Uhm... no, you don't care. I do, and I would assume quite a few more people do, as the recent reaction to the new installers fiasco proves. And sorry to break it to you, but when the only response left to you is "well, no one cares so shut up", then you're not exactly winning the debate.

For me too the answer is yes. I play computer games so that I don't need to interact with other human beings when I want to pass the time with what entertains me. By which I mean be dependent on the presence and availability and right mood and whatever else may be required of other people in order to enjoy playing a game.

I also don't want to have to avail of external, and often costly, other resources, such as online connectivity, data, etc. in order to enjoy my time with a game. Which to me is what DRM-free means. Which is what attracted me to the gog.com website in the first place.

And yet now we are seeing the release here of more and more products that are contrary to our expectations in line with the assurances that were given to us by the keepers of this site in times past. And that is why there are many people complaining about the way things often work around here these days.

However, as disgruntled as it makes me feel to see these occurrences, I usually don't complain about it too much. I understand that these folks are running a business, which means that their main priority is making as much money as they can, and not to keep their customer base as happy as they can. And therefore they will implement whatever measures they feel necessary to achieve their goal.

So i normally only quietly observe, purchase those few products that meet my requirements and when, one day, there are no more such products available, I will leave and never return to the site anymore. And no one of the "site managers" will notice or care and that is how life works. I surely have enough games to last me the rest of my lifetime, so sad though I may be, I will not complain, but that doesn't mean that I won't prefer to find more products here that suits my requirements.

I rambled. Ah, well...

Ummm yes you did ramble, About nothing. This game has no DRM, it is free, it's fun and you play against other people. You don't like that then go play solitaire

I guess he thought that the Gwent threadon the GOG forum is a reasonable place to talk about the issue of Gwent being on GOG. Silly mistake, really.

Like it going to make a difference? They games isn't going away... most people have a common sense that beta doesn't mean feature complete. He is complaining about something he doesn't even know will come to pass.

Take a step back, wait and see what it is like at release... all he does is complain anymore. I rarely read a post where he isn't complaining. Sorry, I've just grown tired of it.

All this does it take away from a actual meaningful discussion about the release of GWENT by people who actually intend play it...

EDIT: By the way I don't care to "win" the debate, I don't even want to debate this... it's silly thing to debate at this point without knowing what the final product will be like.

No, i don't think most people have a hard time understanding. What they are rather into is tarring and feathering everything they don't like related to online/networking as "DRM". By now, the term "DRM" has lost all meaning it once had and is used mostly as an invective only. Basically "DRM" is just a synonym for "this is shit"/"i don't really like" which can be typed with three quick keystrokes (plus holding down the Shift key ;) )

So let me get this straight, you're making a free-to-play game. On the one store that (used to I guess) prides itself on DRM-Free games. Let's look at what making a free-to-play game entails.

- Paying for someone to edit your save file for you (because it's encrypted so you can't do it yourself)
- Checking/updating in-game actions with a server (so you're not "cheating" a.k.a. not paying them for nothing (see bullet point 1))
- Inserting ads and prompts for the TOTALLY OPTIONAL* scamming
- Making sure the game is designed to let you play for just long enough without paying to get hooked before getting aggressive with the "you'll have to wait/grind if you want to do this thing" unless you put money in your usb port
- Making sure the player never plays without feeling like they've walked into a drug dealer's back alley home

Whoa, maybe it's just me but that seems like some nasty-ass garbage! Especially given GOG already has at least one other card game with zero player-fleecing- wait I meant the In-Game Purchases are Totally OptionalTM, and just like every other free-to-play trash fire it's in the most technical, legally accurate way possible! Stay positive bros and consider your Digital Rights Ma-DESTROYED!

Great place for a meaningful discussions about the game when you actually play the game or intend to do so:

My body is ready!!!

How exactly are you supposed to play multiplayer over the internet without an internet connection? Think about it......You NEED an internet connection even if your playing an LAN game with a friend who is not on the same network. To think anything else is just silly.

To be fair, the two very often come together. Sometimes game devs even confuse "micro" and "macro" transactions - I saw bundle of "currency" in an online game worth more than full price of witcher 3 + both expansions when it was brand new. Many of the in-game items you could buy with it require several such investments, of course. Quite insane. Free to play + (micro|macro}transactions + pay2win, all in one tight package.

On topic: I didn't mind playing gwent here and there in witcher. But as standalone game, and being card collectibles that depend on mercy of RNG... I'm sure they added many more cards and possible strategies since the in-game version, but it still doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy. I still have my ng+ playthrough of the full game to finish (currently it's on hold while I'm busy finishing spellforce 2 replay), and many more titles in backlog. I wish CDPR success, but I won't take part even for free. Now when they bring Cyberpunk 2077 to the table, that's entirely another matter...

Exactly, my personal line for this is DRM has become a big "I disagree" button. They don't like it so they claim it's DRM. This is what I take issue with above all else. It devalues the meaning of DRM, and then when real DRM slips in... most of us don't care because were tired of people "crying wolf".

Complaining about the installer did. This probably won't, but GOG should see people aren't ok with the way things are going.

"Ok, yes, I see where i was wrong. I was mistakenly thinking that the Policy applied to all products on here equally. I see now that is not the case, any game which, at some point in the future may release a single player or offline version, counts as DRM free."

And I rarely see a post of yours where you're not just being a corporate stooge. "People, stop caring about things and let us gobble up anything GOG throws our way in peace!"

I see. So when GOG does something we think is wrong, only the people who are ok with it and intend to use it should be allowed to discuss it. Got it.
