amok: for gOg and some of the gOg user-base, the problem might lie here:
"Will I need a Bethesda.net account to play the game?
A Bethesda.net account is required for online multiplayer, and Add-ons. Everything else in the game is playable without linking your account
[...]
Do I need an always online connection to play the game?
Quake can be played offline. Currently, official Add-ons require an internet connection to play even if previously downloaded, however we hope to address this in a future update"

ChrisG_: Thanks, i did not know this ! it kind of changes things.
Not going to lie, that is bad and tbh these Bethesda stunts are getting tiresome and should face pushback. I'm happy i don't work for work GOG in this case because they are pretty stuck between a rock and a hard place here.
Release it and people will be upset over the DRM and they have all the right to be, on other hand there are people who have bought the game and expect all the content to be available and they aren't exactly wrong to feel so either in this case.
Bethesda can shove their bullshit for all i care but it's a corporate desicion and not the employees fault though, i wonder if " however we hope to address this in a future update" this line has something to do with GOGs delayed release or simply a lie to make it sound like they are actually trying to remedy the drm'ed add on issue while in reality setting on their asses doing nothing.
It’s ok, gog can just remain silent and ignore the problem. Their army of defenders will jump on any complaints, as has been pointed out on many products DRM/online gating is perfectly acceptable for GOG.
