Gog.com are currently giving away Ghost of a Tale, which is a game I've had my eye on for a while. 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, so worth getting if you don't have it already - just go to the homepage and scroll down slightly and the link's there

@66ALW99 I do a great deal of business with GoG and have for years. I don't do business with Steam if I can avoid it and have well over 250 games in my GoG library. They have long been my go-to gaming site.

@XaoslordErie I mainly use Steam still, simply because I've got so much stuff on there, but I do have a soft spot for GOG - once I work through more of my Steam backlog, I'll likely shift over

@66ALW99 I get it, for sure. Many of my gaming friends are Steam-oriented, but now that GoG are releasing many games that were only available on Steam before (like Skyrim, for example), they are slowly beginning to switch over. Me, I dig the older games you can't find anywhere else, and when they did release Skyrim SE, I bought it, even though I already had the Steam version; I just don't like DRM. That said, I am not going to spring for the AE version of Skyrim, because it's too buggy.

@XaoslordErie Another thing for me is, I don't play so much these days, so I don't feel the need to buy things when they come out - I've got lots of stuff to play already, so by the time I'm ready to buy new, I'll probably find something that interests me on GOG

@66ALW99 I understand. When I purchase games - and this is especially true of the older ones - I tend to buy those with a robust modding community and plenty of mods, mappacks, etc. This gives me nearly infinite replay value for the games I own, and it helps keep expenses down, too. A lot of the older games I bought over at GoG were $3 - $5, and as newer releases came along, that jumped as high as $10, $20 in one instance. But again, I look for stuff I can get good mileage out of, lol

@XaoslordErie One of my best purchases was XCOM2, I must have gotten over 300 hours from that. The mods certainly helped with that!
