Well, too bad for Rockstar, no money from me.

I saw quite some games that had activation based DRM migrate to Steam, so that - besides uPlay and Origin - I would not recommend that anymore. Not only because the GfWL debacle but mostly the non-Steam Versions get abandoned and an upgrade from the non-Steam versions is not always possible.
Bioshock 1/2, Batman Arkham Asylum / CIty, Blade Kitten, 40K Warhammer DoW 1, Resident Evil 5/6 (upcoming) and some others.
In the last year I saw quite some non-Steam games with 3rd party DRM in my library just become digital garbage, mostly because of GfWL-closure but not always. For some games, upgrade was possible, for others not. And quite a few Double-DRM Steam games got their nasty 3rd party DRM patched out, Disciples III Reincarnation being the most prominent, in recent times.
Yes, it's complicated and a gamble either ways. But since recently the Steam versions seem the far safer bet.
just my 2c.

This is why ALL DRM must go.
It's pure evil.

To be frank, if a developer comes to GOG.com to advertise his own game, I personally would presume the game is also being sold on GOG.com. There are other developers and publishers too who come to advertise their games during GOG.com promos and such, and I think it is widely accepted and even preferred (good customer relations and such), as long the advertiser doesn't try to hide the fact he has a vested interest (e.g. acting as if he is merely a satisfied customer; in your case you are using your real name, which is kinda ok in my eyes).
Now you are merely promoting a GOG.com competitor for your game, on a GOG.com forum. Or has GOG.com possibly declined your game?

Yep, i'd like to see Oknytt on GOG, too! It's a glaring omission in GOG's library and i wonder why it isn't available here.

Indeed, thanks for the Oknytt mentions, they convinced me to buy instead of continuing to overlook it, which I'd done quite a few times before now. :)
