StingingVelvet: Again, the Steam version has a blatant "Hello this is SecuROM and we are activating the product now" message.
The retail has no such message.
It strikes me as extremely odd that the retail version would have a stealth online check that runs completely differently from the one on Steam, but I will have to try and install offline to verify.
I'll try to do it when I wake up later today (I sleep days).

Any luck with it?

Sorry, I tend to ignore GOG between releases. Bad of me I know.
I am off today, will do it if I can. Watch this space.

So yeah, it does a stealth "date check" activation.
This is the first time I have seen such a thing, as I said earlier. Retail GTA4 only has a date check but it tells you what it is doing at least.
Anyone know why the Steam version is different then?

Thanks for checking :)
Bioshock 2 is def a no no for me then. It's bad that 2K made their DRM so confusing that people don't realise what it entails.
