Yes, exactly.
For instance, I jump on this occasion to commend tfishell because I read him earlier on Runic (torchlight 2) forum making *once more* a clean explanation to someone else as to why some people want/need DRM-free version of their games. Congrats for taking the time to make that explanation for the hundredth time (at the very least).

Repeating clear explanations again and again is a tedious thing to do, but it's necessary if you want people to adopt your views.

Part of the problem here might be culture or language clash. There seems to be some confusion over objective vs subjective.

Objective means 'a fact, not an opinion'. Subjective means 'an opinion, or from a certain point of view'.

There are many people who consider DRM-free to be a nice extra but not a must-have. That statement is objective; it is simply a fact. It is supported by Steam and Origin success, many posts by gamers, etc. Your description of DRM is subjective; it is your opinion, which may or may not match other people's opinions.

For another example: Your post contains insults and derogatory terms towards other. Ergo, it is an insulting post. This is an objective fact that can be measured by the presence of insults.

If a person is rude and insulting to others they are not censoring themselves sufficiently. Halfway politeness is not better than no politeness at all. The appropriate thing to do when one cannot be polite is to remain silent.

This is true for all points of view. Truth wins out only if the people who understand it patiently explain it to newcomers.

Sooo.... any way to run this outside of Origin? :P

If you don't have a problem with people who use Origin than you don't agree with KingofGnG. He seems to have a severe problem with understanding that other people might like or use Origin.

I think most GOGites would rather have a game DRM-free here than elsewhere with DRM. But that doesn't mean we all go out of our way to insult people who think differently.

DOSBox game, so copy the folder and run it? Should work, haven't checked it though.

Right, correction: I agree that with his first post:

If you open the DOSBOX folder where the game is instaled and run launcher.exe it tries to launch origin before the game, if you run the dosbox.exe in that folder instead it will run the game skipping origin. Havent playing enough this way to see of origin pulls any funny business further along.

This trick also works for Theme Hospital, but not for Crusader no remorse

sir how dare you bring level headed logic to a juvenile bratty rant !
i wil have you know we wont stand for that kind of behavior on the internet ;p

Never mind

I just installed it for my sisters, they wanted that PVZ free release if I remember well.

It does work for Crusader also. You just need to replace the dosbox.exe in the folder with a normal dosbox.exe (you could take it from the syndicate folder or from any GOG folder).
