You're right. My rant was about the fact that I need to use a 3rd party store in order to have a game.
As opposed to buying directly from the developer?
I've been burned way too many times by developers selling direct, e.g. giving out download links that only work for very limited amounts of time, with no re-downloads after that period.
Yes, or an Internet store that would let me download the game instead of installing a piece of software on my computer.
I'm super spoiled:-)
You can purchase the game on https://www.gog.com/game/noita, and download a DRM free installer for Noita. Their own launcher (GOG Galaxy) is purely optional. All games purchased on GOG can be downloaded that way.
Thanks! I didn't know that! :)
There are actually many releases on HumbleStore and GOG without DRM protection.
i think this would make it necessary to include a lot of anti-piracy code that would not normally be necessary. otherwise it will be up on pirate bay right after release.
