This seems like a stupid question, but… how do you login?

Clicking on the account button opens a window inviting you to enter an email address and password to either login or create an account, but once you've entered those, there seems to be no way to proceed.

I tried creating an account via the Talisman website in the hopes that the game would let me log into it, but no luck. Once you've entered your email address and password, there's nothing else to click to proceed any further, and simply pressing Return doesn't help.

If it matters, I'm using the Mac edition.

According to the gamecard, GOG Galaxy 2.0 is required to access online features and cross-platform multiplayer with Steam is supported.

Ah, that'd explain it, I guess – thanks. Personally, I never normally use the Galaxy client. Multiplayer isn't important to me; I just wondered why there seemed to be no way to log in as such.

This begs the question: if an account on a third-party service (i.e., not GOG) is required anyway, why is the store client required as well? Not that I play online multiplayer in anything, really, but as far as I'm aware, most modern games have one or the other requirement for online functionality, not both (e.g., Torchlight II -- needs third-party account, but not Galaxy).

The publisher wants to ensure that the players that do play online have a non-pirated version of the game.

As far as I've seen, the "no store check for multiplayer" is not the norm for post-2010 games.

For those that bother to release DRM-free builds, I meant. I don't use Steam or other entirely-client-based stores, but I understand that their norms are likely different in this respect. But I can't think of any other game here that requires both Galaxy AND a third-party login to play online -- can you? I'll admit that I might've missed a few, but I'm still willing to bet it's a small number. And rightly so: it's rather obnoxious.

GOG is not DRM free and never was. You cannot resell own game copy, right? So it is not Yours property. This is typical DRM. And Yes, GOG says "we dont have DRM" but it is bull*it from the beginning. Dont be naive. DRM is not to kill piracy, because no one care about piracy, DRM is to kill second hand market. DRM is against legal users, to take out their property rights.

As far as I know, GOG's DRM-Free only means "There's no install/activation limits and the game will always be playable offline in singleplayer mode". Online features (including multiplayer) might be another story.
