A true RPG design achievement!

Divinity: Original Sin, the epic-scaled RPG from Larian Studios, very modern but also true to the best traditions of computer role playing games design with its isometric view, story-driven gameplay, and top-notch turn-based combat mechanics, is available for Windows and Mac OS X, DRM-Free on GOG.com! You can also enrich your experience with the Source Hunter DLC, that comes with two unique in-game items, a digital artbook, design documents and a full original soundtrack.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/divinity_original_sin][/url]Divinity: Original Sin is the old-school role-playing title you've been dreaming about. If you were ever imagining how the legendary classics like Baldur's Gate would look and feel like, were they developed today, this is your answer! Larian Studios managed to make good on all of their promises of classic gameplay, extensive world, gripping storyline, and flexible system paired with high production value of contemporary double-A titles. With up to a hundred hours of playtime needed to beat the game with all of its branching stories and tons of optional quests the game can prove to be everything you want it to be, and more! It also takes what's best after the modern games: rich and vivid 3D graphics, an extensive item crafting system, and a finely balanced multi-player mode. A perfect mix of classic and new RPG design, if we ever saw one.

Set out to explore the fantastic colorful realm created by Larian Studios, and make a new home for yourself in the vibrant world of Divinity: Original Sin (or even grab some extra Source Hunter DLC gear), on GOG.com. The price of the game varies from region to region, but don't be alarmed! Following the GOG.com tradition we're offering a Fair Price Package with this title, so everyone who is adversely affected by the pricing plan will be compensated with gift-codes (you will find yours in your order confirmation email).

NOTE:
The version of the game offered here comes with the full single-player campaign, but currently supports only LAN/DirectIP multiplayer modes, with on-line multiplayer features coming as a later update, powered by GOG Galaxy, our DRM-Free online gaming platform. Thank you for your patience!

doady: Steam is not the DRM. Steamworks is the DRM.

Anyone who is too stupid to understand this concept needs to stop posting on the internet.
Steam is DRM. Steamworks is additional DRM.

I know you have plenty of guns in canada; go find a nice shotgun, put the barrel in your mouth and spray paint your walls crimson. You're clearly too stupid to continue living on this planet and your toxic presence is only a detriment to human civilization.

Ajaarg: IF your computer has the right dependencies, and IF you don't mind making all of the shortcuts and registry entries yourself, or IF you don't want to actually install patches.

Same pointless argument once again. Steam itself is DRM. GoG installers are not. Simple as that.
Steam does not apply DRM to all games, but STEAM ITSELF IS DRM.

Anyone who is too stupid to understand this concept needs to stop posting on the internet.
If you are tired of this argument, then why do you continue to write about it and indeed start this argument? I haven't had a good argument all day(!!) but for the betterment of others joy, let's rant and rave via PM, both think that we are right, change neither of each others opinions and leave this thread in peace to discuss the joy of D:OS being released here? <3

I'll shut my trap about this one but would happily enjoy sharing all sorts of colourful language via PM if that is your objective as it appears to be :P

I'll bite.

Downloaded Carmageddon: Max Pack from GOG and from Steam, then compared the folders. Results can be found here. Steam is providing you with the exact same files GOG does.

Also, concerning dependencies and registry entries, installscript.vdf (or runadmin.vdf) contain the needed dependencies and registry entries, and the redist folder contains the redistributables. Zipping the folder is enough.

So, what happens with Carmageddon: Max Pack on Steam? Are the files GOG installs DRM'd (since they are the same), or does Steam provide you with a DRM-Free game?

Plus 1 for that, but I tried both the link from the vault and entering it manually with the same result.
Support ticket sent. Wait 24 hours to try again I guess.

It means you are a degenerate sub-paedophile for buying a DRM-free game on a DRM platform, and your entire family should be sent to a gulag until you understand why you are such a moronic degenerate.

I actually agree with the first half of your post, because I have a very severe definition of DRM (which includes being required to install a client that is not part of the game in order to obtain the game or updates). A lot of people aren't as dogmatic as I am in that regard, and consider that once you have the game if it acts DRM-free then it counts as DRM-free.

Unfortunately the second half of your post does you no favours, and indeed reinforces some unfortunate stereotypes about my fellow countrymen, particularly with regards to maturity levels and conflict resolution skills.

Kickstarter reward actually, for helping fund Carmageddon: Reincarnation. But do continue to make assumptions, I enjoy them.

Hell yeah, D:OS is out! Hell yeah, it's a top seller!!

1) The Golden Grail doesn't turn things into gold, they're just turned golden and made more expensive when you sell them!!! =)
2) I think it would really be better to have an own D:OS forum.

Indeed. He's not entirely wrong in that, if you choose to buy many of those supposedly DRM-free Steam games as boxed versions (Super Meat Boy, Crusader Kings 2), you're still forced to jump through the DRM hoop. Sure, you can copy the directory out, effectively circumventing the DRM in the same way as a crack, but ultimately, you are still subject to the same restrictions as any DRM'd boxed game.

And it does get my back up, the way Steam apologists misrepresent Steam DRM, and how they apply the logic of a small minority of already DRM-free games being DRM as somehow being evidence that Steam is not DRM, and that if we therefore believe Steam is DRM, then GOG.com is also DRM. Quite bizarre.

But that's where the similarities between us and him end though. There's no way I could condone the kind of behaviour from him that followed.

Seemed like for a moment there I had somehow ended up on a YouTube comments section. Or Xbox Live.

Apparently Steam users are also sub-"paedophiles" too. Oh man, this thread is turning into a gold mine.

Hang on, I need to get my thesaurus so that I can find at least 20 synonyms for homosexual. I'd hate for every other word of my reply to be the same. ;)

I have great conflict resolution skills: I resolve conflicts through violence. Violence, whether physical or verbal, is the final authority, from which all other authority derives. Some people are just too stupid to live, this is objectively true. These people need to be exterminated. We don't try to reason with vermin, or cancer: we eliminate them, by any means necessary.

This is true whether you are talking about neo-nazis, or capitalists, or console players, or apple users, or steam-apologists. No crime is inconsequential enough to escape punishment.
