I was reading an article about the recent WB games being in GOG now via Gamespot, when I noticed in the picture was appears to be an icon for a friends type system between the account button and the cart button, is that going to be part of the My Account update coming? Most be getting close to being rolled out then...

Nice find. Worrying for someone who is going to avoid everything Galaxy related, but thanks for linking.

Interesting.

Wonder what it will mean on the website? Show you what people are playing Galaxy? Or just whether they are online?
Very interesting, I'm sure having "friends" or not is entirely optional. It's not see things moving along in general around here though.

Might I ask why your avoiding Galaxy? Just curious since I'm in the alpha and I like it a lot.

I've already been locked out of one "drm-free" game purchased here. I have no use for multiplayer or automatic updates. I just want to play my gogs...

I don't even use the installer.

Well I can honestly say I've never been locked out of any of the 58 games I have installed via Galaxy online or offline but I see Galaxy not being that important if you don't care for such features as automatic updates or MP. Thanks for the explanation.

Locked out how, exactly ?

I'm sure you would have to request them or they would have to request you in which you could deny or accept them... that normally how these type of systems work anyway.

It was the Witcher Adventure Game. It phoned home when I installed (on launch day, they since tinkered with it) and I was using an inferior connection and it couldn't update Galaxy and the game couldn't be played. Left a pretty bad taste.

There are more reasons, that was just off the top of my head. I don't have internet at home by choice. I don't really want any clients in my life. The tax software my firm uses just went to a client and it's just a total shitstorm. I made one purchase on gamersgate, realized I needed their client to download, and never went back. Don't use Steam.

I may be persuaded one day, but everyone's going to have to do a lot of unpersuading first. :)

I remember that now, they did fix it though really quickly if I remember right. Mistakes happen, so I wouldn't hold it against Galaxy because of an annoying bug.

Anyone worried about that should note all Galaxy games that need it for multiplayer have a offline shortcut available that bypasses Galaxy completely so you don't have to grab the updates or whatever for single player. Stuff like that shouldn't happen if you use the offline/regular GOG shortcut.

I get that, I don't generally care for them either... but Galaxy has been great for me and my GOG collection was getting out of hand. To many games to keep track of and updated.

There would definitely be benefits for me. My collection has now gone over 800 and I have over 80 updates waiting. That lets you know how much that WAG thing pissed me off. :)

But I don't want auto updates either - those tend to break things. For example, the newest Witcher 1 installer is unusable on my rig where the game is currently installed. (The newest version changed Mac OS requirements.)
