This is just a general question for the GOG team.

Are you guys planning on getting Path of Exile (and the coming sequel), to your store? I'd love to play that game here on GOG.

In fact, I plan on integrating all of my future purchases with GOG only. I've been checking to see if GOG has the game I want first before going over to Steam.

Keep up the fantastic work; you'll always have me as a customer.

Isn't PoE on-line only?

It is, which may conflict with a lot of GOG's core philosophies, not that I'd mind having PoE here, but the biggest obstacle to making that happen is the online factor.

It is online only so will not come to gog. Why would you need to go to steam for it? Download the installer direct from the Poe website, exactly the same and you don’t need the intermediary steam.

I actually have downloaded POE from the Grinding Gear Games website.

I was referring to Steam because I'm trying to consolidate all my games into as few game apps, and non-app locations as possible.

Which reminds me, I should mention that I can’t wait for Galaxy 2.0, that app will make my gaming life so much easier.

The main reason I wanted POE on GOG is because I just wanted to give GOG the traffic. What can I say, I’m a nice guy.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I now understand why POE can't come to GOG (which I should have realized). You guys and gals are great!

Be aware that Steam doesn't handle updates to PoE very efficiently, so if you're running it through Steam it tends to take a lot longer to update compared to using the stand-alone client.

No worries. I don’t use galaxy, game manager apps really hold no interest. One of the best thing about, at least to date, is that galaxy is fully optional. I don’t think you will ever get one client for all, each requires it’s own drm, like buying a u is off game from steam needs third party signin (just a guess example, might be different), so even if you “open” something from one you would need others. Embrace drm free and forget game launchers, third party accounts etc.

Also POE has micortransactions for things such as increasing your storage space which is another thing that GOG says no to. Yeah with me I only use Galaxy to update my games since I had issues with the offline update patcher files.

I would wish for an offline version of POE but they built it as an online only game with single/multiplayer function. Maybe if in the future the game dies out, the devs can convert it to an offline game with local multiplayer.

Nah, GGG is owned by Tencent. So no offline version. And mobile version is in preparation.
Garbage.

Philosophies like in Gwent needs drm client software Galaxy to work?

You make a good point, but then again, it IS their own product, so they may be more inclined towards some product nepotism, so to speak.

Whether or not you view Galaxy as DRM is irrelevant though. The point wasn't whether or not GOG has the capacity to have PoE, but whether or not they would bend other rules for products that aren't their own.

That said, if GGG were to ever offer an offline stand alone version of PoE, I'd be all about that.
