It would be nice if he actually read what the blues respond with. :P

Yes but that isn't going to happen and at this point I don't want nice, I just want QUIET! :P

omega64: It's not DRM, as Ciris stated it's: "a simple inefficiency in how drive space is used."
Well, more accurately, it's dormant. I'm just a purist who doesn't like infections, even inactive ones. :)

I can appreciate that. :P
It's just that he goes overboard by calling it DRM and thus demanding a refund. :P

Outraged overreactions are the norm on the internet, sadly. Such things would have destroyed my faith in humanity, had I started with any. ;)

Ciris: Check here.

Or a repost, if you prefer to read here:

As we've previously said, the files are a remnant of old DRM that is no longer active.

They serve no actual purpose, but their removal in a way that would keep all of the game's functionalities intact and stable would be a lot of work. Our tech team is currently swamped with other tasks (i.e. launching a ton of games, the GOG Galaxy project, preparations for the The Witcher 3 release, an much, MUCH more we can't reveal yet).

Since this is *not* DRM (as it does not in any way lock the game), but instead a simple inefficiency in how drive space is used, it's not a top-priority issue at the moment - however, it is one we do plan to fix and there will be updates when we do have updates to share. :)
That all sounds reasonable - as long as the buyer can make an informed decision about it.

If GOG would document this in some fashion on the FEAR gamecard, then buyers would have the foreknowledge to decide if they want these "dormant" SecureRom files on their PC's or not. I, for one, do not want them - dormant or not.

I'm presuming you consider this "case closed" - B UT it is not until this is documented on the gamecard. THEN it is "case dormant" until you can "fix" it for good (as promised).


On a positive note - I'd like to thank GOG for fixing the "p.e.r.i.o.d." searched so they now work!
Thanks! :)

what are you doing, don't suggest them "new ideas". they are busy enough already (passwording, unbundling, censoring ....)

just think about, what ciris said:

"Our tech team is currently swamped with other tasks (i.e. launching a ton of games, the GOG Galaxy project, preparations for the The Witcher 3 release, and much, MUCH more we can't reveal yet)."

i don't wanna try to imagine what he meant by much, MUCH more

Some of us still hope one of those things is a GOG Merchandise option. I'd love one of those DRM-Free Revolution t-shirts and a stuffed GOGbear. Or they could get into what a number of us have suggested, namely selling game soundtracks.

But I suspect these ideas are too sensible and instead they are working on a GOG Auction Site and GOG Gluten-Free Vegan Cookbook. ;)
