Syphon72: 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.

Time4Tea: 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.
A lot the people not up in arms have been with GOG for many years. I'm a more natural about the drm dlc, since it's free. Been with GOG since 2011 with over 1400 games in my account. Like to think I played a part in why GOG exists

Syphon72: There was already another Witcher 3 thread that turn into shitstorm the day before.

ListyG: Yes and reading page one of that, the first personal attacks there (16 and 18) are the same pattern by the same group, so...
Not saying names, but there are few users who are taking this too far. Insulting each other.

"I'm neutral on this subject".

*Continues to post 150 forum posts about why DRM on a DRM-free site is ok.*

And yet you played your part in "kicking things off" and setting the tone in post 16 of the other thread, long before they even posted...

Exactly.

Syphon72: 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.
I’ve been working on improving GOG games integration on Linux since 2013, and I am still doing it today (big thanks to ListyG and HappyPunkPotato for pointing this out by the way). I even took a part-time job instead of a full-time one to ensure I get enough time to keep doing that.

How do you reconcile that with "blind hate"?

It is interesting to see people who have been customers of the store for many years and who are making objective complaints about GOG betraying its core promises through specific, deliberate actions being labelled as 'blind haters'.

Personally, I would characterize what the other side is doing as 'blind defense' ;-)

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!

Toxic competition, if you will… ;)

Only the malcontented public is looking for a response, (Think, of the typical jerry springer audience member!) while those that don't, know that they're just angst-ridden adults that will never leave their adolescence behind in favour of the wicked joy they feel in their permanent quest with one-upping each other, so they already know it's a waste to engage them, so they simply don't!

The solitary time when these people are not looking for conflict is when they're busy collectively bitching or ganging up against anyone, regardless of whether it's one of their own or not… All one really needs to do to set these people off is simply disagree with them about anything!

TL;DR: The malcontent revel in shared misery, just pass them by and never engage with them as they're only looking for strife, period!
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

Syphon72: We are all anti drm, its just some of us don't see everything black or white.
Do you consider the extra items as having DRM? If not, why? If so, why aren't you against it? Just wondering about where you stand on the issue.

Seeing DRM as a black and white issue =/= seeing everything as a black and white issue. Bit of black and white thinking going on there :D

Ah, I think I've identified the issue. You as well as several users are under the impression that moderation is key and extremes are to be avoided. This is literally a logical fallacy, but in committing it anyway it's why there is so much recoil when people like me and others dare to say we don't want any DRM or DRM-like schemes in our games...as such position is "extreme" therefore it "can't" be right to you.

Here are a few facts: the "rewards" content is locked behind a DRM gate. We can now say that there is a portion of the game's content rendered inaccessible without passing the DRM check. The game which previously allowed access to all content without DRM gating, no longer meets that standard as now there is game content locked behind DRM. You or anyone else being butthurt that this means we call it a DRMed game doesn't change these facts.

While true that Galaxy is not inherently DRM any more than Steam is, you do see that it is being used for DRM purposes, much like the anti Galaxy crowd feared when it was released, right? I often argued that the client isn't DRM. But now it is definitely being used for DRM. So while the "extreme" Anti DRM, anti Galaxy crowd seemed to be pearl clutching early, they kind of have a point now. I look back and say that Galaxy as DRM was always the endgame, and it appears to be the case now as we get more and more content gated by DRM through Galaxy.

He can't hear you, he's too busy feeling #blessed by it...

You allude to an argument I've made for years. That by the time the rest of the site would catch up to the "malcontents" and "pearl-clutchers" warning of this future, it will have been too late. It's like waking up in 2022 and going, huh gee, I guess microtransactions aren't pro-consumer after all. Too late now! They ain't going away.

Don't get me wrong. I like Galaxy, and if they ever got it working right, I can't complain (you know, except for the whole DRM part). But to argue that it isn't inherently DRM is a moot point. It is correct, but does it matter when they're using it for DRM? Like you, I'd say "no".

I understand your position. In an ideal world, users would be able to pick from whatever options they want on an even playing field, with no manipulations involved (thinking of all the giant Galaxy buttons as an example here; in other words, those lead people to believe Galaxy is the default or that there is no other way but Galaxy. I know that you know better, but I believe it is designed this way to "catch" the less vigilant or careful).

Scheme client supposedly isn't DRM either. Yet it's used as one all the time. So really we are talking about something that is DRM for all practical purposes. Perhaps individual mileage varies, but to me we would have been better off without any of these things even if it meant sacrificing playtracking time, social features, etc (though I would contend these tasks could be accomplished in alternative ways without tying games to a DRM client).

Hey, does anyone know what is the best official way to contact GOG in order to request that they keep the old Witcher 3 Game of the Year edition as a separate game library/store entry?

Do I have to submit a support ticket, make a dedicated forum topic, make a wishlist entry, start some kind of petition, or what? Sorry, but I've never had to deal with this before.

I never expected DRMed games would be added to my library without my consent and I cannot get rid of it without losing access to installers for the classic game I originally purchased...
