You only download games Brazilzero, you rebuy old games from GOG and say: here it works, i spend money on an old game again. These versions are modefied in order to work on new OSs.

But have you ever tried to buy a used PC game disc from the 90s or even PS2 era? These games wont work anymore on your new computer on a new OS. This will be the future of many PC games doesnt matter if you download them from steam, they will stop working one day if you have a newer OS from Microsoft, and not every devoloper is like Blizzard and will patch them. 

Even with Virtualization it wont work with every game, its so much of hazzle over just owning a PS1, PS2 and PS3 for example. In fact its easier and more convenient to emulate console games on PC than actually trying to get the equilant PC ports running on a mordern PC OS.

I was a PC gamer for almost a decade last gen unlike you who only recentley got into PC gaming. I know what i am talking about 

Why do you talk about PC gaming as if you know about it?. You spread so much lies its not even funny.

Virtualization means your running whatever OS you set it up for. the full OS.

The is plenty of ways of getting "Them old games" off the disc and playing them again using something like Dosbox. In fact for your information this is the same software GoG uses for them "Updated" releases.. Whoed of guessed??.

well i never was interested into digital games in the first place even when i was a PC gamer. But i do think they they modify the original game or something, or are setting the options in the correct settings in order for you to run these games.

And they are plenty of examples of older PC game who had a Disc version in the past but were rereleased on Steam, like Grandia 2. Why was it necessary  to release Grandia 2 when it allready exist as a PC DVD release? And there are countless of examples where PC games are silently rerealesed digitally: Resident Evil 5 Gold edition, Dark Souls 2 Sholar of the first Sin and so on. And people are happy of these rereleases on steam like they never existed before on PC. 

I never could figure out Dosbox properly on each game, sometimes it worked sometimes it didnt. Same with virtual OSs. Maybe you can run every PC game with these tools on a new OS but do you know what? is it worth it? To spend so much time, trial and error in order just to run a game instead actually gaming? Not for me anymore

I dont only download games - so get your facts straight.

I'm from India, not Brazil.

I have never bought a game from GOG - all 30+ games I got on GOG have been free. I have over 800 games on Steam and over 50 games on Origin.

I've never bought a PC game disc from the 1990s - all of my PC games are digital minus the Elder Scrolls Anthology but that was only because the Anthology was $20 and came with the Steam codes.

Can you explain why I downloaded a game from 1996 and still works for me on my Windows 8.1 laptop? No then stop making blind statements like you actually know how PCs work.

If you were a PC gamer for almost a decade, then you were a pretty clueless PC gamer especially after seeing how you responded about Virtualization. I've been working with computers since the 1990s - so unlike you, I know the ins and outs to actually troubleshoot and modify files.

yeah sure
