Wishbone: Given that GOG permits the installation of its games to as many machines as you own, you can implicitly have several people in your household playing the same game at the same time with only a single purchase from GOG. With DRM-free multiplayer, those same people could be playing the game online against each other (legally mind you, given GOG's terms), which would be impossible with DRM'ed multiplayer.
bruceFish: The criticism is about games which offer multiplayer only through Galaxy. This means that you can not play the multiplayer once you lose your GOG account (or GOG gets bankrupt). And yes, although you can install your games on as many machines as you want, I'm pretty sure that you can't use the Galaxy multiplayer on multiple machines at the same time. That's because games using the Galaxy API don't work with IP addresses but with PlayerIDs. Maybe GOG's intention was not to add DRM to their games, but in fact they did.
. I made no mention of Galaxy, or how any specific game implements multiplayer. My post did not adress or relate to any criticism put forth in this thread.
