Just noticed today before I ALMOST bought this game VICTOR VRAN has drm? so gog is allowing drm on the platform now? or am I just stupid and don't know shit as of lately? lol

Don't believe everything you read, and please reference your source when making claims like that.

You are not required to log in anywhere in order to play the single-player game and a GOG login is NOT required to play the game.

The only login to Galaxy is to claim the GOG.com treasure bonus.

Square enix had server stuff or something once when I installed FF VII again it asked my e-mail and a password, it wasn't bad but it didn't work like in many hours. Kupo. ^^

I didn't like that at all.

You don't even need to login to Galaxy... it nothing more than a cheat to unlock some stuff early. We don't need another thread on how this game is DRM free or isn't. From GOG:

no no cause I seen the internet connection thing on the required shit field and then seen the comments and was like OH GOD more things like defcon and others that are on this site... :/

That's only required for multiplayer, which makes sense. The controversy in the other thread is, as noted by BKGaming, the fact that the GOG exclusive Treasure Key unlock code requires you to be on-line to authenticate it.

yup I just skimmed through it and seen all the info. just seeing the internet shit scared me going oh god gog client might be needed to do shit -_- but ugh

If I don't do the online thing, will I be able to get the endless healing potion thingy and other items just by playing the game?

If I cannot, then indeed it is adding new things to the game lock by online DRM

Storm in a teacup

Others who have played the game while it was in Early Access (like Riotact), have noted that the code is essentially a one-use online boost/cheat to grant you some extra items that can be found normally in the game later on.

"in-game account' required. That's a 3rd party account then isn't it? Shouldn't that be mentioned on the page?

I assume you feel this is all a little blown out of proportions, if not I am sorry for misunderstanding your four word response.

While this all may seem like a trivial matter. Right now people have reasons to be concerned about some of GOG's decisions.
Many people want GOG to remain DRM-free, completely DRM-free. That means not having to authenticate ourselves in anyway once we have downloaded the games installer from the site, nor having to connect to the internet to make the game run in any way shape or form.
If the game asks in anyway, if that be for; online authentication, runtime update, server side DLC, or anything else. People have a right to be concerned about the idea. We have the right to be concerned and in reality any gamer who wants to play games years into the future should be concerned. As this sort of activity leaves your game at the hands of the developers/publishers/sales agents.

People including myself are worried about a slippery-slope into completely DRMed games getting onto GOG. Either via malice or lack of focus.
So when a game has an account log in for single player, a server authentication or server side DLC it pushes peoples buttons.
When GOG starts selling any game that has any form of DRM such as need for a publishers account or a server side authentication then they are treading worrying ground.
We have already had a huge problem with Defcon where the game was checking in with a server EVERY time it ran. Which was a problem as the server had banned the general key GOG had the game start up with. This was then expanded upon by a GOG staff member honestly admitting that they knew about it. Yet instead of forcing the developer make a copy truly DRM-free they had just accepted a work around that had the major flaw of your game being turned into a demo copy if you were playing whilst connected to the internet.

So from general gaming point of view this is a very small, first world problem. From a gamer point of view this really is a problem for the long-term. Especially for whether GOG gets our wallets vote.


EDIT:: For clarity, the problem with Defcon should now have been fixed as the developer has released an updated version that installs with a separate launcher for a copy that does not look for the servers authentication.

DRM or not - maybe not.

But if they only way to claim the treasure bonus is to be online via Galaxy, then it's more or less forcing Galaxy instead of leaving it optional as they boast. So, IMO, if it's true you have to use Galaxy to claim the bonus - then that is a slip down the slippery slope.

Read what I posted above, clearly says GOG Galaxy is not needed only a game account which is used for the online component.

Boursin for everyone!
