What a bad day to be Hulk Hogan.

Pretty sure this is another case of "I don't understand this so I think I'll start screaming about DRM".
The reviews are already getting raped just like Aow3's did.
Sure doesn't sound like DRM to me, having to be logged in to GOG to redeem a GOG key?
Phooey.


Career ruined over slip in 'political correctness'?
It's the in thing.

It seems a bit more complex. Because you start the game. And ingame you login with your gog account to unlock this bonus stuff.

But you only have to do that once.

While I would not really call it DRM, I can understand some people worrying and complaining about single player features that require an internet connection for verification. Some people are worried this is how DRM on GOG will start, little small things before some big "Good News" announcement about having to have a game with DRM in order to get it here, just as they did with regional pricing and things like that.

What was wrong with the AOW3 reviews? Was that the first game with regional pricing?

Thanks !!! ,',,',',,'>:-|

That pretty much sums up my thoughts. I'm not outraged or anything, but I'm still concerned, and I hope this doesn't become full time DRM.

**Nimbly trap the nomming blob in the big empty jar which smells like peanut butter** ):-| .....Na !!

You only have to go online and enter the key once, just like redeeming a gift.
AoW3 lost all kinds of rep because of 'alleged DRM'.

Yep. But I can understand why people see this as DRM, since it is an ingame online activation.

What I find more interesting is that the descriptions says:
"For a little something special, your copy of the game will come with a one-time-use GOG.com-exclusive Treasure Key!"

So it is one-time-use? If my computer screws up and I need to re-install the game, does that mean you can not get the items anymore? That would really frustrate me :D

I concur.

Looks more like a "confirm purchase, get some nifty unlockables" thing than any real DRM.

The rage and butthurt, though they're delicious.

That's why I always am politically incorrect. Saves a lot of trouble.

**Drop down a rope for my Agent**
I hope you made some progress in climbing a rope, since last time... :-)
Ho, good, I didn't see you already rescued him...
Too bad, I won't be able to know if he has trained on rope climbing....
Thanks, Moon the Rescuer !!

I think it's more like you can use that only once in-game - similar to special Items in MMOs...

Again ??? >:-| .....

I hope that is what a lot of the frustration is over, people being worried about the bigger picture and not just one incident of exclusive content requiring the internet and using that as an excuse to be hostile to each other. While it's bad, it's not a game breaking element, but I can understand people being concerned about more DRM coming to GOG.

I know, it's not really a big deal for me, I was just saying what many have said before. I did not know AoW 3 had alleged DRM, but then I don't really follow these things.

Do you like the look of the new game?

I think it is one time only. Once it has been used that is it, gone forever. At least that is what some are saying in the release thread.
