mrkgnao: More than two months have passed since I had contacted GOG support about "SpellForce Platinum" being outdated vis-a-vis steam (where the game had been updated to version 1.61 back in April 2021). Nothing has happened in that respect in the meantime and the game remains grossly outdated on GOG.
I have given up on GOG updating the game anytime soon; I have therefore rebought the game today from a steam key seller for US$2.5. I can report that the steam version is DRM-free and client-free out-of-the-box, as far as I can tell. I bought my key from Fanatical but there are other places where you can buy the steam key for more or less the same price when on sale (https://isthereanydeal.com/game/spellforceplatinumedition/info/).
phaolo: Sad.. btw did you try asking about Gog on Steam, in the patch discussion?

I would do it myself, but I can't partecipate since I never bought anything on that store.
