tfishell: GOG could suggest it and then the devs won't do it because they'll say it's too much extra work for them, which it might be if they're a small team.
Right But the problem is that GOG did not suggest devs to do this. But suggest to make support for GOG Garbage.

tfishell: Just don't buy the game if it doesn't have the features you want.
Could you not write such obvious things? It looks silly.

I'll post whatever as it doesn't break the forum rules, I've posted plenty of silly things before. :P As for the first part, yeah okay, maybe GOG didn't suggest. You could contact Support suggesting GOG suggest suggestions, or contact the devs directly. I'm not sure how often complaining on this forum changes things anymore, maybe if enough people care, but I doubt enough do on this matter.

Mr.Mumbles: I can't see how anybody would want to play something like this online. That kind of co-op is best experienced as couch co-op. ;)

Loger13: Is Galaxy the only option to play co-op? If I need a co-op through a client, I will install Steam.

GOG, next time try to do well for everyone and suggest that developers implement not this GOG Garbage, but a coop through LAN or Direct Connection: it’s easier for developers (a unified store-independent mode) and the coop will work without GOG Garbage and it will work between versions in any stores (automagic cross-store COOP).

Ah, I forgot, you need to push your client and it doesn’t matter to you what is better for ALL users (and not only for the part that uses GOG Garbage). You need to add game to cart and go to checkout.
While I agree that the best option would be LAN support, the second best option is to make online play not Steam exclusive (ideally supporting crossplay). Why would Steam garbage be better than GOG garbage?

If devs want to rely on clients/3rd-party-infrastructure - you'd rather have crippled GOG versions? We have enough of those already.

You go on. In fact, I already did this in part.

From the technical side - of course nothing. Also garbage, you're absolutely right.
But since we are talking about coop through a client, Steam is better because there are LOTS of people with whom you can play this very coop. Unlike the dead online in the corral of GOG Garbage.

toxicTom: If devs want to rely on clients/3rd-party-infrastructure - you'd rather have crippled GOG versions? We have enough of those already.
That is why the LAN / DC option is good because it does not have to rely on third-party components, clients or services. Steam, GOG or something else. And even if these services die, such a co-op will continue to work.
And the current GOG version is already crippled.

Not me. I don't use Steam. Case closed.

SylvanFae: Bought
But after few hours im thinking...I need coop friends.damn.
Does that mean you tried the single player mode? How is it? Also, did you notice if it can do local coop (it sounds like it can from the game page)?

As I. Therefore, I wrote that if I need a store with a client to play coop, I will install Steam.
I bought this throughout cellphone,need two weeks then I will have nswers

Multiplayer Notice: Please note that the GOG Galaxy is required for online multiplayer games.
Multiplayer is available only between GOG.com users.

What you say implies that pirate users also play without paying for the game.

Of course, no developer is going to approve of that.

I am sorry but no, for online you need a verified online game key (like in the old days with gameSpy), or In its absence, a client that does this process automatically.

The online DRM-FREE = piracy. And that should not be supported by developers of any kind.

You messed up the tabs - your phrases should be written in Steam.
All the same can be said about the singleplayer mode, however, as you can see, all the games here are without DRM. Although when GOG was launched, many spoke "Of course, no developer is going to approve of that"

I'm sorry, but no, for online play to Biped I need only download pirated version of it and can play online without any key or client.
The time that separates me from playing this game online is measured by the amount of time it takes me to download a pirated Steam version of this game and two minutes extra. And of course, my desire to play pirate version (which is not, and therefore I ask about this option here).

Lodium: The devs have to make LAN or Direct Connection
Its not up to gog

Loger13: Right. ButI it was GOG that persuaded developers to made GOG Garbage support in their game. Instead, it would be better to persuade them to do LAN/DC support.
No, it was not
The client is based on a voted survey amongst the userbase
alot of users was in favor of the client

When it comes to this Game in perticcular the devs chose to only use the Client wich by the way makes perfect sense
if you are a indie studio with limited recoursers and funding
For the features you listed up requires coding from the dev or willingness and economic muscles to let the gog userbase use those features.

