September 18 is the international day against DRM. So why is GOG not listed as one of the supporters? You'd expect GOG to be on board after campaign like this.

Because it only became International Day Against DRM when a bored blogger woke up this morning and decided it was. :P

I don't know the reasons, but instead of joining Defective By Design's initiative, GOG chose to run their own parallel FCK DRM one. What is more, they have renamed this day as FCK-DRM day in one of their tweets.

As I said, I don't know the reasons why they do this. Maybe it's because Free Software Foundation are strong Linux believers, being it the better option for a DRM-Free OS, and GOG has unfortunately a very weak Linux support, and most CDPR games are Windows-only.

because they want to appeal to edgy teens and low IQ idiots.

At least they updated the DRM-free sources on the FCK DRM site to include game stores other than just GOG.

At least fckdrm.com links to Defective By Design and asks us to support them.

This is perilously close to interfering with Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Wanton nudity for all the games. Witcher 3? Optional clothing free patch. Caesar IV, all the walkers are nude. Creatures? …wait a tick, they don't have clothes in the first place.

I hope CP2077 would support Linux. And CDPR should really show more support to Linux.

I'm surprised. More so that they added Zoom, the one which has been said does not want to be associated with GoG at all, instead of Fireflower (http://fireflowergames.com/); the one which allegedly applied to be added.

Where and in what context did they express that opinion? I've never heard of them before, I'm just curious.
