I don't really want GOG to bend or break any of their rules, because when you start doing that there's no going back, and we don't need another store with the same problems of Steam.

Also, it's pretty obvious that no major publisher will join Origin or UPlay or Battle.net. They are competitors and making EA or Ubisoft earn more money from their products is the last thing they want to do. If they're on Steam is because they don't see Valve as competition anymore.

No, I don't mean bending the rules and simply opening the floodgates for asset flippers. I was on about them trying to bend their primary "DRM free" rule and trying to get some of those AAA games that are only on Steam, that the other clients willingly ignore. 

 

I absolutely do not want any of the other clients supporting asset flipping devs. 

That is going to be really tough. I would love to see them selling high profile games with DRM in them but I can already see the massive outrage of GoG hardliners, completely ruining their reputation. And for what? I mean even if GoG had all of the high profile AAA games, what would motivate people to leave Steam for it when Steam has those as well and all of their achievements and friends and their backlog?

They've ran themselves in the corner with their DRM policy but it's not like they could succeed to a meaningful degree any other way. DRM free stuff is basically the main draw. What else can any store offer that Steam can't and is actually relevant to mainstream gamers?
