Mobeeuz: The GOG DRM cabal would descend upon it like rabid dogs, claiming that it's not DRM free, and then ****post about it for the next 3-6 months with their puppet accounts anywhere they can.
Team17 is just playing it smart.
I mean... GOG is a DRM free store front, which means exactly that... if they sold a product that was tied to DRM it makes sense for folks who bought a product expecting DRM free as the name and sale implies, as drm free, but if is not DRM free it doesn't make sense to NOT get angry about being sold something they were told they wouldn't be sold or have embedded in the software they buy.
That aside, yeah i was expecting this game to get LAN or local co-op component since it would of made sense for this game given its previous multiplayer history on steam.
