I just bought some games on GoG for the first time and they are failing to download. I am in China, do I require a VPN to make GoG work properly?

if you were able to by them without a vpn i dont see why you would need one to play them, since if the games were blacklisted by the country you are in, then you likely would not see them in the gog storefront so far as i know

admittedly i am no expert on such things so i could be wrong in how things like this work

gog support personel are freindly and helpful and i recommend contacting them about the issue if further responce posts here dont help
