Another question Judas, you talk about auto update, but will the game have manual update to avoid install Galaxy ?

BillyMaysFan59: Well this is a relief, thanks. :D (I never commented on that previous thread, but I was getting quite concerned)

One question: GOG Galaxy will still be optional when it comes out, right?
I'm assuming it will be necessary for multiplayer that's not Direct IP or LAN, but nothing else.

Thanks Judas and the GOG Lords. Your customer responsiveness remains creditable.

JudasIscariot:
I just can't understand why anyone would think missing out on a fairly big Day 1 release that was advertised across gaming news sites, previously advertised as being available on GOG as well, was anything resembling a good idea. O.o

I mean, good that it's actually coming out. After the missed publicity.

thanks

JudasIscariot: We'd like to make sure that our reasons for delaying Divinity: Original Sin are clear. The game has multiplayer features to play with friends online. In the future, we will be supporting such multiplayer features in new games thanks to GOG Galaxy (and bringing you more games along the way), however, as of today we do not provide multiplayer backend and components for games.

We did not believe it would be fair to offer you a version of Divinity: Original Sin that does not include these features, we also, without a doubt, underestimated the number of people who would want to play the game regardless. We wanted to make sure that the GOG.com community gets the complete Divinity: Original Sin experience.
Guys, your voices have been heard. We have to admit that we should have done it differently!

We will release Divinity: Original Sin in the next few days. We are working on the Windows version of the game right now and waiting for the Mac build to arrive. The version of <span class="bold">Divinity: Original Sin</span> that will be available for sale, will be complete content-wise, and will allow for local/direct-IP multiplayer, but will come without the online matchmaking component and game auto-updating, which will be introduced as a later updates.

Please bear with us and sorry for not providing full explanation in the first place.
Honest and open communication wins the day again.

I'm detecting a pattern here ;)

Yes, it will be optional. But if you ant to play multiplayer without it, you are limited to LAN or direct IP, which btw is still okay in my mind.

Thanks. This post gave me fresh faith in GOG and encouraged me to start doing it again. :)

Good news, for sure. But I don't understand how the original decision could have been made in the first place. Did GOG staff really think it was a good idea to delay a game for two months when it was available at a competing site right now?The multiplayer functionality is still there, just not as convenient as it would be with a client.

As far as patching goes, sure auto patching is easier, but is Larian not going to update the DRM-free GOG version of this game that backers got? If they are, then I don't see the issue with patching the GOG version for non-backers. If they aren't but they're patching the Steam version, then Larian's gonna have some 'splainin' to do.

If you had stated any of this up to and before yesterday, there would have been disappointment, but not outrage. You turned a stumble into an epic faceplant. :)

good news :D
thank you gog

Can you please clarify the possibility of the Linux version? Larian are working on it, and wrote that it should be released relatively soon. Can GOG guarantee that it will appear here once you'll start selling Linux games later this year?

Thank you for listening to our grievances and acting on them. Many triple a studios would have simply ignore us.

Looking forward to purchasing Divinity original sin when you release it.
