MysterD: About the PvP - this is why games with skirmish-style competitive modes over maps should have offline support for maps and bots/AI.

The PvP stuff and content just wouldn't go entirely to waste, if this stuff was actually made to work also offline and also had real LAN/TP-ICP support.

Just let the player decide if they want to play online w/ others or offline with bots - you know, like Q3A does. It's a shame when games like say the COD's that come out every year later go to the graveyard b/c the new game's out and nobody's playing the old stuff. It's why we need more TP-ICP support added later for skirmish modes and also offline skirmish mode support, for when a game's MP goes dead - as players can still enjoy that content even w/ bots if nobody else is playing it online.

I'd love to have seen say BioShock 2 get that competitive MP mode made to work offline with bots.

wormholewizards: Single player only? Good, at least people won't complaints about DRM & Galaxy.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: Sure they will, and rightly so. I and others already have lodged such complaints earlier in this thread.

This game should be having Galaxy Achievements just like it also has Steam Achievements.

And at the very least, it should also have Galaxy-only multiplayer, rather than to have its multiplayer functionality be entirely removed, and then GOG customers get sold a gimpy version of the game, spin-doctored as if it being gimped for GOG is a "good thing," by misleadingly attempting to frame the gimping in a positive light by calling it "Single-Player Edition," rather than "Gimped Edition" or "Castrated Edition" or "Feature Removed Edition" or something along those lines which would accurately reflect the fact that it is an incomplete, inferior, parity-lacking version.

Blastprocessor42: I hope that means there's a chance that GOG will patch the LAN back in.
I understand not having online multiplayer, but I'd like to have LAN in the game before I buy it.

UCrest: If for you a version without multiplayer is a neutered version, then it seems to me that GOG is not your game shop. There you have Steam, Origin, UPlay, among others. I don't know why some gamers are so obsessed with all this multiplayer, LAN, etc. stuff. It seems to me that they are asking too much from a title that was released in 2011 with an engine that is owned by Valve and was designed for STEAM. If they want the multiplayer options on Steam you'll find them. It's as simple as that. For me to see a title like E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy on GOG after a decade is a very welcome and appreciated miracle.

And I'm looking forward to one day seeing the single-player version of Half-Life 2 on GOG, or the neutered version as you call it. And on that day I will also celebrate with great joy.

Alexim: Can we stop pushing the idea that GOG is the dumping ground or graveyard for games?

If even GOG users perpetuate this association of ideas, I'm not surprised that even developers and publishers treat us the way they do, since we play the part of bums who pick up every piece of trash in worship of the supreme masters who deign to give us their scraps.

tfishell: If you desperately want Steam-like features, buy on Steam.

Blastprocessor42: In what world is basic LAN play a Steam-like feature? If anything that's the opposite of a Steam-like feature.
Everything multiplayer on PC used to have LAN modes before Steam got the vendor lock-in ball rolling with Steamworks.
