Which neatly sums up why I do not and will not even have a Steam account, but buy many games from GOG.
You realise GOG sells DRM games right?
Like...?
I believe Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has DRM and is still sold on GOG.
Okay, let's see...
No mention of DRM in the reviews or anywhere in the forum...
No mention of DRM anywhere...
You're right I was misremembering the reviews complaining about the UELA instead
Love gog but fuck them for spamming my email. I found out to claim the new games it'll auto subscribe you to the news letter. So I stopped claiming the games. But still I get emails for promotions and crap. More annoying then freaking scam callers. I've unsubscribed every time I get one and stopped claiming free games. I'm so close to just cut my loses and delete my account but I feel like that still won't stop those parasites
How weird, I wonder if there's something wrong with my GOG account? I don't think I've received an email from them in years?
No, if you claim the giveaways you have to subscribe to their newsletter. That's all. If you aren't doing that, you'll almost never get an email.
Ye that's why I stopped claiming games
I see, that makes sense. Thanks!
You should not be getting promotional emails if you opt out, so something is wrong with your account/settings specifically. Contact them or filter your emails.
That's what I figured... Some bug on their end or something because every time I get one I unsubscribe. I plan to just delete my account and go back to a mix of pirating and steam
