terrisus: Preventing access to games that you purchased.
Removing games that you purchased.
etc.

a.k.a. Part of the whole reason I use GOG to begin with.

snowkatt: i dread what tinyP will come up with then

zeogold: ....so then just buy them on GOG instead of using this service. What's the big deal?

snowkatt: so buy them on gog
download them and keep them backed up
and dont get a steam account or use this service

problem solved

me thinks you are looking for a problem where there is none

terrisus: The "big deal" is that this wording is now in GOG's user agreements.
As long as not using this program allows one to not have to agree to those added agreements, everything is fine.

zeogold: I'm watching both of you.

zeogold: Seeing as the agreements only relate to Valve/games bought from Steam, I'd say that's the case. Unless you think that Valve should somehow be held responsible for games you buy here on GOG.

qwixter: Gog gets the nuttiest of the nuts.

snowkatt: now you are in tinfoil hat territory

terrisus: And, as I stated in my message to GOG, I am just looking for verification from them that this is the case.

And for other people to evaluate what they are doing and how it impacts what they're agreeing to, as opposed to just blindly downloading, installing, and agreeing to stuff.

zeogold: *starts hustling on the next court game*
zeogold: Me, or terrisus?

snowkatt: oh perish forbid people NOT reading the agreement
not as if that never ever happened before

that was sarcasm i add this for emphasize some people have trouble with this

terrisus: If your position is based around not being interested in reading something that you're agreeing to, I have no interest in reading your posts.

zeogold: Guys, cut the OP a little slack. At least he's actually reading the privacy policy, paying attention to it, and asking GOG for clarification on it. Even if most of you consider it a stupid/pointless question, at least he's actually pursuing an answer/clarification. As I think Breja mentioned in another thread, I'd rather GOG feel like their community is watchdogging them and actually checking up on their honesty rather than just letting them do whatever the heck they want. This may be a trivial matter, but at least GOG knows that people are watching what they're doing and will call them out on it.
