Thanks for the early warning and especially thanks for the human readable summaries next to each paragraph.
I find reading legal documents soul crushing.

KiNgBrAdLeY7: Damn, does this mean possible DRM intrusion, sneakily, the back door, legal way?
Even in the past you had to agree to some publisher specific EULA (ie. EA) when installing games so this is nothing new.
I bet Licurg is missing the "Buy Sacrifice!" paragraph.

What do you mean by launching? You mean whether it will be available in India? Are you referring to the digital or boxed version? I know the digital version i.e. our version will be available in India :)

Apparently EA backed out on releasing Dragon Age Inquisition in India due to local obscenity laws and such, so Shadowstalker16 was afraid that the same might happen with Witcher 3.
Just took an hour to read it all. I'm a slow reader. :(
Store Credit is valid for one year from the most recent purchase that gave you Store Credit (so any new purchase resulting in you getting Store Credit will refresh the expiration date of your Store Credit balance).
I am somewhat restless about the expiration of GOG credit when having purchased regionally priced games.
Of course, the expiration date is a very royal 365 days after purchase. But the fact that GOG will just remove the credit I earned from their services if I decide not to buy anything new for 365 days is kind of a pity.
But if you purchased another regionally priced game within 365 days. The credit amount you receive will be another 365 days. So if I understand it correctly: The 'old' credit be added to the newly earned credit? And that sum together will expire after 365 days?

If that is all correct, I wonder why you take our store credits away after a year.
Why the hell would you limit gifting?
I've read it all, ha! Looks reasonably to me, but I have two questions:


1) Store Credit is valid for one year from the most recent purchase that gave you Store Credit (so any new purchase resulting in you getting Store Credit will refresh the expiration date of your Store Credit balance).

Will there be any way to refresh the expiration date without buying another a regionally priced game?


2) You can gift GOG games and GOG videos to other people (up to a limit of 5 per day and provided the recipient doesn’t already own the GOG game/videobeing gifted) however this might defer on a case by case basis [...]

Could you explain this paragraph a little bit more? We can't buy more than 5 gifts a day (not that I could afford them anyway ;) ), or there will be situations when somebody receives weird message trying redeeming a gift? Or is it some way to prevent abusing free games from GOG?


And please make text in these pdfs easy to copy! ;P /edit: bah, it's just built-in pdf reader in Firefox that makes things ridiculous...

Wurzelkraft: Why the hell would you limit gifting?
Because of regional pricing?
okay.... wow large lap of texts :D

i read the user agreement

i must say that some parts almost look the same as those on gamersgate :D
so for that matter i am kinda used to such texts

furthermore: online browsergames from Gameforge (german company) also have an abundance of rules , some are quite heavy :D

Basically to me all looks the same in this agreement thing... so i don't see anything new or illogical in it so why these are shown i dont know ... :D

Now i will read the privacy policy :D and will see how that will be ( i have read dozens of these policies from other game accounts i have so i am quite used to some heavy stuff :)

okay i will begin: i will reply later in this reply

privacy policy:

.......

wow!

ABOUT THIS :
---------------------------

We might share some aggregated and general non
-
personal data
on user behaviour (e.g. sales per region)
with third party partners who work with us to provide
GOG services to you (for example,
with games
developers/publishers selling games on GOG.com or
with payment providers) in order to support, improve or
amend GOG services or to help them to improve their
products, which you have bought.
We may also share
non
-
personal information with data
analysis services to
help us run GOG.com.

-------------->

mmm? also sounds a bit like gameforge material :D

now i read some about merging or takeover of the company, i guess GOG means if the unlikely event should take place that they wil merge/coop or become part or get re-owned by others
that they try to keep the same policy they had like they used to.

I make of it , that if such a thing might occur, their cant be a agurantee that some info wont be collcted or used for other purposes?

???? ahwell all providers do that . so what the heck :D
cookies concent I ? already read news on dutch site telling about the new cookies
so i dont care ..... :D

finally:

Will our emailadress become wild spread over the entire internet?

Meaning that if i Google on a Email adress of mine that I will get gazillions posts and things i said /done or bought?

The physical version. Its at a kickballs price for a game of this caliber. No shit that happened like the stuff from EA.
1.2 If you're over 18, then welcome to GOG.com! If
you're between 13 and 18 (or whatever is the age of
adulthood in your country), before we extend an equally
warm welcome, please ask your parent or guardian to
review and approve this Agreement on your behalf
(because in some countries people under a certain age
cannot legally enter into contracts like this Agreement).
Legally, children below 13 cannot have a GOG account
(but their parents/guardians are welcome to sign up
themselves).
I just have to ask because I'm curious. Does it mean that if you are younger than 18 you technically don't own the account you have signed up here including legally purchased games? (Let's assume that internet transaction is possible in this case even if you are younger than 18). If that is true, than who owns your account?

is that: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Collector's Edition PC

if so, i searched for it on our dutch online site cant name the dutch store i think
but it is priced between 139 and 149 EUR

- The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt game
- Official soundtrack on cd
- Official Witcher Universe - The Compendium
- Detailed map of the ingame world
- Set of unique stickers

- 33x24x26 cm (10 ), 100% handpainted, polystone statue of Geralt of Rivia battling a Griffin
- Collector-grade Witcher medallion
- Unique steelbook
- Artbook 200 pagina's of artwork from the game
- Collector's Edition Box

If this is the game you mean, then its apparently also retail available in Europe


Now thats a ncie price, if i did 3d games, and i was able to play it on my system, i buy it, you see, now we have euros, before that we had guilders, i had age of empires (the very first one) for FL 129.95 (Guilders) , yes that was quite high priced back then.
So this one is a steal.... of course you can udnerstand that you cant ask 100 or more for digi only...
so thats why its still nice that retail cd/dvd physcial exists.

For old games. casual games. android games, digidownload is perfect but for something special physical is the best.

RWarehall: The only big thing I see is the 5 gifts per day limit. I'd like to know more about that. I know that during some of these big sales, I gift myself codes for future giveaways. Am I limited to 5 gifts to myself?
This! Preparing my 100 giveaway I bought 10-20 gift codes a day. When Nordic left the catalog I bought 14 gifts on one day. So how does this "5 gifts a day" limit work exactly?
