For a fact, GoG sells downloads; I think Steam sells > streaming game play. Yes, Gog sells downloads and I thought that Steam did the same, but I don't think it is the same. I downloaded todays special on Steam for $12.50 for Broken sword 5. I thought the $12.50 was only for part One on Steam and I would go back to get part 2. I've never downloaded anything from Steam before but have downloaded games from Gog.I like Gog's website better than Steam. Its easier to navigate but maybe because I am not used to Steam. I didn't see anything on Steam about redirecting Steam to Gog for purchasing or I would have gone to Gog as I am more used to it there, but I may have missed that information on Steam. > Since I like "owning" the game, I usually get it from GoG - but I do > have a few on Steam. Just a roll of the dice, I guess. Surely > somebody here will clear this up. I much prefer "owning" the game like on Gog.com where all or most of the games are DRM and you can burn the game to a CD so you can keep it to replay and you don't have to connect to Gog website to play the game, but I think you do have to connect to Steam website to play BS5 or any game. But I have downloaded the game now from Steam. It took me a long time as I only have Lite high speed. Oh well, its downloaded now :>) Mary > Opsimath > > On Sat, 5 Apr 2014 16:46:37 -0500, "Mary" <notvalid@notin.com> wrote: > >>"rms" <rsquiresMOO@MOOflashMOO.net> wrote in message >>news:lhp256$6cq$1@dont-email.me... >>> The other games are on sale also: >>> http://store.steampowered.com/app/262940/ >> >>Is that $12.50 price on Steam today for episode 1 and 2, or just episode >>1? >>Does Steam have DRM for games same as Gog so you can download games and >>make copies of the game for your own use? thanks. >> >>Mary >> >> >>--- >>This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
