This is the second-class citizen version!
This GOG version of this Shadow of War game is missing the Achievements feature that is available for this game on the platforms where it originally released (including both PC and console versions). The game developers, and also GOG itself, *should be* giving GOG customers fairness and equality and feature parity in exchange for their money. Yet here, they are not doing so, and instead they expect GOG customers to be happy with a feature-removed, inferior product. This problem could easily be solved by either GOG insisting that the developers add Achievements or else they will delist the game off of GOG, and/or by the developers just deciding of their own volition to give GOG customers feature parity simply because it's the right thing to do. Unfortunately, based on the history of other games that also treat GOG customers like second-class citizens via removing features from the GOG version, both of those solutions are very unlikely ever to happen in reality. Instead, the most likely outcome will be that the developers and GOG will both completely ignore this problem, and therefore leave the GOG version of Shadow of War forever missing a feature that easily could & should be added, if only the developers put in a tiny amount of work in order finally to give GOG customers equal treatment to their customers on other platforms. I therefore recommend that no one buys this Shadow of War game, as buying it just emboldens & encourages GOG and game developers to continue allowing second-class treatment of GOG customers to occur.
