Except those that they sell DRM-free.

But yeah, the customer is left in the lurch for those that require the client to have online access. In that case, that's what receipts and torrents are for.

I can also confirm what Mr.Mumbles said. I screwed up my local saves in Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth and Galaxy gave me the choice of choosing which saves to use. I was also able to redownload the saves manually from the extras hastle free too.

Here's another thing I didn't know was possible, but I'd imagine it would be an easy feature to add. How do you do that? Is it under Extras, but only when using the Galaxy client? I'm not at my computer and can't look it up.
What you did there... I see it! ;)

If you click on your installed game in Galaxy, click "More", then "back ups and goodies", scroll down and you'll see "cloud saves backup copy". Just click to download.

I don't think all games support this feature yet but it's easy enough to find out by looking in back ups and goodies

Thank you! I would assume that all games that have cloud saving, also have this option. Since, it feels like this is something that is Galaxy specific, and less something that each game developer would need to add to their game.

When I played the game on Steam (1..31 not GOTY) four times, the last one I played offline. I simply closed my internet connection and loaded the game. I found out that there is a lot more dialog and options in almost every quest playing offline then saving to the "Cloud". Even if that extra rich content didn't exist, I have been reading about the hacking of cloud servers by professional teams of hackers that raid various servers for data mining of internet accounts. Its definitely not as secure as the pundits claim it is. Offline, no one can get to my data unless they have robust magical talents. Since I don''t know any mages of the Light or the Dark, I can play my games with no worries. I was a victim of identity theft back in 2008 and I came out of it mostly intact when the old FBI caught the Russian hackers responsible. I am wary of this and its a thousand times worse ten years later with all the government trained hackers out there. I found that simply unplugging the Web and playing this GOTY game it saves it in file under my user name. Simple as pie actually, but thanks for all of your responses.

so far one can download offline installers for owned games on gog. so after download, one can install a game offline. this may gets removed by gog very soon, as they try to become more steamlike. but anyway, if a installed gog game is really playable, is today like playing russian roulette with an fully loaded assault rifle. the games are bugged, unupdated, broken and/or abandoned compared to the counterparts on steam, etc. so just buy your games elsewhere, buying here is like burning money.

Cloud saves have nothing whatsoever to do with dialogue options. Whatever you saw, it wasn't because of cloud saves.

Perhaps you should help fund and support piracy websites since that will be the place thats actually DRM-free. How about supporting the Nintendo Switch emulator thats made great progress so far? You won't support DRM but your not exactly helping DRM-free initiatives anywhere so do you plan on doing something useful or will you crawl back under a rock? Note: this messege is for EVERYONE you people need to stop being lazy and selfish bastards and do something useful against DRM, voting with your wallet does jack shit and you know it, stop lying to yourself.

:sigh: Now I'm starting to sound like apehater...

you're right, guys support people that do help to play old games, like the guy that made nglide!!

Of course. Save for the ones that are online focused. :p
