I don't care for gog either, its a last resolt and I have to run in non
protective mode to access it and you can't get updates but if I have no
choice I use that.
It is a pitty that microsoft game studios doesn't release any more games
like as dusk falls and does more apps.
I mean ms store is good but I haven't seen it used for the windows system.
The store is an mostly accessible web app and once I have the games
brought its registered on my account.
Once its registered on my account unless its for a particular machine it
can get downloaded on any ms console or machine I choose.
The system will automatically register itself bring it on xbox, load my
score and the like.

I would probably use GOG too but I find their web site very busy with ads and
few navigation landmarks making it a chore to work with. So I just pass them
by. And it's not just old games any more so it's just another game vendor to
me. Nothing special.

at least gog can download without the client.
I mostly go into visual novels these days but it would be good if itch
could be used more.
Recently like steam they stopped accepting paypal from new zealand but
mysteriously this has returned on itch so thats ok.
On steam I can't even change my currency I shell out which is a shame as
that was how I was able to go in itch, and actually pay in us direct
instead of my own currency to us converted.

Itch.io is my prefered game platform too. No nonsense like a game client that
has to be running when you play your game. I didn't mind needing to use it to
download the game because it did it in the background, but once the game was
downloaded and installed, I would rather exit the client before launching the
game. Games are demanding enough on your computer's resources. Why add to the
problem with an unneccessary downloader being in memory? Thankfully itch.io
doesn't do that. The minute they do, I'm gone.

Thats also my issue.
Even though steam is accessible I really don't like supporting something
that the company blatently doesn't want accessibility and doesn't care.
That makes myself realy angry, like I want to swear and punch and so on.
Now paypal is out of steam and to be honest while I know I will be
missing stuff, I have used games with gog and I have used games with
itch which is my prefured previder of choice.
I want rhythm doctor but they ahve not updated their itch store and well
who knows.
Its summer and to hot as it is but even so.

I agree with you regarding Steam. I have found that games without Steam work a
whole lot better than the same game with Steam, so I will no longer use it.
Another reason I won't use Steam is because for years Valve refused to make it
blind user accessible and I don't want to encourage that kind of thinking or
behavior.

Yeah, I tried Brock but couldn't figure out combat. The way I understand it
you're supposed to be able to hear your oponent but I never hear anything so I
gave up on combat and that just leads to a boring game.

Hi Guys, i'm venting here, i'm bored with all the games i have. I hate
rpgs and I bought all the items at the malls in fruit pot both the new
and legacy and fruit pot 2. They're isn't anything more to unlock that
i can tell. I also have the blind fold slots, which some work and some
don't. And forget about joker poker!!! I don't understand it. I have
games on my pc, but i'm bored with them too. Quentin C, if you're out
there, could you think about putting a slot machine on the playroom?
Also, none of the regular slots on the app store are accessible. Thanks
for letting me vent. Any help would be appreciated. signed bored to tears.
