Let's say I collect these rewards. How do I back up my game including the rewards or is that not possible? That'd be bad.

Good question: There might be two options if GOG doesn't give us an offline installer. One would be to install the game with DLC and back up the whole game folder. Since someone said, you can play using the DLC offline. If you do this, compress the folder before backing it up.

Or you could maybe back up the DLC files and drop them into the main game folder. Has anyone tired this?

Edit: Maybe I'll try tonight.

Adding DRM to your game after the shitstorm that happened on CP77's release was already incredibly stupid or arrogant, but creating an extra news thread only to rub the DRM in our faces takes the stupidity/arrogance to a whole 'nother level. Well done Gog.

(Since you guys are obviously so out of touch with your customers I must warn you that that "well done" was sarcastic.)

I think it's time I put back my forum signature. You guys can't go three months without shooting yourselves in the foot.

vv221: The good old anti-DRM GOG died the day they announced Galaxy for the first time. Now they have no more value than other stores like Humble Bundle with their mix of DRM-free and DRM-ridden games
avatar
StingingVelvet: Galaxy is a blessing for numerous reasons and does not inherently add DRM, but this is a tired circle of futility. You guys are never constructive, you never speak with nuance, it's 24/7 pointless anger and grievance that poisons the soul. I have to stop letting myself engage with it.

TZODnmr2k5: Just note that only the malcontent will permanently complain about everything, even when things go their way; they still want to bitch without any constructive contributions save for knee-jerk reactionary extreme black-and-white solutions, and when one of them engages you with their toxicity, just smile, let them spew, and move on, as you will only waste your time with them, as they're not looking for a solution, just conflict as that is what they strive for!
I'm pretty sure vv221 has made plenty of 'constructive contributions' including maintaining the whole play.it project (basically doing half of GOG's job for them in fixing outdated Linux builds for years on end). Someone with "blind hate" would not put in that effort to provide free support for almost 800 GOG games. So whilst there are some "malcontents" here, it's just as toxic and dishonest to stick an "everyone who criticizes GOG in any way is a hater" label on an entire group of people no matter how or what they actually say as a cheap way of 'hit and run' dismissive non-engagement.

The trouble here is you've not really done that. You've sent a (quite insulting) message to them disguised as a post to someone else and helped continue the cycle of anger.

Hear hear! I really appreciate vv221's work on play.it.

If i already own the game, will I get them automatically? or do I need to open the game?

Both sides are sticking people groups. If you're not against the dlc you are GOG shill. If you're against the dlc you're just hating.

Just because someone make contributions this dosen't exclude them from having blind hate. A lot of people had their opinion change about GOG over the years. To me saying GOG is no more value than humble bundle was pretty dumb. Humble Bundle a store with most their games having drm, compared to GOG that is still 99% drm free.

I had humbled bundle remove drm free games for a steam key. This something I never had to deal with on GOG.

Dose humble bundle even add new drm free games anymore?

I'm still fairly new-ish to the site but if I were to believe half the people here, GOG is a "toxic filled forum all due to the anti-DRM crowd". In reality, looking at page 1 of this thread, posts 2, 3, 5, etc, are shallow goading right at the start long before anyone "anti DLC" posted. The 'tone' was set right there from post #2. Ignoring the off-topic talk about other stores, other people who did take the time to explained what the issue was and why (eg, posts 22, 112 and 127) got completely ignored because it was "cheaper" to continue personal attacks / smearing against the who well into page 3. So no, I'm genuinely not really seeing any "rational debate" equally applied here regarding "play the ball not the player".

"if I’m to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all."
Everything works as it is intended to in my opinion.

Time4Tea: How can I have confidence that a similar thing won't happen with those? Why should I trust GOG with anything?
avatar
Gersen: That's the whole point of DRM-free : You don't.
The whole point of DRM-free is that I can't have confidence that a store that has built its reputation on selling DRM-free games and has promised for years to be '100% DRM-free' won't betray its promises? Well, this gets down to the key point now doesn't it, and at least you seem to admit it: GOG fundamentally cannot be trusted.

That's not the start - there were already 9 pages of another thread before someone created this thread to split the conversation from there. https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_witcher_3_wild_hunts_free_nextgen_update_is_here_f78bf

There do seem to be two groups active on the forums: one that cares about DRM-free (which is the main reason they shop here) and another that doesn't really (and will apparently bend over backwards to defend GOG against any accusations of wrongdoing). The first group were GOG's core customer base (and, frankly, are the reason the store exists in the first place), but it has been shrinking and many seem to have left over the past several years, due to what they see as a sustained pattern of DRM encroachment on the store. GOG's management seem to have made a decision that their future lies with the latter group and that differentiation based on being 'DRM-free' is just holding them back from what they really want to be.

Good luck to them - they're going to need it.

There is reason the first 3 posts were shallow goading. This topic has been repeated before. They known what was coming right away. It came to the point where everyone predicted what users were going to post.

There was already another Witcher 3 thread that turn into shitstorm the day before. The arguments have been going in circles. Some people are not taking it seriously anymore.

We are all anti drm, its just some of us don't see everything black or white.

Yes and reading page one of that, the first personal attacks there (16 and 18) are the same pattern by the same group, so...
