tfishell: I went ahead and +1'd for posting your honest feelings.

I'm not exactly sure what you're taking issue with, though.

GOG ignoring the forum community? Yeah, as they've grown it's become harder to get responses from the "bluetexts" here at times, because they're so busy in general. (Props to Judas for making time to "complete" the wishlist entries I sent him.) I wish they'd hire a community manager or two, but... (On a side-note, they have 20+ job openings available, especially for Galaxy.)

GOG ignoring the wishlist? Depends. In some cases like Hatred they'll avoid getting the game, often because the game may be buggy or seems low-effort or has been bundled to hell and back. But they're definitely shooting for games high up on the wishlist, especially Good Old Ones not already on Steam, because they represent $$$. BUT often it's AAA publishers who don't want to deal with GOG for one reason or another. GOG got lucky with Dying Light because it's technically an indie! (Both dev'd and pub'd by Techland.)

Good Old Games? We'll be getting Uprising 1 & 2 tomorrow (unless something changed), so if you're interested, check it out.

Some o' my advice: try not to get emotionally attached to this place, it's ultimately a business. ;)

Taro94: What pains me personally is the fact that more and more titles are released with DRMed multiplayer. Dying Light is another one of them.

And before you say that multiplayer needs DRM, because you need internet connection to play (unless it's split screen or shared screen), this is wrong. There are many, many, MANY examples of games (many of them with online components) without multiplayer DRM.

I like to ust Diablo 2 as an example, because it offered open battle.net (user-made servers) in addition to closed battle.net (external servers, but guarantees some protection, since characters are stored online). Not to mention it albo offered LAN and direct connection options! That should be the standard for every multiplayer game - no DRM at all, the game will be playable in multiplayer even if Blizzard pulls the plug.

But what will happen to Dying Light multiplayer (and many other games) wien GOG pulls the plug and is shut down? Well, the multiplayer aspect of this game will be gone forever. Is that what you call DRM-free?

I never buy DRM-ed games and so I won't buy DL either. Unless I find some multiplayer crack that allows me to host multiplayer sessions with no need for connection to GOG servers (via galaxy), but that would be pretty ironic. Pirating a game I bought DRM-free.
