What's not to like.. a free game! lol.I like:
-no client
-fast
-alternative selection of games not in steam.
Dislike (kinda)
-Installation cannot be made manually. It is done automatically and it requires internet connection to be performed properly.
-no support for download manager
-I have to copy a folder and GG's downloader if i want it on a diff machine.
That's it so far.. i'll update when i see something amiss.
Service review by Kianweic:
My take on Gamers Gate:
Pros:
1. Easy to download and install
2. DRM less intrusive compared to Steam and Stardock Impulse
3. Website is better laid out compared to Stardock Impulse
4. Region restriction not as rigid as Steam.
5. Some games are available in Gamer's Gate and are not available in Steam (my case was Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods).
Cons:
1. Backup of games takes some getting used to
2. Speed of download fluctuates a lot (probably due to Streamyx)
3. No Steamwork games (not fair to Gamers Gate though)
4. No automatic update / patch for games
Very few cons compared to pros (and most generally not Gamers Gate's fault)
In my opinion, some games are better to get from Gamers Gate (especially those without DLCs). Such as, Dead Rising 2, Gothic series and etc.
