Due to it having DRM on Steam (which isnвЂ™t a mandatory Steam requirement) and due to Steam not letting you turn off auto-updates for games (entirely SteamвЂ™s fault, it used to let you turn this off), I have to keep 2 copies of the entire game directory separate from the actual game installation, so 3 total: one single player backup (heavily modded), one multiplayer backup (only the community multiplayer patch), and I have to constantly overwrite the game installation folder with one of these depending on whether or not I want to play single player or multiplayer. No DRM would be very helpful for Tom ClancyвЂ™s Rainbow Six 3: Gold which isnвЂ™t on GOG so I own it on Steam. I hate long loading times and the #4 reason above will literally make or break my experience. So itвЂ™s really easy to see how detrimental DRM often is. This is how I was able to compare OpenMW for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind side by side with regular Morrowind with MGE XE.

Call of Pripyat I have on my PC right now, and I take advantage of this for other games as well. IвЂ™ve lost count how many different installations of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

One of my favorite things about not having DRM is that I can easily have multiple installations of a game on the same computer, which is great for using multiple total conversion mods in a lot of games.You donвЂ™t have to worry about DRM getting in the way of some mods, especially mods that involve altering DLL and executable files.The results are consistent and the testing methodology is sound: Denuvo often significantly reduces performance, primarily with loading times. More benchmarks can be found here and here. Significant frame rate differences were observed in other games as well, as the video shows. Loading times are the main thing Denuvo slows down, but also frame times for which the maximums in Dishonored 2 were reduced by over 81% when Denuvo was stripped out. Watch these benchmarks, which show that Denuvo slowed down Dishonored 2 loading times by up to over 58%! Or these benchmarks which show even greater improvement in newer games. Yes, DRM often has significant impact here. It ensures the launch of the game and loading times arenвЂ™t unnecessarily slowed down.On GOG I can just launch a game without ever launching GOG Galaxy 2.0.

It ensures games are not tied to launchers or other software having to launch Steam or any other launcher, which takes some time, just to then be able to launch your game is bad enough, but then for many AAA games (Ubisoft if you buy on Steam, EA if you buy on Steam, Rockstar games if you buy on Steam for example) you have to deal with many launchers layered on top of each other! Launching Steam to launch a game, which first launches or Origin or uPlay and then launches the game, it is asinine, it is utterly anti-consumer.

There are many practical benefits to having no DRM. This reason was obvious, but itвЂ™s not arbitrary like gamers tend to believe. Not only do we prefer to use GOG, and not due to any nonsensical brand loyalty (I donвЂ™t enjoy The Witcher games and I have very low expectations for Cyberpunk 2077), but I personally dislike every other popular digital game platform for various technical reasons (beyond the Steam client being almost unusably buggy ever since its inception in 2004) which we will go over below. Many of these opinions from both sides are misinformed, and they often overlook technical limitations with all of these platforms.

Steam has an army of fanboys who go around the internet preaching about how they will only buy games on Steam and nowhere else, while detractors complain about their profit margin.

In the present day, Steam and Epic Games Store battle it out on the forefront, with people liking the free games offered by Epic Games Store, and detractors disliking the lack of a shopping cart on their store, the lack of user reviews, not trusting the telemetry since Epic Games is mostly owned by a Chinese corporation, and other issues. It is known as the DRM-free platform, but it is a lot more than that. GOG, which stood for Good Old Games, is a digital game platform owned by CD Projekt.
