      Linux compatibility is fine. You can pretty easily install gog games by logging into your gof account on lutris. It'll let you see your whole library and install directly from it, and any games that work in proton will work just fine using proton via lutris. You can also just add your gog game as a non-steam game and run it there.

          Downloading it was actually no problem, paying was.

            do you play every game in easy mode? No judging you, just curious. I do not play every game in hardest difficulty, but I do play above normal difficulty

            Yes. I don't deal with frustration all that well. I want to experience the world and story, more than trying to master the gameplay.

              If you ever feel like giving it (or any other soulslike) another shot, I'd recommend putting less pressure on "beating" it or how much you're "failing". The joy of these games is the process, not (exclusively) the result - learning the sequences, the rhythms. That's what these games are all about. If you're just rushing to beat everything as fast as possible, you're missing out.

              I tried playing Hollow Knight. But I couldn't even beat Mother Gruz, despite trying more than a few times. I gave up in the end. I understand that the problem lies with me. But, I really wanted to experience the world. What is the point of process, if it inevitably leads to frustration?

                You can select to run them in proton, rather than just normal wine, in lutris. I've been doing it to run games from gog for years with few issues, namely games that are old and have the same problems working on windows as well. So... Yes they will?

                      Technicallly, they only need 177(countries w/internet) 3(triangulation) × (≈531) superseeders to kickstart the main files, and deliver decryption keys between the 3 triangulators.

                        Technically developing a game is the process of iterating slowly over time into a cohesive product. Making a game is the the construction of already known pieces. Think the difference between a cookie cutter Ubisoft game where everyone knows it can be done given enough time and roughly what the final product will look like and hollow Knight a learn as we go who knows if it will be finished discover the ability to create on the fly. Long story short: Developing sounds more artsy. Of course cookie cutter companies know that and use it for there own purpose so I guess there's no difference.

                          This is the reason why pre-purchases are a thing. The whole thing could have been less severe if the game was available for purchase with preloading some days earlier.

                              Pros of GOG: ability to download an installer Cons of GOG: no features, very few games Pros of Steam: everything Cons of Steam: making backups of your games is marginally harder than on GOG I wonder why more people don't fall for the GOG meme. Truly a mystery.

                              How do you back up a game with DRM if said DRM stops working though? GOG guarantees this will not be an issue. Hell, there even are/were Securom games on Steam. You won't be activating those anymore.

                                > it is sad to see that people don't buy enough from GOG for them to crash. 1. [Several people reported problems with GOG](https://downdetector.com/status/gog-com/), it's just not listed in OP for some reason. 2. Every platform scales their servers to their userbase so even if GOG had a dozen users they could still crash the servers.

I mean if they had a dozen users, it'd likely be because they're just starting out, in which case they'd likely anticipate growth and have enough resources for a few thousand users. Nobody wants to botch the launch of a new platform.

                                  Game development as a term usually includes all the technical and creative work that goes into it, not just the actual writing code part.

                                    Honestly I understand. People watch movies too, and that's very easy mode. But yeah, you'll probably want to stay away from anything labeled "soulslike" then. I haven't played Hollow Knight, but these games are typically about perfecting your skill and tactics by dying repeatedly

                                        The secret ingredient is crime. Games with DRM aren't on GOG, but games without DRM are on Steam.

                                          If you wanted to be tagged as a steam fanboy just say so 😅 The only feature GOG doesn't have that Steam has is the workshop, but they have all the rest like savegame cloud sync etc.

                                          I'm not a Steam fanboy, I'm just sick of GOG being praised as the saviour of gaming in every video game thread on Lemmy.
