zeroxxx: Letting friend to play on your PC isn't GOG ToS violation. Rather than debating, go call GOG and ask for verification to see how idiotic you are.
It is a shame that some people really lost their ability to read and comprehend: I would suggest you read what HE posted to what I replied before calling somebody an idiot and just proving the opposite.

sherringon456: They can control your access to that part of the game unless it is completely private server based (Which I concede isn't inherently DRM.) so multiplayer using the publisher's servers (Even if it doesn't require authentication.) is inherently DRM.

clarry: And my point is that requiring the use of the publisher's servers is not inherent to multiplayer. For MMOs, it might be a reasonable decision, but for nearly all other games with online functionality, it only serves to control (restrict) the players.

sherringon456: DRM-free single player + Authentication requiring Multiplayer = DRM-Free

clarry: DRM-free single player + DRM rigged multiplayer = Not a fully DRM-free game.

If I want to play multiplayer, and the DRM gets in the way, you can't explain it away while claiming the game is DRM free.
Multiplayer isn't necessary to enjoy a game. The game is still DRM free since it can be enjoyed with NO drm.
You're at fault for not reading before that you needed to register an account or w/e you're complaining about.

You obviously have no idea how game servers work and what a mess it was when there were no such dedicated servers (like in Diablo 1 where hacks were everywhere...).
If you don't like multiplayer, don't play it. If you do, register an account.
It really sounds that what you really want is to buy 1 game and play it on 2 different computers at the same time. Sorry, you can't do that. Buy 2 games, next time. If you can't afford it...get a job. And stop spewing nonsense here.

Btw, even WITHOUT a registration system, developers always have ways to lock you out of their game servers. Be it by ip adress or other means. So yeah...what you're saying here is stupid. You'll never be guaranteed access to online / multiplayer services and most games use online dedicated servers for all multiplayer purposes nowadays. You know this, I know this, everybody knows this. Don't act like it's a surprise that there's little to NO LAN games in this era.

I don't care about WHAT he posted, I replied to YOU.

I rest my case, you're really an idiot.

"Hence inviting somebody over to play on your machine a game which you own is against the EULA.
"This licence is for your personal use". "

No, it's not against EULA. End of story.

Thank you for your name calling and showing such a great mind, that any baby would outright glance in comparison to you.

And ripping posts apart just shows your level of 0 intelligence.

Have a nice day and keep your overwhelming Intelligence to yourself, you need it.
Hi, I'm going to add to this thread because this is where I looked first (coincidentally, also a very high Google result.)

I bought PUBG from gamesrocket.com and... It was fine. Here are some details about the request for ID, since nearly everything else here is negative:

1. My purchase was flagged for verification, likely because my Paypal email is not the one I used on GamesRocket.
2. The order confirmation email and request for ID email came at the same time. Like most people, this is when I started looking for information.
3. After some debate, I provided the info - but hold on. The email title is "Verification of Address". As such, I provided the two images requested (photo of ID, in my case a driver's license, and photo of myself holding the ID), but I took a few precautions:

- On the ID photo, I created a repeating watermark saying "FORGAMESROCKETONLY" over a solid white background, and used that to cover all information on my license that could not be matched to the info they got from PayPal. So my biometric info, middle initial, the license number, and so on, leaving my address and the expiration date to show it was a valid card. I did in this case leave my date of birth, which was probably unnecessary but Germany has some strong censorship laws and this was a violent game, so I didn't want to invoke any further delay by them needing to confirm my age too.

- On the selfie, I removed the same information from the ID card, held the card at a different angle than the other photo, held it so my fingers covered some of the edges, held it where it partially obscured my face, dropped it to the lowest resolution where the address could be read, and then used a translucent watermark of "FORGAMESROCKETONLY" across my face.

4. I sent these documents at something like 1 AM their time, so it was not validated until the next morning. A working key was swiftly provided, and everything's good.

So in conclusion. The fact that they may ask for ID is in the site's FAQ, but it is NOT in the terms & conditions that you see during checkout, and for me that's the main problem here. Additionally their grasp of written English is not the best, which only serves to make the whole procedure seem a lot sketchier than it probably is. If they made it clearer what they will accept, I think it would seem far less suspicious, as trying to use the docs I sent for malicious purposes is probably not worth anyone's time. Another poster somewhere said they put black bars across their eyes and had no problem either, which is what led me to overrule my initial BS-meter reading. FWIW, I'd recommend the site if saving a few bucks is worth your time (i.e. you feel as guilty as I do when I buy games) and you can live with someone foreign knowing the same things about you that someone local can easily determine on their own.

Yeah, just took a quick peek and searched for The Witcher 3: they're selling GOG keys, and I'm quite certain they're not a legit reseller for GOG keys. So, I conclude they're in the same category as G2A and are nothing but a grey-market key reseller and not a legit site.

Besides, any game selling site that wants the type of ID they request is something I'd avoid at all costs. YMMV.
I have recently used gamesrocket to buy a game code for Switch and besides the mentioned process with the ID, there was nothing wrong or sketchy with them. Code came swiftly, I will probably use it again if the price is lower.

The issue with keys is that they can be revoked at any time (and thus the game removed from your library/account), with no warning.

There are very few sites which sell legit keys.

I don't believe there are any legit 3rd party resellers for GoG keys...

Yes there are 3rd part resellers but I don;t recall any of them with official GoG blessings.

There are a couple. Not many, and not for all games, but a few GOG games can be purchased outside of GOG. Tell me if you want me to go digging them up.

JMich: Tell me if you want me to go digging them up.
It's not a biggie. I recall that from discussions about not being able to use nation restricted credit cards and folks stating that you have to buy directly from GoG.

We see this in webhosting with companies that have been burned by fraud. To be honest, it's usually a sign that the provider doesn't understand the fraud protection being provided by the credit card provider or doesn't trust it.
