I guess the real question is, do YOU believe that it conflicts with the following statements in any way (even though others on GoG.com may, in your opinion, already conflict with them):

---

(1) DRM-free games

Forget activations or malicious DRM - every game on GOG.com is 100% DRM-free

You buy it. You own it. 100% DRM-free.
DRM, also called copy protection, tries to control you and your games. We don’t believe in that - all of the games on GOG.com come without any DRM at all!

Download, reinstall, or backup without limits
While you can always redownload your games off the GOG.com cloud, you can also install them on all your computers at home or back them up onto a DVD or spare hard drive. No limits!

---

If you do believe there is a conflict with that statement, then you might answer:
Yes, if you are ok with that description being changed to a new one (which would not conflict)
or
No if you do not wish the description to be changed.

If you do not believe there is a conflict with that statement, then you can probably safely answer Yes because it is in line with what GoG says the site is about.

Ultimately, each person should decide on how the game coincides with the statement on GoG.com's front page. Some people may believe that it does not because they only feel single-player should apply, while others may believe it does because they feel all aspects should apply. REGARDLESS of current offerings, since it's possible they may already conflict with these statements, in your opinion...

Maybe that makes things a big easier for people, thinking about it that way :-) maybe not..

It's a good start. Thanks.

What we'd probably need is to open up a thread and ask people who've bought various games recently whether it has a key or not.

I'm not sure exactly when the feature to add the key in your library was implemented, but it would have to be after that.

I'm guessing anything that was bought in 2013 has it.

I don't know if you read it wrong but when a game has an optional DRM feature for MP, for me it measn it has a strong SP to help with people who don't play online. This game has none SP. And yes people can mention UT which I played a LOOOOOOOT when I was a kid againts bots all the time but it did had some kind of SP campaign, no interesting story at all but it had the option for a campaign.

This game doesn't even have the smallest effort on that, Just throw some maps and an AI that we don't know how smart or fun it is to play againts and thats it.

The DRM-free aspect of GOG has never been a big attraction for me, I like you guys because of your awesome catalogue and your conscientious attitude to your customers, and because you've always made me feel like I'm buying from hardcore gamers rather than some businessmen that don't care about the quality of their products.

Bring it on, the game looks great!

I was under the impression that the reason GOG came to be was 30-something people with nostalgia glasses and disposable income. The older games working on newer OS is a service (that I prefer to pay for instead of trying to get them working myself), and the DRM free is (for better or worse) just a bonus.

So, as long as they keep getting games that I can play single-player or in LAN, without needing to ask permission from a 3rd party, I don't care what that game may be, be it a 1980s game, a 1990s game, a 2000s game or a 201x game. If the publisher wishes to request permission, let him request permission somewhere else.

As to how much time that takes? I'll hazard a guess of 5 work days, and if the poll returns true, it will allow newer games to be sold here, and newer games are easier to set up for sale than old ones (since most work out of the box).
If the community says no, then those games won't appear here, and GOG spent 5 days (which I still doubt it's that much) to prevent itself from doing a blunder. In my opinion, time well spent.

Since there is Lan/direct connect then the answer is yes.

Heroes of Might and Magic V was the first game with automatic CD-key system if I recall correctly. I know I bought it a bit after release and I do have a key for it, without asking.

If it has a flexible skirmish mode with AI players, then it has single player.

Some beloved turn-based strategy games from the past were like that: No campaign mode, just skirmishes on randomly generated maps.

Actually, in many strategy games, the campaign mode annoys the heck out of me, because the story is lame and the campaign acts as an overdrawn tutorial, putting heavy restrictions on what you can build and relaxing the restrictions at turtle pace.

I can see something like Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity being used as a example (to a extent) because there's no single player campaign-it's all skirmish and MP vs people/AI and requires a unique key to be able to play online. Point 2 also meets this game as well. This is just one other example of a possible game coming to GOG outta this

Eh, do you recall what UT's single player was? A series of matches to win, to be crowned champion or something. How is that different from a set of 30 skirmishes, in 3 game modes?

Not to mention that the Galaxy Attack (or however it's called) is also available for single player.

This post is made of win (well no conference is maybe a sad thing but let's stay positive ;) ).
Outside of a few specific Dev groups GOG is just about the only thing in gaming currently which has earned some solid trust/benefit of the doubt from me. It's the only place I can come to buy a game and just read about the game rather than read about all the BS usually attached to contemporary gaming to make sure whether or not I'll even be able to play the game without supporting toxic business models.

Thank you GOG for being a cut (or several) above the standard, for being a place ethical and responsiveness enough that I don't regret getting my extended family set up with accounts here :)

Cheers,
Legion

I had to go with no myself. Sure, the whole third party account thing is optional, but then if you choose not to take that option you end up with a limited game - there is no single player campaign but there is a multiplayer persistent galaxy wide war campaign.

I see some have mentioned activation keys in comments to games already here on GOG, but my understanding is that they are just unique keys to prove you have a legitimately purchased game and that they don't bind to any accounts or machines or anything like that. Please let me know of any games here on GOG if this isn't the case for them.

The persistent galaxy wide thingy can also be played in single player, though obviously you are the one saving it. 2 posts here already mentioned it, and linked to the Kickstarter update mentioning it. Can dig it up if you want me to.

You should read the post completely before you reply, I don't mind new games heck I was all forward Indie games.
The problem here is this is not a 100% DRM free game, and those 5 days could have been spend on another classic or a new game DRM-free.

And to think DRM was a bonus? Dude I'm sorry but 3 years ago almost 4 now I think when I got to GOG for the first time the only thing I saw was DRM free DRM free DRM free, Google gog and it appeared everything between DRM's and DRM conflicts and all DRM so to think it just a bonus is wrong. GOG was receaved different from others digital distributors because of two concepts, classic games and DRM-free. This game has none of those two.
I know what you mean by not having a campaign but we are not in those times anymore in other words there is no limit to what they can do to the game. I just see the SP on this game as a poor effort unless the AI is smarter than your average RTS player and it has plenty of maps to not bore me.
