRM-Free policy:

• Offline Installers: You can download a standalone installer for every game you buy. Save it to a hard drive, and it is yours forever. No internet required to install or play.
• No Client Needed: You don't need GOG Galaxy to play.
• Preservation: GOG works hard to make old games run on modern Windows/Linux.

Why It Matters Now

With recent controversies around Ubisoft deleting inactive accounts and digital purchases being delisted (e.g., Spec Ops: The Line), gamers are waking up to the value of ownership. LootOps now fully supports GOG price tracking to help you build a library you truly own.
