GamersGate is a digital games distributor selling official PC game keys. Its catalogue includes thousands of AAA and indie games from publishing partners, with selections for Mac and Linux as well as PC titles. Most games activate through Steam, Epic Games Store or Rockstar Social Club, while some are DRM-free. The site also provides activation instructions for Origin and Ubisoft Connect. Download and installation limits vary with a game's copy protection: DRM-free and certain Steam, Epic or Uplay titles can be installed repeatedly as the game permits, while SecuRom, Starforce and other protection tools may impose limits. The website works on GNU/Linux, and many Windows game versions can run through Wine. GamersGate says it works with verified, licensed publishers rather than grey-market sources and receives game files directly from publishers. Support is available through an online form, and a Downloader help section covers backups, login, speed, storage and connection issues. The company traces its origins to 2004 and is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
