Remember to keep an eye out over the duration of GOG's Winter Sale to claim GOG copies of games you already own via GOG Connect!

A friendly heads up that if you're after stranger games than the usual affair here on Steam or GOG, the Itch Winter Sale began yesterday![itch.io]

Some highlights include:
Neon Struct![minorkeygames.itch.io] A cyberpunk Deus Ex-like from the creators of Eldritch, you try to slip into secure locations, snag some info, and slip out undetected in a variety of ways.

Anodyne![sean-han-tani.itch.io] A curious Zelda-like game that takes inspiration from the surreal dreamscapes of Yume Nikki, and the slightly off vibes of Link's Awakening.

Paratopic![arbitrarymetric.itch.io] Would you like to get a little more surreal but also more unnerved? Then this may be the game you're after!

Cosmic Express![draknek.itch.io] A cute looking game that's deviously difficult, as you try to sort out train routes in clumsy space colonies.

Skipchaser![ponywolf.itch.io] Become a corporate mercenary goon going out on missions, upgrading your weaponry, and doing it over & over for...Reasons?

Master Spy![turbogun.itch.io] Did you like the '80s pulp action flicks? Do you like challenging sidescrolling stealth with killer jams to play to? Then Master Spy might be up your alley!

The Haunted Island: A Frog Detective Game![fisho.itch.io] A silly game about solving the mystery of what's haunting an island...As a frog-person. Talk to folks, get confused, admire cute art!

These are just a few games of the many on sale on Itch, and some even include a Steam key! So consider giving them a look if you're after some variety apart from the usual AAA fair that's all too often mired in additional requisite clients and sketchy DRM situations!

Hey everyone! Sorry I've not been super active lately (work does that), but I've been keeping an eye on things to a degree regardless.

In that vein, as I'm sure some of you may be aware, the GOG Winter Sale has begun! And for some icing on the sale cake, BioShock 1 & 2 Remastered[www.gog.com] are now available on GOG relatively cheaply for those of ya interested!

Please note that the classic versions will be released later as a free bonus, but it appears that BioShock 2's Minerva's Den DLC is not included with BioShock 2 Remastered and is not currently available on GOG.

Besides that, in case you missed it, Gris[www.gog.com], a surreal platformer with phenomenal art came out a few days ago, and is available DRM free on GOG.

Last but not least, as I'm sure many of you are aware, Epic Games has entered the field as a new challenger for games storefronts. Currently they have no mandatory DRM, but they also don't disallow DRM nor do they indicate whether games offered there have any DRM included, so please be wary in your purchases there.

At the same time, let Epic know that you would like explicit indications of whether games sold through their store include DRM of any sort, so that you can make informed purchases.

Regardless, it's as great a time for games as ever, depending on what you're after. Ashen, Below, Gris, and Hades, all within a couple weeks, and each sounding like they have their own striking charm to them!

EDIT:
I AM A FOOL!

I forgot to mention, GOG Connect now has the following games available to liberate from Steam:
-Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
-Shadowrun Returns
-Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut
-Shadowrun Hong Kong - Extended Edition
-Trine Enchanted Edition
-Age of Wonders 3
-Forgotten Anne
-I Have No Mouth, And I Must SCREAM!

Wait, what's this have to do with DRM? The Right to Repair is directly linked with efforts to push back against DRM and protect the right to circumvent DRM so that one may maintain electronic equipment.

With this US decision, this may bring things closer (in the US at least) to allowing for one to circumvent DRM in digital products for the same basic purposes of repairing/maintaining the usability of software!

Also be advised, I'm by no means a lawyer, much less an international lawyer, so please keep that in mind.
