Would love to see this on GOG, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Hate Steam, wish it wasn't such a popular client, support DRM free on GOG!

I would LOVE to see (and buy) Torchlight 2 on GoG!

fuzzknuckle

Would love to see it here, but too bad it looks like Runic's commitment to DRM-free was hollow in the end.

Halcaeon

Hoping GOG picks this one up. I refuse to support Steam and its army of clones. >:P

UncleLijiah

I'm waiting for it...waiting......waiting....

VoidVariable

IIRC, Online Multiplayer only requires a Runic account. No account needed for LAN. I love this game and I hope it gets approved.

bouncedk

I HATE Steam. Want this on GOG.

mistermumbles

Still crossing my fingers for an eventual GOG release. It's been out long enough that a DRM-free version shouldn't be an issue, although I suspect that multiplayer will require some sort of registration.

LaithArkham

Komiyan, GOG has already announced they are not exclusively focusing on old games, and have chosen to branch out into newer-ish + indie territory. (That transition began a while ago.) Old games are still being added to the catalog, but it is no longer correct to say GOG is just "for old games."

Komiyan

You can find this on steam. GOG is for OLD games, why are they adding NEW games? It seriously lags the shit out of the dev process as old games must be ported, new ones simply work by default.

TrueMrReset

I was very disappoted, as TL2 was released, because it has DRM incorporated. If it's released here at GoG.com, I will buy it instantly!

neumi5694

There are other DRM free versions around, so piracy should not be a concern. I hope it comes soon, I wait for the GOG version. If runic does not want to release it here, I will probably just pass.

Ganni1987

Runic stated they won't be making a gog version since release due to piracy concern HOWEVER, seeing that 3 months have passed since release and also the first one is already here I guess we can expect TL2 somewhere this new year. I'd be happy to own a DRM free version.

mistermagic

I'm really looking forward to see this game on GOG. I so much loved the first, and I'll wait until I see my wish fulfilled (STEAM will never see my money...)

Immoli

@ripelivejam Aw, someone upset that there is someone who doesn't like sucking on the cock of their favorite developer? Go fuck off. What that guy decides to do with THEIR money is none of your concern.

ripelivejam

@doady overreact much? shouldn't your righteous bile be saved for someone who slightly more deserves it i.e. blizzard? btw you're being an immature piece of shit.

I already own a copy but would purchase it again for a version without the activation limit. Requiring a unique serial is fine for multiplayer but without any way to de-activate/authorize an already activated copy it's easy to reach that 10 install limit - in my case on the *same* machine (through drive upgrades and formats).

doady

LOL, the reason for the lack of a GOG version is piracy? Runic Games won't be getting any of my money then, not now, not ever. Fuck them.

bombshelboy

Will buy if price is competitive...in fact, I won't ever buy anything on steam

Hoshino

I bought TL1 on GoG and enjoyed it, so I eagerly await TL2 here.

neumi5694

doh, forget my previous post :) This was a link to the first part. But the 2nd one is also avaiable without Steam there.

neumi5694

Well, I am a fan of gog.com, but I am about to order this at http://torchlight.perfectworld.com/for 15$ ... any news on a gog release?

Sashh

TL2 needs to be on GOG DRM free ASAP.

msapozhn

I do occasionally download games but when love a game, I will buy its sequel. Torchlight was a delight, so please, GoG, take my $20!

MihaiHornet

@ZarethKnyght Not to mention that so far the version purchased from Runic is patched exclusively thru the launcher, no standalone patches available yet.

MihaiHornet

@ZarethKnyght No, it's not, you get a key which you use to activate Torchlight 2 online. You have 10 activations per purchase.

ZarethKnyght

Torchlight 2 is pretty much DRM free anyway from what I understand. If you get it through runic games instead of Steam anyway.

MihaiHornet

So far, the non Steam version of Torchlight 2 updates automatically thru launcher, most likely only for legit copies. Stand alone patch is not available yet. Which means one more layer of "protection" and not exactly gog ready. But, in a couple of years, Runic might release the final version of Torchlight 2 on gog, eventually. They would be really stupid not to do it.

Ganni1987

Voted for future reference, I understand Runic's stance on the piracy issue. But as has already been said the game is already cracked and available. pen_sq is right about the best friend comment. But that doesn't mean the game would be at a complete loss. Here's an example below. Put it this way: 1. Runic puts game on gog > 1 customer buys it and passes it on to his friend = Profit from 1 person. 2. Runic doesn't put it on gog > no customers buy it and both them and their friends pirate it = No Profit at all. Unfortunately there will always be piracy. Honestly I prefer if the game was available on gog.

