And thus if you have no moral problem playing games you own with cracks, which honestly why would you, every PC game ever made is DRM free.

La-di-da.

Not only this. Actually GOG.com has no advantage at all over other services like Steam since cracking is the legitimate [(c) Dolantin] way of using software.

BLASPHEMY!

Blasphemer, everyone!
Let's burn him.

Is this really appropriate to discuss on the site of a site that sells games?
In some parts of the world that's illegal. And even without the legality, it's really not a great thing to be supporting Steam. Seeing as they're pretty much the biggest pusher of DRMed files out there right now.

OTOH, I have no problem with people doing that to recover their collection of games that Valve inexplicably takes from time to time.

This is why I write off GOG purchases on my taxes as a charitable donation. When I give GOG money, everybody wins. It makes me feel like a good person.

Yup.

I don't see anything wrong with masturbating on FOSE, about how it removes GfWL for Fallout 3. ;)

It is the same thing.

Yet strangely not immoral what-so-ever. Funny how often that happens.

I agree, if you've paid for your copy you should have the legal right to crack it if you need to. And really you shouldn't even need to crack it.

But regardless, I don't think it's a good practice to support Valve, well, at least until they start acting with some modicum of integrity.

The only Steam stuff I get now are exclusives. That might change if I go all digital again though.

There actually are two indie bundles on sale right now , both of them DRM free from what I heard (I bought the second and got archived installers I can burn on a DVD and play wherever I want to). The offer is still valid for the next 4 days or so. Check out this thread and see if they hold anything of interest to you.

Also, what asb said. The indie adventures from WadjetEye Games (e.g. "Gemini Rue"), Size Five Games (former Zombie Cow Studios, e.g. "Time Gentlemen Please!") or Amanita Design (e.g. "Samorost 2", "Machinarium") or the "Penumbra" series and "Amnesia - The Dark Descent" from Frictional Games for example should all be DRM-free if you get them from the developer's websites. Btw, do we have a list of good indiegames with links to the respective websites anywhere?

Last but not least, most freeware games are DRM free of course - and also free to download. ;)
If that interests you, check out the free games list.

Even some boxed sold physical available games are DRM free - at least with the latest patch. They are not the newest though. Like Sims 3, Civ 4, Mass Effect 1. It's relatively difficult to find out, because nobody bothers to describe the correct implementation of DRM thoroughly. There might be many, many more games, that are sold in a box, without any DRM. And buying boxed copies gives you legally even more sense of ownership that life-long renting a digital copy. I just say - resellability.
