It's never too late for justice.
And now we realised that Galaxy opened the gates to DRM Hell what would the verdict be.

mqstout: Your frustration is valid, but misplaced. Most people aren't wanting to take your Galaxy away from you. We just want Galaxy to be positioned and used the way it should be*. Instead, many people, who are head-over-heals-in-love-with-Galaxy (somehow) absolutely DO want to take things away from DRM-free gamers.
Does anyone fancy making a cartel complaint? As in, with GOG joining Steam and Epic it feels like they're all forcing launchers to be used for games.

Syphon72: I said if it's free Cosmetics DLC, that's fine. But I'm out once it starts becoming content like story missions or trying to make us pay for the DLC.
That makes sense. I would be mostly OK with that if I wasn't worried that next time it will be something bigger. Plus I don't think it's a great look for a company who claim to be fighting against DRM. That's why I'm so torn about the boycott (which I stopped shortly before the thread was locked and am now considering resuming). I'd hate to lose the biggest DRM-free game store because nobody complained and they slipped further into the DRM or even microtransaction territory (so it's frustrating when people aren't concerned) but I'd also hate to see GOG go bust. I'm not entirely sure the GOG bosses care what the people of the forum do either way though!

This is all GOG's fault for losing users' trust over the hitman fiasco. I would be lying if I didn't think GOG might try something more significant one day. If GOG were going to try forcing DRM, I don't think they would start with minor Cosmetics and free DLC simultaneously. But maybe people are correct, and they're trying to get us used to DRM. We all know you can't trust any corporation. Who knows what crazy thoughts are going through GOG bosses' minds. haha

In my opinion, Just keep buying games that you enjoy and make sure to back them all up. Because if GOG wants to kill itself, at least we will still have all our games.

Little off topic: What terrifies me the most is the future of everything going cloud gaming. Then we truly own nothing at all.

Thank you and everyone else in this thread for sharing your thoughts on the issue.

HappyPunkPotato: Do you consider the extra items as having DRM? If not, why? If so, why aren't you against it? Just wondering about where you stand on the issue.

Seeing DRM as a black and white issue =/= seeing everything as a black and white issue. Bit of black and white thinking going on there :D

Syphon72: I thought you know my stance? Saying everything was bad wording. Late night typing man. Haha

Time4Tea: It is interesting to see people who have been customers of the store for many years and who are making objective complaints about GOG betraying its core promises through specific, deliberate actions being labelled as 'blind haters'.

Personally, I would characterize what the other side is doing as 'blind defense' ;-)

Syphon72: Both statements can be true.

Longcat: "I'm neutral on this subject".

*Continues to post 150 forum posts about why DRM on a DRM-free site is ok.*

Syphon72: Why not actually reply to me? Instead, you add nothing valuable to this thread. Then try mocking me.
I did reply to you. I called out your false statement, where you claimed to be neutral when you are clearly not.

If anything, you mock yourself.

Making the excuse that it's fine & dandy to lock content behind a DRM-gate so long as the content is described as "cosmetic" would still be equally as invalid of an excuse, and equally outrageous, and cause an equally large backlash as is currently happening - and rightfully so - even if GOG never did the Hitman GOTY debacle.

The quoted statement is making it sound like the DRM in Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 would somehow be acceptable if GOG never did the Hitman GOTY debacle. But no, actually, they would still not be acceptable in any way.

I am guessing more than a few people have support tickets in by now.

We all know why: retrospective DRM added to the flagship CDPR game sold by gog who still claim to be 100% DRM free.

I have received an acknowledgement that my support ticket has been received and advised traffic is heavy.

I will be posting in full once I have received a decision from gog and I have no doubt that the response from gog will be a game changer.

I would greatly appreciate it if users could stop bickering about what they think DRM is or isn't and start focusing on one clear principle:GOG CLAIMS TO BE 100% DRM FREE.

I really don't know what's more appalling. CDPR and GOG doing this crap, or the people defending it and mocking the others who make valid complaints.

My statement of being natural is not false. Tell me how im not natural if you know so much? I even suggest people to create tickets to let GOG know they're upset.

I never said that, not sure where you got that conclusion.

paladin181: No, it's bad because it requires activation, and requires further re-authorization to use again. If they're using the website to require authentication every time you want to use items in a new game, then it's no better than any other DRM scheme.
Oh these little cheat bonus items are absolutely DRM'd, I wouldn't say otherwise. I doubt even GOG would say otherwise. They made their stance clear with a statement a while back that like multiplayer that stuff doesn't "count" for their DRM free promise.How angry that makes you is the only question. For me... meh.

Hitman made me angry, and I said so very bluntly, and they reversed course on that which was good.

I don't use Reddit. So I'm shocked by the vibe and seems pretty chill

I don't understand why is this a surprise to anyone - CP2077 "rewards" were locked behind GOG Galaxy in the same way. Just add the items through mods/cheats I guess if you care about this. Bonus items are a waste of space anyway in most cases - new content (quests, stories etc.) would be good, but that would mean actual work rather than rendering a couple of 3d models.

The majority of people who care about this care that there is DRM, not about the items themselves. And I am actually quite surprised they've done it again considering they still pretend to care about DRM-free.

Some time ago someone pointed out what a possible cause for such actions is.
CDPR games still make most money on Steam. That said they want Steam users to have a GOG account, trying to pull them here.

So why not release a extra GOG DRM free version without GOG account?
Apparently Valve has a rule that Steam versions must not be inferior to other versions and other than GOG they are actually able to enforce that rule, meaning that we GOG customers can't have a version that works without an account.