Immoli

@Fake_Sketch I had emailed them with both a SS of the game being available to pirate (showing DRM is worthless) and a SS of this when it had about 100 or so less votes on the 21st along with telling them people were waiting until it was DRM-free to purchase it. "Hey thank you for the email. We do appreciate your feedback. All the best" Was their response. I don't think they care.

Fake_Sketch

Everyone, send mails to runic.

Phaidox

@pakokonka The reasoning behind their decision is simply ridiculous. Steam DRM is completely and utterly useless, the game has already been cracked. Good job Runic, keep punishing legit customers.

pakokonka

If what seattleandrew said is true, then it's their loss, I'll only buy it here in GOG.

gogskel

Okay, Torchlight 2 is about to be released via Steam and other services. I hope gog.com managed to be among them? I don't expect a lower price or anything, but Steam-free is SUCH a great motivator to buy it for me. Plus, I'd probably love the goodies. Whaddaya say, gog.com?

Blarg

I'd pay a premium price for a non-DRM version, if they'd sell it to me. Something like 10 to 20 dollars, no problem. That would still make it no more expensive than many new games, and it wouldn't ruin their regular price point for customers who wouldn't want to pay as much. Think of it as risk management, Runic. There's always a risk, but then again you get your reward up front. And let's face it, every DRM gets cracked anyway. Which is riskier, taking the free-money, pure-profit premium and making extraordinary profits one transaction at a time, or discounting the fact that people can get your DRM'ed game for free anyway if they really wanted to ... and selling them nothing? Or nothing until years from now when the price has dropped in half and it's too late for one sale to lead to another by word of mouth?

pbaggers

I understand their concerns. The possibility of this will coming out on here a year or two later is good enough for me, anyway.

darkwoof

Aww... Saw seattleandrew's comment about his dialog with Runic Game and I'm sad. =( Nowadays I very much prefer getting my games on GOG rather than Steam or any other place. If fact, I've gotten the GOG version of games even if I still have working copies on discs or Steam, just to slowly convert my games library over. Heck, even if GOG sells Torchlight 2 for a slightly higher price, so long it's DRM-free and comes with full goodies, I'd still get it here!

pen_sq

Let's be realistic. A lot of customers are not going to tell their best friend that they have to go buy their own copy, and download the bit-exact installer that you have right here, before joining in on a multiplayer game. Buying a game for full price on day 1 for is an impulsive thing to do, and that same impulsiveness also brings temptation, from sharing bought copies to outright piracy. Every economic equation screams at developers to not go DRM free, and we're not going to change that overnight. GOG started by making the case with ancient games that "some sales are better than nothing". The GOG ideal has moved up the ladder by showing devs that we are a more valuable market than dumping $5 cardboard sleeved disks at Big-Mart. If GOG could show the world that releasing here makes more money than Starforc'ing a 1/4 price GOTY reprint, every publisher would be beating down the door. Maybe a compromise platform could be reached, where DRM is used for the first year or two, but must be removed after that.

Marie99

I would really like to see Torchlight 2 on gog for drm free download too!

seattleandrew

I spoke with the guys at Runic Games during PAX about Torchlight 2 coming to GOG.com. Although their answer is understandable, it's still a little disappointing. They basically said that they're too afraid of piracy to release Torchlight 2 on GOG.com immediately. In the future they'll look to releasing it on GOG, but they said that'd be a year to two after the release on steam. Although it's nice to ask GOG about getting torchlight 2, it may be even more helpful if you email Runic Games and let them know how much you want to see a DRM-Free version.

Shamaho

If I see it on GOG I'll pick it up in a heartbeat, anywhere else though I might wait for a sale.

eispfogel

i want to buy it here without DRM! Please make it happen :)

neumi5694

Yup, I would love to buy it here. GOG is my favorite reseller, it's just a shame that I already own many of the new releases. Release it and do so quickly :)

mcenal

Shaddup and take my money for this game already! ;) Really want to get this game on GOG. I don't like steam as much.

Radical_Genie

Guys, this site is called good OLD games. Torchlight II hasn't even been released yet.

oldschool

Well, we have Torchlight on the site. Hopefully it will arrive here asap.

Megacyclo

Getting Torchlight II here would be nice.

rockyoubaby

I can't wait to buy it on GOG!

srkelley5

I don't like spending money but I'll be happy to convert my whole Steam list to GOG (the games that I actually play anyway).
