mqstout: 1: Except GOG's been encroaching on this. We now have numerous games that are effectively DRMed on GOG that you can't do what you describe (which is precisely why I'm here, by the way). I'm still using GOG, but I no longer can just assume that a game released here will actually be DRM-free. Heck, CDPR released CP2077 with fucking DRM even in the GOG version, the streaky-underwear idiots they are.
If I need to examine every purchase I make under a microscope, what's the real difference, sadly? If they let developers patch DRM in after the fact (like with No Man's Sky -- though that's likely unintentional and will be fixed; it still happened!) How can I trust the company that puts GWENT -- a product that absolutely should never have seen light of day as it has been done and serves no purpose other than to exploit people with its DRM+Microtransaction double-whammy -- updates as headlines?
GreywolfLord: What is this DRM that is on Cyberpunk 2077 on the GoG version? If I need to examine every purchase I make under a microscope, what's the real difference, sadly?

I had ONLY heard that it was Denuvo placed upon copies that went out to reviewers prior to it's release.
I had heard nothing about GOG's version currently on the store having any sort of DRM. What DRM is there?
I was under the impression that you could still download the backup installers and install it independently and offline on a computer if they wished to void of any verification checks and such if one actually wanted to do that.
I'm sure they've removed GTA, too, right?
