I'm trying to understand what's going on whit this game, as most of the reviews contradict what is stickied, and in the page does not says anything.
Easy question: Is this game 100% DRM-Free? What's going on with the multiplayer? How's that there is no visible information on the webpage?
For what I understand, you have no (non-local, same computer) multiplayer if you don't use Gog Galaxy, as the multiplayer is managed through the Galaxy client. This means that you need Gog Galaxy, thus you need connection to the service, thus you have a Steam-Like DRM step, thus saying "100% DRM-Free, basically, is incorrect". And I don't really get how's that there are really visible alerts for games with CD-Keys and nothing on this topic.
Am I right? Can I play with another friend in the same room (Different computer) or in a different device without having to use the client?
I'm a bit worried about this topic, as basically the reason for what I get my games through Gog is the DRM-Free policy, and I don't really want to research each game individually to see if there's some kind of validation, request or "call to home" on the process of starting a game or installing it. IMHO, is something that is against what has made Gog a great service and against the basics of usability for the (small, let's face it) sector of the public who don't want their games tied to a third party server.
