wcdeadpool: I just received an answer from the GOG support about the DLC not working without Galaxy. Apparently, they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. ;) I guess it'll probably be fixed very soon!
Oh gee... Should we all hold our breathe? /Sarcasm

Finally an official answer.
But I'm still not happy.
1. Because nobody from gog made an official answer on the forum (we had to wait for you. btw thank you).
1. Because they should remove it from the store (at least the dlc and deluxe verion) while they fix it. Right now they are selling a drm game, and that's not a thing that they can do.

GOG Galaxy 1 can be and has been used as DRM for many, many games here. It's not something to prop up as a customer-friendly feature unless that ever changes, which is highly unlikely. Other than that I agree with your sentiment. I did not know that about Galaxy 2 re: DOS. Addition/bloat of cloud saves/Galaxy features (for 1) have already made it so I do not download updated installers for those DOS games since I know the ones I have *just work* without adding in clients and internet. Which is supposed to be the point of DRM-free.

In the first paragraph of the answer, they respond about the EULA.
And in the second one they talk about the DLC and that they are trying to fix it. I didn't post the complete answer because it's in french, but I'm pretty sure they are working on a hotfix for the season pass ;)

It's a good first step. However, even though this is Saturday, an official statement is yet to be made. The game is still being sold without any warnings at the store page. Yes, the whole covid thing makes things trickier, but GOG is not an indie store anymore, they are quite big and quite capable of addressing users on something so significant as this.

I have already issued a refund request pending an official word from them regarding a fix. If they fix it great, I will cancel the refund request. If more people do this, it will surely grab their attention and (maybe) prevent further incidents like this from happening (this is not the first time and if anything it's getting more frequent). It's also not about doomsday cries and hysteria, as mentioned earlier in this thread, it's about a store selling something they did not deliver (DRM-Free). This was not an "ooops, look at that!" thing, nor is it Squeenix's whole fault, as GOG went to the trouble of wrapping the system calls to bypass some of the game's authentication, so they knew what they were doing.

Regardless of the outcome, what happens after this episode is that every game, from here on, will require community feedback before purchase regarding if it is truly DRM-Free. GOG's word is no longer enough (check their official response here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/dungeon_siege_and_deus_ex_series_now_available_on_gogcom_f6c95/post152).

YES! Thank fuck for that; I would hate for this to be the new GoG normal!
Dungeon Siege III DLC also not working without Galaxy, it seems:

No, the english offline installer is defective missing some files. The german offline installer for example is fine. This is not a Galaxy/DRM issue.

Is not same thing

In case DSIII, it's because the setup missing files
But in french and deutsch, it's workd corretly, without DRM or Galaxy connection
