Yes, but every of this shops state that they do sell a steam key. (right next to the game)
Last time I check GOG doesn't state such a thing.

What the OP were thinking is a mystery to me.

Hidden option #4: Ignore. I expected better, to be honest.

How about because if GOG followed standard practice, they'd be no different from any other digital store?

How about because you've been letting me buy things you know I can't use since late 2010?

How about because I'm an adult, you've given due warning, and I want to do it anyway?

How about because I can purchase DLC here without having the base game, I just can't add it to my library and download it? :P

That's my point. GOG doesn't do "the standard", so using it as an argument for doing something rings hollow. If you can go against the standard to offer, DRM-free games, a money back guarentee, support for older games in order to get them to run on modern systems then you can go against the standard and let me add DLC to my library without buying the base game beforehand or at the same time.

How about.. at least 50% of my library? I don't have Windows. I'm hardly quiet about that.

But I could use it, if you let me. Only GOG is stopping me from using it in the exact same way I use everything else I own here.

Exactly, but you knowingly ignore that when it comes to having DRM, so ignore it in this situation too.

Which is completely irrelevant to the question I asked you.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I was posting on the GOG forums, not the Steam forums. I'll see myself out.

Same goes for GOG at least you don't have to log in and install a client to access your games XD

Yes? Why not? You won't let me buy DLC because you won't support it (even though I won't ask you to), so why do you let me buy games you won't support, even though I don't ask you to?

Not a single product I own on GOG is officially supported. No, not even the Linux ones.

And you choose when you exercise those rights, as demonstrated by the OP and by your own admission. It was well within your rights to say "well, you weren't paying attention so tough luck" but you chose not to. Not only was it an unneeded comment (I know what your rights are, I'm trying to convince you to change your terms by illustrating that they are inconsistent with your other terms, not demanding you do), it also comes across as "Well you know what? You can't do it because we say so, end of discussion".


I don't want you to refund me, I want you to let me add something I have purchased to my library. If I need to log a support call to get it done, I don't care. I bought it, I want it in my library.

Only on GOG could you need to argue to have something you have purchased from GOG to be put into your GOG library..

Yes, GOG can, by changing their standard operating procedure, which hasn't ever been in effect for me anyway.

Do you not think it odd that your standard operating procedure:
1) Gives someone who just started using the site, screwed up because they weren't paying attention and probably won't ever buy anything here because they want things on Steam, what they want, but
2) Doesn't give someone who made it a mission to own the entire catalogue, has gifted almost as much as he bought for himself and doesn't ask for support because he is operating outside the system requirement, what they want.

Isn't that a clue that maybe your SOP needs to be changed?

Good god dude, chill out.

I'm fine. If I wasn't chilled out, I would be insulting people :P

It's that fucking monocle. He's been wearing it for way over a year now.

Teh fokuzed raise of teh son 'ave meltid me brian!

Judas, you are killing me here. I appreciate the responses, but surely whatever mobile device you are using has a delete key? No need to quote the previous post in it's entirety and then manually type xyem's responses to reply to them individually.

Funny you'd mention, because just today I thought "damn I wish I had cursor keys in the Android phone, in order to move the cursor step by step, instead of trying to hit the exact spot between two letters with my fat fingers". Or maybe there is, I just don't see it. It would certainly make editing of text much easier.

I am not aware of a delete key either, but Backspace is there. Still, multi-quoting is certainly pain in the ass with these touch devices (this I am writing on the PC though).

Holy cow xD...
Allow me a dramatic interlude:

"- "Glibness" gave me this bonus to my Bluff check. Am I right?
- Yes Johnny, but...
- I rolled a 20 on the check, did I not?
- You did roll a 20, but please con-
- After subtracting the ridiculousness penalty, I have still passed the check. Am I right?
- Yes, but you can't possibly expect...
- I tell the guy I AM THE MOON! According to the rules - he should believe what I say! Prove me wrong!
- Goddamnit, Johnny..."

Now you know why rule 0, "The DM is always right", is in place. To prevent Rules Lawyers from running the campaign into the ground by invoking absolutely true facts, conducting perfectly logical reasonings, and ultimately ending up with entirely aberrant conclusions.

Sure - why shouldn't GOG sell DLC for people who don't own the base game? It's not an obviously wrong or bad thing, there don't seem to be any technical or ethical reasons not to do so. Why then?
I guess that would be because it's an edge case of use, so they haven't really considered it. I doubt it's anything more than that. The thing is - just because you can't see a reason why something shouldn't be done... it doesn't necessarily mean that it SHOULD be done either.
