Same for the X-COM collection. What is 2K's problem with GOG.com?

Both 2K and Gearbox are known in having various collaborations with Valve. The main reason behind games like Civilization and Borderlands is Steam servers, as those games were on Gamespy. Most likely they have exclusivity deals, as those games use Steamworks for multiplayer. So it would be a little bit odd to buy an GOG game but to have to use Steam if you want to play it online.

2K is a publisher, therefore they are obliged by law to being asshats.

Also, if it was only 2K that has a problem with GOG/DRM Free it would be easy to solve.

They haven't signed a deal with GOG yet; that's all. Same as the former problem with Deep Silver and Paradox having DRM-free games on other sites first, before eventually coming to GOG. My advice is to be patient. Who knows? Maybe 2016 will be the year of Take-Two Interactive.

2K, publisher of Bioshock, is on GOG now, in 2016:

About time for Bioshock DRM-free.

Those who have the Steam-version get the remastered version for free BTW:

l wonder what 2K's policy is on remasters for DRM-free owners?

You'd been better off opening a new topic with that question. This topic is about superseded news, Bioshock IS DRM-free on GOG now and only people interested in Bioshock would see your question.

Thank you. I wasn't paying attention. Had a bunch of gog forum tabs open and posted in the wrong one.
