    There’s a bundle that includes the first two games as well for like an extra buck I think. Buy them and then never play them and feel bad about it.

        • It’s DRM-free.
        • It’s (one of?) the only platforms that cares about preserving old games.

        If you prefer the Steam launcher (I do), you can always buy with GOG and launch with Steam.

          Do you have a source on how to do this? I keep seeing that you have to use Heroic Launcher or Lutis. I just want to buy games on GOG and then play them on my steam deck, but haven’t had time to figure out the best way to go about it

          Also, do GOG games only save to internal memory and not the SD card? I read that it one article, but don’t know if that’s still true.

          I’m still figuring out everything I can do with my steam deck, I just don’t have as much time as I used to, to REALLY tinker around with it

          I’m not a tech guru, but pretty familiar with linux and ok with using CLI (though I’ve never needed it on steam deck, just a point of reference for my comfortability)

            If you set your Steam Deck to desktop mode, the process is the same as on Windows.

            Click on “Games” in the top menu bar, then click “Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.”

        After the launch of cyberpunk I lost all respect for them and pirate from them now. They don’t deserve a dime.

        I understand that fixed it… If you also buy the DLC.

        I still think it’s unreasonable to let it slide

            It’s simple. It has really become common in the gaming industry to release a broken game then “fix” it later.

            Cyberpunk was worse than no man’s sky at launch. Hello games is a small team of people with deadlines set from Sony and a natural disaster going through their office plus multiple legal battles going. CD projekt red had no excuse. They’re a AAA studio that also published themselves. So there’s no excuse to release the game how they did.

            I disagree with the new norm of launching a broken game. I think it shouldn’t be common. If marvel released a movie and half the film had no CGI or editing then I wouldn’t watch or pay for that movie not many people would.

            So CD projekt red doesn’t deserve any money because it will just encourage them to release another broken mess then “fix” it later with a paid DLC.
