Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

if I could even download gog galaxy. there's no download link on their webpage and neither anything on the web. But pretty cool of them

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The link is in the webpage, but it might be bugged? It's not visible in vanilla chrome or firefox for me (or maybe just not visible on linux).

https://webinstallers.gog-statics.com/download/GOG_Galaxy_2.0.exe

That's from the page's source.

I can’t even log in, because their 2FA system is overwhelmed. I’ve been waiting almost four hours for an email code to hit my inbox.

Whether you fellows like the games or not is not the point, the point is to get the games on principle alobe (ie; Oppose censorship)

Fuck Google and its fcking recaptcha with its fcking traffic lights, fcking crosswalks, fcking hydrants, fcking bicycles and fcking CARS! FCK!

This is the rare case where at no point was a clear coherent statement ever made, and yet everybody knew exactly what your frustrated ranting mumbles meant.

Strange. I redeemed the code, it shows in my purchase history, but none of the games show up in my collection. Oh well.

I was really surprised when I saw this

[–] x0x7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'm for this because I want those games. But let's talk strategy. Didn't GoG just set the market value of those games to zero? Weren't they already hurt by the censorship? Wouldn't it be better to just give them a fair market to sell on?
