You're the one who felt the need to include yourself in my "we", anyway, dude. It was clear to any competent reader that the "we" I was referring to was the people who've turned against GOG's business practices and bitch about it in their forums. (Because we were asked, in a question directed at a collective "you", why.) Since you're not a member of that class, you're getting (incredibly) butthurt over literally nothing. Get help.

Well, before I go running into my safe-space, to cuddle myself for days (and maybe never come out) over this traumatic news, what is your source? I haven't seen that - but admit to being concerned about it.
"We" don't think I need help, so therefore "we" aren't going to get help. "We" suggest you get that help you need. "We" think you are the butthurt one.

For some reason, you have this idea that "we" refers to everyone in the thread, on the site, or perhaps even on planet Earth. This is not so. "we" is a collective first person pronoun that can refer to any collection of entities that includes the speaker. I hope this helps.

But GOG is still DRM-Free at this point in time. All single-player/non multiplayer component games sold here are forced off-line. People will be surprised at how some of the single-player games, that they might take for granted and happily playing offline, have double authentication verification on steam (like Galactic Civ 2 and Tropico 4, for instance), but that is stripped away here.

Unless you are claiming multiplayer or co-op is DRM. But that isn't, as there is no magical way to play with other people without connecting to the internet. Until such technology arrives, then it's unfortunate. If you mean, GOG should not sell games that offer co-op or multiplayer, that will result in a lot of good games being missed that have fun single player an audience might like. The single-player part must be offline, of course

Which is why No Man Sky's is interesting, because I've been hearing conflicting reports that "No Man Sky's" single-player is only playable online a'la Diablo 3 due to being able to randomly meet people or something, but others are saying that if you wish to play single-player, it will be fully offline.

I still believe is the latter though, because if it's the former, that would be a 360 degrees heel turn from DRM-Free. I would also be glad if someone could confirm about this too.

It's also stripped away by pirate groups, along with multiplayer restrictions. Even WoW can be played on a private server with the power of piracy. All I want is to get at least as good a product as I'd get from pirates when I pay actual money to a legitimate publisher. That's literally all.

I doubt it.
If internet was mandatory for playing NMS like it is with Elite Dangerous, it would be listed in the system requirements. And if that was the case, i don't think gog would have accepted the program.

And some old news:

And here:

"You Don't Have to be Online to Goof Around

Finally, some players may feel irked by certain games requiring a consistent online connection (for example, Destiny), but No Man's Sky won't have this limitation. Hello Games already confirmed that the game will be fully playable both offline and online, so you can goof around"

Because this has potential to be one of the biggest games of the year. While it's an indie game, it is probably one of the most ambitious games ever made.

There are also single-character stuff higher up in the unicode table, like "Angry Face", but GOG doesn't support those.

Can't wait for this game and though I know you don't "have" to be online. Would playing this offline make you miss out on much? Cause it's only 60 bucks for me here, over the 90 I be paying on steam.

After putting over 180 hours into GRAV on Steam, an open world sci-fi survival crafting game, I'm really not seeing why No Man's Sky is better. It has less content, less game mechanics, and doesn't look any better than GRAV.

GRAV? What's that short for?

You would not be able to acquire data that online players share (animal races and places they have named), but that's still only a miniscule part of the whole. I would assume, though, that both the GOG and Steam releases have the option of playing on- or offline.

From everything that's been described so far, the answer seems to be no. You won't miss much.

While I have no idea, I can link you to its steam page and web site.

A sidenote though, the Swedish word "grav" means "grave".

EDIT: I can make something up though: gigantic radio-active vagina.

Just spending 5 minutes looking at GRAV tells me one thing. It's rust but in space.Which isn't really a bad thing, but anyone that has played rust knows the type of people in there. No Man's Sky looks awesome cause I can go around doing my own thing without fear of a group of idiots griefting the living crap out of me.

Honestly they look like two completely different games anyway. One is more for pvp, the other isn't. Why you even compare the two is beyond me.
