nightcraw1er.488: Anyways, Sony probably have CDPR (and gog) high on their Xmas card list after the giant turd of cyberjunk.
tfishell: I wouldn't be surprised if this was true, Sony not wanting to deal with CDP after the apparent disaster of CP2077 on consoles.
Also, it’s worth noting that you can already buy games on epic direct from galaxy, so for the vast majority of people who use galaxy and don’t care about drm/client/online gating/online only etc. the game is already available for them. Why would Sony create another version with galaxy for a smaller return? Same goes for any game on epic now.
kai2: I second Breja on this. I'm only here for DRM-free. Take that away and I have no reason to purchase here.
DetouR6734: Honestly, i think something both sides should accept is if GOG accepted a policy of games with DRM, that become DRM-Free with an update after say 5 years.
It would allow GOG to increase it's catalog without being restricted, and GOG'ers will eventually get what they want eitherway when the 5 years are up, the game gets a DRM-Free update... obviously the Devs/Publisher would have to agree to it, but it would make GOG more palletable.
Obviously this would have to be made quite clear before purchase.
The most important part here, if GOG did this then there would be no point, even for the most ardent fan of GOG to buy anything here. GOG is more expensive, less functional, less up to date, has a tiny catalog when compared to steam, and a lot of titles on steam are drm free with the rest being made drm free with a hacked exe. So it’s getting harder and harder to find any reason to buy here already, and now you are suggesting the platform exclude drm people even further?? That’s just madness and would close the store almost immediately. Not to mention devs don’t even keep their contracts nowadays, unless the contracts allow for missing update parity etc.
All you are saying here is the new wave of hipster “I want steam, but not called steam” lot would have exactly the same steam experience here at the expense of those who want something different from a store.

On-topic: No I wasn't expecting Gods of War to be released on GOG, and I didn't realize anyone even hoped for it.
Keep your expectations low, that way you can be surprised only positively.
I always keep my expectations low, I am still always surprised negatively.
