        This refers to downloading, after you donwload the DRM Free Game from Gog there is no license or online check forever, the game is just yours.

          You can also do that on Steam, that doesn’t make it any less piracy.

          Not that there is anything wrong with that, but let’s stop pretending that GOG is somehow better than Steam.

            Nobody is saying you cannot do on Steam, the big difference is that you can do that on 100% of Gog games, on Steam only on a very small percentage.

            And there are other noticeable difference, on Steam you have to go through the file and backup them, on Gog you get the drm free installer for the last version of the game and any previous version that you want.

            Is clear to me that on this regard Gog is much better than Steam, would be crazy to say otherwise.
