Topic: DRM free for everything?

Body: Is every game on GOG DRM free, are they linked to it in any way for friends lists and the like? Just curious as I was reading some posts on others moving from here to GOG and wanted to know the deal.

...What?

Your thread title makes no fucking sense...

As for the games, yes, all DRM-Free.

As for friendlist and similar client feartures, there is a thread for GOG Galaxy , but it's completely optional as opposed to Steam's client (which is why I don't know the exact details, as I've never used it :P )

He screwed up the title of the thread. If you want, you can ask the staff to change the thread title. Just find one of the blue guys and send them a PM.

What?! :/

Nothing!

GOG vs Steam... YAY!!! More of this nonsense! YAAAAAY!

Every single game on GOG is DRM-free, at least for its singleplayer. In examples that need account activations or an account on a service or what not, GOG will tell you in the store page of the game.

Linking games to friendlists is possible via GOG Galaxy, and you can see which friends are playing what games through either GOG Galaxy or the chat here. The best part about GOG Galaxy is that you never have to install it in order to play.

There are many other reasons why people choose to stay here instead of going to the smelly land of Steam, but I think that does what you initially asked for.

Is this what you're looking for:

I like pie.

Apple pie:)

Short answer is that all of the games on GOG are DRM-free.

Long answer is that 1000 people have 1000 completely different definitions of what DRM actually means, and there is no official globally agreed upon unambiguous definition used by the entertainment industries or otherwise. As such everyone makes up their own definition of what DRM means and there are people that will claim if a game doesn't use the color purple for anything that that is a form of DRM, or that if they can't redefine the keyboard layout so that "H" is the "inventory" key in their RPG instead of the "I" key, that that is a form of DRM. So you're going to get 1000 different answers plus a good chance of a lengthy debate about what is and is not DRM with nobody being right or wrong about it since there is no unambiguous definition.

Having said that, the games here are DRM-free under GOG.com's own definition of what is or is not DRM, and they do not have any customer visible official definition of what that actually means. As such, you will have an opinion about what is and is not DRM yourself based on your own perceptions and that may or may not align with GOG's undocumented definition so if you have a rather strict definition of what you believe DRM means then you'll have to research it on a game by game basis for yourself by looking through the store game pages for each game and asking a lot of questions about each one, possibly searching the forums to see if anyone has made DRM related complaints about anything and reading what they say and whether you agree with them or not.

That's about as short and simple as it can get I believe. :)

Hm, is this the official start of the annual derailing games?

Ey, yu leek hot piss of pee?

Thanks for the answer, I know it took me a while to get back here b/c of DaS xD but this is good b/c I was unaware that DRM was so ambiguous. I am a little confused as to why people are getting all upity in this post, if I said something that was anti-anything I apologize. I'm looking for a gaming community that isn't as...venomous as the steam community but I guess it's not much different here :*(
