Hi,
i recently bought Expedition Vikings.
The game is very buggy and nearly unplayable. But there is a patch that fixes many bugs (v 1.0.3).
Problem:
That patch is avaliable for GOG Galaxy only. But using Galaxy means adding DRM. Without the patch, the game is unplayable (for me at last).
Why I claim that Galaxy is DRM:
A Games ore patches tied to GOG Galaxy cannot be installed without an active GOG account. If GOG is shut down for some reason, all GOG Galaxy games / patches are wothless and cant be installed anymore. For me, this is DRM.
So the question ist:
Do they do that on other games? Meaning: delaying patches?
Where can I see, if a game has an accepteble patch level on the non-DRM-Installer BEVORE buying?
Why the hell are they claiming, Expeditions Vikins is free of online activation? That is a plain lie!
