StingingVelvet: I have absolutely no sympathy, compassion, or ability to connect with my fellow individual. I can only find critique with something if it directly impacts me negatively. Even with politics, I enjoy finding a pragmatic, middle ground, especially when the passionately debated topics are things like "certain classes of people should even be allowed to exist".

mqstout: I have given your long post a tl;dr as a quote. You'll probably say that's not at all what you meant to sound like, but it is exactly how it was received by your fellow forum-goers.
I don't agree with StingingVelevt either but you are going too far. That is not his quote, you should retract straight away.

Dude we're debating video game DRM on a forum, and I have a firm opinion on it, and that's that. We're not talking about war and racism here, it's not that big a deal. I'm sorry GOG are focusing more on the client and you hate clients, that sounds like a bummer, but I can only care so much about how it effects your emotional state.

mrkgnao: While I respect your opinion, I find it mildly condescending that you can read through hundreds of posts across numerous threads where many goglodytes have vented their frustration for days and months about these issues and not consider it "genuinely upsetting".

StingingVelvet: It's not condescending to disagree on what's upsetting in this world. If you just mean the way I write, well... my style is my style, some people see it that way. No personal insult is intended. However I'll point out that usually any stance on DRM that doesn't fit perfectly into the extreme stances some take on here tends to be treated as insane heresy, which might not be the nicest thing in the world either.

When people are passionate about things they tend to convert that into rage, judgment, hate, etc. Just look at our political discussions right now in the West. I always try and take a pragmatic and middle-ground view, that's just who I am. I don't see clients as DRM, in fact I'd go so far as to say clients are objectively not DRM on their own, but since I like to compromise I'll agree some come here to avoid clients and it's a shame GOG is pushing Galaxy more and more. I just don't personally care, and you can't make me care, ya know?

Galaxy is still new. It's still in open beta, makes sense there pushing it more and more. I only use Galaxy to download my offline installers, so GOG hasn't changed much for me. A lot of the games people claim have DRM are over exaggerating. The games are still playable without Galaxy. Sorry about my grammar I'm dyslexic

Yup, I use Galaxy to download the offline installers for older stuff, and I use it normally for newer stuff that is really large in file size or will have frequent updates (like Cyberpunk). You get the best of both worlds that way, and when it makes sense you can download a final backup offline installer for the newer games too.

Only buy finished games, which aren't updating anymore and don't have in-game market for real money.
