DRM-Free and online multiplayer is a fools errand in this day and age. The average user here could give a damn about multiplayer.

Perhaps. Certainly I avoid online multiplayer anyway. Still, implementing direct IP connections isn't such a problem for co-op, and funnily enough, it's the excellent indie studios like Larian who are far more likely to do so than any major publisher, when the latter could most easily afford the time and manpower to program various options.

To paraphrase Daffy Duck, "Now wait just one cotton pickin' second! Something's screwy here..."

Even after the laughable "fair price package" gog are charging a large percentage more than steam are.

This site is giving less & less reasons to shop here.

dear troll
before spitting your venom, bear in mind that GOG bundles up many games here with "avatar" goodies, and that many people here are using avatar from games they bought which had such goodies.

bear also in mind you are not omniscient and can't know for sure about everyone's identity and resumee, and that some users here can in fact be the initial artists who drew the avatar they used as well, even when said drawing is licensed to someone else

also, back on topic:
didnnt something feel strange for you folks ?
SIZE !!! 217 MEGABYTES for 20x2 small res portraits
i mean if the combined weight of 40 stamp-sized picks in png rises up to 3mb max, it will be the most of it
217 god damn mega mutha*BIP*ing bytes for 40 pictures, well, i had seen that yes, once, on hegre art ! :)

also on the anomaly department:
dlc being available for windows only when game is also on linux and max
dlc being available for windows only while dls is available on linux onsteam (DUH ?)
EDITION UPGRADES catalogs entry "impossible to add here" on gog while they are on steam
EDITION UPGRADES catalogs entry "impossible to add here" on gog while they just added this DLC
GOG store keeps telling me i don't own the game while i purchased an edition of it (preorder, i guess thats what makes it yada yada)

217 god damn mega mutha*BIP*ing bytes !
also 4€ for 20x2 small pics... /facepalm

well, anyway that's a nice signal to have me keeping away from paradox and obsidian current projects i could have been interested in, let alone speaking about future project of any of them

Learn English before you ping me, retard.

Ah, that my dear Watson is what we call a catch 22.

This should be free.

especially on the website of a child-company store from cd projekt, which released 16 free dlc for the witcher 3 upon release (shortly after), some of which involved more work than this dlc here, and some even involving ACTUAL gameplay added (the little quest with the piggies peasants cursed by an ancien magic)

in fact this little quest is a good example:
sure there were some assets used back, the village was alread on map, the elve ruins were using environment used in other parts of the game (except maybe the gold altar, which was unique to this quest), but there was also, as most quest in game, unique voice over dialog lines between gerhalt and the uncursed peasant guy

with as much respect as i can have for artists who draw (as i can't do myself) it still involved less work from specialised artists/workers than this quetst did, and less people.

Still not available for Mac. :(

They paid an artist to make some more material for a game. And it's not cut content, since Tyranny already has a very good portrait selection for character creation. No reason not to sell them.

Price is a little stiff for that kind of mass-distribution digital content, sure. But I already paid higher price for illustrations and character images I use for TTRPG.

I would have been far more bothered by ingame supplement, like a new companion that would have made my game "incomplete". But for that kind of cosmetic stuff? No problem. I might even buy it if I ever have 5$ to burn and want to use them for NPCs in my RPG campaigns :)

Yeah, I'll get it when it's 100% off

Well, people are not upset because of GoG selling it, but because of Obsidian producing such a DLC.

It now appears like this is a marketing gimmick for the Paradox sale that just started on Steam and to apply a "NEW CONTENT AVAILABLE" banner on Tyranny's steam portrait and have the game appear in the carousel of "SPECIAL OFFERS" on the Steam front page, separate from the Paradox Sale's entry.

So in addition to regular customers, GOG itself gets to be taken advantage of by this DLC propping up a Steam marketing effort.

oh i see, makes sense

it's all marketing tactic to use steam algorithm to their advantage

steam carousel and front page recommendations and algorithm is so flawed and usually inefficient; the sore front is usually plagued with fake games/asset flipping games, terrible stuff and cash-ins abusing the trading card feature...

also, a steam problem with their recommendation algorithm: no possibility to make steam understand i AM interested in a game, BUT i already have it (on gog/humble/etc)
so i ever say i'm interested (of course, already bought it) and get plagued with sales notifications, or say i'm not interested and not being proposed interesting games in future... :)
i guess i would have to find another way to discover new games... oh wait ! :)
