me: steam is terrible; it's just drm with a nice bow on top
steam: steam visual novel fest starts now
me: i love steam stuffs more items on my wishlist
(for real tho itch.io and gog are much better use them - and download the actual offline installers from gog don't use galaxy)
@cupcakezealot wasn't Itch also American?
@Blaze
yeah it wasn't necessarily an alternative; i was just saying they're better because they tend to support indie devs and/or are more drm free than steam. i didn't know of a purely non american one that i use :(
Apparently GOG is Polish. DRM free, too; the one time I used it it literally just gave me the raw game files, like back in the day.
i didn't know they were polish but yup! for most games you can go into your account and download all the manuals and exes/pkgs for any game you own!
