Have you considered that GOG games are by far the easiest to pirate? thonk

You don't need to feel too bad about it either considering they did a transphobic joke on their main Twitter account and The One Joke on the Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account.

Here's a question, can you add pirated games to GOG galaxy? And yes I've got a few of their releases pirated in the past and enjoyed them.

I've never used the GOG launcher but I know you can add games to Steam that are from folders on your computer.

That's what I was thinking with gog

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Honestly not sure, I gave up on GOG Galaxy several years ago because the interface is pretty terrible. Heroic Launcher is much better.

Heroic Launcher

Damn son that might be just what I'm looking for.

Not sure about Galaxy 2.0 but I'm pretty sure the old one would automatically include anything installed by a pirated GOG installer but it would give like a little popup that online stuff (achievements, cloud saves etc) are disabled

What did gog say? I searched for it but all I could find was something about them using #wontbeerased? If that's the one, then what's transphobic about that?

Also is gog part owned by CD project red? What happened with cyberpunk 2077?

Isn’t the credit financial system just grand and in no way a complete scourge on humanity?

Maybe you could try linking your gift card to a paypal account and then that paypal through GOG?

I'd try that out but I don't have a bank account so I'm pretty sure I can't make an account, I think? idk

(this genuinely just me not being able to envision life being lived in a different way than i am living, sorry for the unintended tone of the message)

How do you go through life without a bank account today? Do you have to meet people physically to exchange currency or do you send it through mail? What about all the other financial transactions, such as the payment of bills?

That and gift cards for online transactions

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Wait, why don't you have a bank account? (If it's not too personal)

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Does the card only work in the states? Could someone else buy the games with them and gift them to you?

Too much of a hassle tbh, I'm better off just pirating.

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

That sounds like the way to go. Pirate whatever you can that just works and use the giftcard for boring important stuff
