gog became an extremely unpleasant place to spend your time and to buy games.The main reasons why you should buy games and other media content elsewhere:* many games that were published in the gog and the Steam store on the same day do not have the same number of features. For example, a game in the Steam store has the next features: Achievements, Cloud Saves, Controller Support, Multiplayer, and Co-op the same game in the gog store has only Cloud Saves and Controller support which is a real situation not for a couple of games but for hundreds of games, and no that is not an over-exaggeration;* gog Galaxy (ver_2.xx) is the problematic software. All that is because instead of adding new features and making optimizations after that gog software department decided to add a lot of features (sometimes even unnecessary) but forgot that there is a thing like optimization. gog Galaxy even in an idle state takes about 5% of CPU resources. Compared to the Steam launcher - it takes about 3% of CPU resources while sending saves to the Cloud. At the same time the previous version of the Galaxy ver_1,2,67,58 - is lightweight, user-friendly, and has all the necessary features for 90% of gamers. One big problem - it is outdated, so it is much easier to crack, and because of that it is not as secure as it was 5-7 years ago;* next problem with gog Galaxy ver_2.xx - it is not reliable. Sometimes it works OK, but sometimes it does not work at all. While playing games (with Achievements, Overlay support, and Cloud) you can find out that Galaxy launcher does not register anything described. You may think that all works great but when you decide to log out of the game you could find out that none of your progress was saved. And NO, that is not because of PC configuration/settings, the Internet, or the game itself;* the only thing why I gave gog 1 star out of 5 is the DRM-free policy for the games. But as always with gog there is a "but". Not all games are completely free of DRM, tracking scripts, or bloatware. Some publishers decide not to delete their special software (like data collecting and so-called "crush dump" software) from the games that are in the gog store, so there is no way to say that you have games completely free of DRM ;* small number of games that come with multiplayer support from the box. gog does not have even a 1/3 of multiplayer games that are available in other game stores (Steam, EGS), besides that, gog community members also dislike playing games in coop/multiplayer mode. If you like to play multiplayer games much more than singleplayer games, gog definitely is not your choice;* gog personnel (all or partially) are biased to russian users. Whatever russians will do to other gamers (hate speech messages, or messages with violent content, etc.), especially to Ukrainian gamers, they will not be punished for that. That made me think that there are 2 variants of why gog does so: gog personnel contains a lot of russians/pro-russian employees and/or high management of the company is preparing to renew russian users in the store so those russian creatures/scum will be able to buy games in the store again.All described above are the objective reasons why gog store is not the best place to buy media content. I also have my own subjective reasons why I stopped buying games in the store, like design and style change of the web version of the store, the unreasonableness of prices in comparison to other game stores, and some other, but the main problems with the store I described above. Now it is all up to you to decide if the gog store is a good place or not to invest your own money.P.S. I also have had some propositions on how to make the gog store more enjoyable for gamers/users and send those propositions to the gog company. Still, they were completely ignored, so I understood that the gog company spits on their customers = investors.
