So you dont need galaxy to play this game, right? People say this game came to gog because of galaxy and the news article about this is very unclear and talkes a lot about playing the game with galaxy (and nothing about playing it without it).. I hope this doesnt mean you need galaxy to play this or any other game. I hope that when you say drm-free you mean without galaxy. I hope this is not some step by step process towards ending or changing the definition of non-DRM. If gog begins to be more and more like steam to get more games then I dont see the difference between gog(/galaxy) and steam.. But I really hope it is not like that and will never be. The news text was just a bit unclear..
Assuming the game is really drm-free I am very happy you get such good known games here and that they will finally be available DRM free. Really nice to see more games I like here, I hope there will be more. :)
(Also one problem is that there is so many ways of defining DRM. Sometimes even games with "just" steam as DRM are seen as DRM-free... But for a game to be truly DRM-free it should be available to play without any programs, codes, verifications, registrations, limits, identifications, internet connections or other control and you should be able to have the real playable game file for yourself. Just like gog has done this far. I think as long as all the games are available to purchase and play this way you can call them and the store drm-free. As long as the programs/drm are optional and you can play the game (also) without it.)