Only the most popular games or Games that have a legacy following or are cult classic do have active co op/lan direct play avaible unless you set it up yourself (This requires Friends or bots)
Allthough a game with only bots in my oppinoin cant be classified as a multiplayer game since youre playing against or with the AI not other players (multiplayer)
There are plenty of games that have dead lobbys or where you cant find anyone to play with those features even on Steam

Also, you are kinda contradicting yourself since hammachi is just a third party component
You also had Tunngle but im not sure that exist annymore

If you want those features
i think a better option is to ask the devs of the game
if they can provide it for the gog userbase

I was going to wait for some reviews but had put it in my cart and accidently purchsed it with wallet funds after someone mentioned that the Scythe soundtrack was free.

Since I was considering it anyway I was going to try it, however the first thing it does is pop up a EULA screen (although unlike most it doesn't actually include the EULA, it tries to make an internet connection for that that didn't work since my game system is offline) and I notice the word "Tencent". It seems NExT Studios is part of Tencent. Due to the situtation in Hong Kong and other human rights issues I don't want to support a company that closely connected to the Chinese government so I will try to get a refund (not trying to start a political discussion here; I also wouldn't want to buy from companies with that close of a connection to the US or most other governments). I haven't tried the game iteself at all (annoyingly, it doesn't give you a direct way to quit if you click reject, you need to close the game from the OS).

According to Wikipedia Tencent fully owns a few developers around the world (including Funcom, developers of The Longest Journey) and has part ownership of what looks like almost all of the largest game developers (although mostly less than 10%, other than 40% of Epic games). It seems Unity Technologies is part owned (not sure how much) more directly by the Chinese government as well, so it is very difficult to buy any game without a bit of the money going to the Chinese government, although overiously some of the money goes to other governments with their own human rights violations as well. The Wikipedia article doesn't mention NExT Studios but I found another article that mentions it being part of Tencent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-03-09-how-an-unlikely-tencent-project-is-helping-chinas-indie-scene-to-grow

IMO, GOG should include any controlling owner of any developer or publisher on the game page (I have a list of companies I want to avoid, not just Tencent). It isn't always easy to find this information while they could require it as a condition of listing the game. In any case, I obviously need to be more careful about what games I buy than I have been.

I have fixed your wrong phrase for you: "Yes, it was yes".
You need to strain your thought processes a bit:
It doesn’t matter how many users voted for the client, because multiplayer via LAN or DC can be used by those who use the client and those who don’t.
So the LAN/DC is still better for more users (and not limited to one store), and has advantages that the client will never give.

And this is generally complete nonsense: than making support for another client to make universal mode much easier. Moreover, there are a considerable number of games with already open source code, where all this is already ready-made. Easier to implement.
And GOG userbase have used these LAN/DC features many times in other games. For example Quake 3, Torchlight 2, Dying Light, Divinity: Original Sin, Saints Row 2 / 3 / IV, Far Cry 2, Timeshift, FlatOut 2 and many more.

Should I find a couple of examples of not "most popular games or cult classic" games to show the falsity of your statement, or do you just admit that you blurted it out without thinking?
And activity has nothing to do with it. This is a matter of opportunity. I have someone to play with. So the question of activity does not concern me at all. Like so many others. There is such a thing - friends. See the meaning of the word in the dictionary.

avatar
Lodium: Allthough a game with only bots in my oppinoin cant be classified as a multiplayer game since youre playing against or with the AI not other players (multiplayer)
Who cares what you think about playing with bots if we are talking about multiplayer via LAN/DC?

avatar
Lodium: There are plenty of games that have dead lobbys or where you cant find anyone to play with those features even on Steam
This is not an argument at all - exactly the same thing can be said about multiplayer through the store’s client - it’s full of games where multiplayer is just as dead there (dead lobbies). This is not a technical issue at all.

avatar
Lodium: Also, you are kinda contradicting yourself since hammachi is just a third party component

Hamachi (or Tunngle) is just a tool. They do not have to be used. Especially if you have a real local area network.
And for the Direct Connection mode, they are not needed at all.
So I do not contradict anything. These voices in your head contradict each other.

Lodium: If you want those features

Of all your commentary, this is the only thing that makes any sense.
But, as I said earlier, I do this from time to time. Imagine - I guessed it myself, without this your "thoughtful" conclusion.
Do you still have more such "brilliant" conclusions? Well, there, for example, "play games where you have the modes you need", "the sun rises in the east". Here everyone really lacks such deep ideas.
