Time4Tea: No, imo GOG should grow a pair and insist that developers either remove the online requirement, or pull their game from the store. I would like to see GOG taking a zero-tolerance attitude towards DRM and/or any sort of online requirement and pushing for this to be removed from all games, rather than spinelessly appeasing developers with smallprint on the store page.
Yes, they should have the integrity to remove games from their catalogue that don't conform to their 'principle'. In the past GOG has refused many games because they had DRM - even partial DRM was a no-go. But now they have shown that their priorities have changed. DRM-free is no 'core value' anymore. It's just a meaningless marketing slogan. If GOG wanted to return to a '100% DRM-free' principle, they would have to remove NMS and Absolver and the other offenders until the DRM on them is removed.
