I have found this:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/star_wars_battlefront_ii_now_supports_crossplay_e3898/post93 That explains why I didn't get a changelog and didn't download anything, so the old multi-player is still available and Galaxy is indeed optional in this case. :)
I will add it do both lists then.
Does it have LAN support?

Ah I see well I am not sure but people was bitching in the comments so I would dig through everything, I have yet to re download the new version or something but I hope it does...

Added Worms W.M.D
to the Galaxy dependent MP games.
Well, there goes my interest, I'll have to keep playing Worms Armageddon online via Linux then...

I see that Stronghold Crusader (Extreme) is in the LAN-only list, which is correct (love this old game). Unfortunately, Stronghold Crusader 2 does not support LAN multiplayer, requiring all players to be signed into different accounts on Galaxy in order to play multiplayer at all. There's not even cross-play with Steam, which makes me wish I just bought it there.

Added to the mandatory Galaxy list:
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII GALAXY EDITION

But what about offline split-screen on this one?

Thanks for the heads up, added to the respective list as well.

Any info about No Man's Sky?
