Tormentfan: So we've already had the Defcon thing where we're finding out some rather unsavoury things regarding GOG's supposed DRM-free releases.. a universal key tied to a server? REALLY? In what universe is that DRM-FREE? But now we have a second case.. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux when run opens Steam and won't run without the Steam .dlls.

What's going on GOG?.. I may have accepted 'mistake' (although it's a bad one considering that you go over the releases to supposedly to make sure the games comply with your policies!) it you hadn't been so damned shady with the above key issue.. YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN THAT'S NOT ANY KIND OF DEFINITION OF DRM-FREE ANY OF US WHO USE YOUR SITE WOULD EXPECT.. but now this happens.

I'm not entirely sure what to think.. are you making unreasonable mistakes considering the policies you've built your name on, or is this some kind of stealth policy change/definition of DRM switcheroo you're trying to sneak by us in increments?

It's bad enough that your comments shifted focus of the Defcon issue to the fact that it was 'an old key' which still doesn't deal with the actual issue in the least.. but you've stayed away from any comment at all on the Redux issue?

I buy from this site for one reason, and one reason only, I don't want DRM OF ANY SHAPE OR FORM in my gaming purchases and this has been your very public policy (up to now?).. If you are unable to stick to your existing policy or have any intention of changing said policy, then please make a public state about it so I can make a better informed opinion as to where I am willing to purchase.
Hi,
We always perform checks whether the game connects with Steam. If it does, before release, we return the master to the developer and ask them for a fix. We are currently trying to find a way to reproduce this issue on our testlab and no luck...

Therefore I need some additional info:

1) Where have you installed the game?
2) Do you have the steam version of EC installed on your hard drive?
3) Have you mixed the installation locations of GOG and Steam versions of EC, if the answer above is true?
4) Could you post the contents of the game main directory?
5) Could you tell us how, exactly, step by step, you installed the game? The more specific the answer, the better.

If it is indeed a bug on our side we will fix this asap.
