I don't understand. You've been a user since 2013. How have you installed any game all this time? Go in your account and you will see your games. Find the Witcher and download the installer. I'm not sure if you are pulling my leg.

Well the only Real point of a client is an easy way to update your software, be it Galaxy, Steam or even Windows Store.
Galaxy also goes to the length of Reverting said updates in certain situations, which is added value.
Everything else is pretty much "extra", and if you don't need it and your games don't require updating it is indeed redundant.

Since GOG confirmed they will be selling DRMed games (from other companies like Epic) via Galaxy 2.0 store, in addition to the increasing number of games here on GOG.com that can be seen as having DRM, I knew I was right to be wary of spending money here. And may I add that it is so dumb to fracture your audience like this.

Consider it this way:

Old-school-minded users: will generally refuse to use DRMed products such as anything Galaxy-only and don't want Galaxy in the offline installers.

New-school users who looooooveeeeee clients: have never, not a single instance I have ever seen, complained about the existence of offline installers.

So since the new users you want so badly don't have any apparent issue with the clientless way of doing things being an option, and the old users do want clientless products, why not just provide clientless products instead of shedding part of your audience? Stupid is as stupid does. I'm so glad I refunded Cyberpunk preorder.

It's also not just the client per se. It's also that the v2 of the client is grossly inferior to v1 of the client, and is what's enabling their bullshit like the Epic deal and other offensive policies. If I run the v2 client, I get DRMed and microtransaction games advertised to me if I click in certain places, and there's no way to turn that off! (And this is beyond it being inferior to v1 just in basic find/install/update/sync my own games.)

I accidently hit not interested. Is there a way to claim the copy?

*thumbs up*

Welcome to the offline installer club bud.

I mean... It depends on personal definiton... but I personally see Playism as more pure than GOG. At least Playism isn't actively lying about things being DRM-free or non-DRM-free (cough NMS cough).

And there you get recorded on CCTV. Plus if you by any chance happen to pay by card... you get the idea...

Dude :D That's savage xD (and I say it as a Linux-as-a-main-system user)

Morning fellas, we meet again /s
Nothing better than uniting together other at comments section of yet another questionable decision /s
Seems Breja is missing. Someone go wake him up :P

Buy CDPR one stock exchange packet and get free copy of Cyberpunk 2077 /s

Bring more people into Galaxy. Then wall in the garden saying "but majority is already there so what's the problem".

Frankly (and lo and behold it's some unwritten rule people as a general rule tend to just not see this point), at that point that's no different from Steam for major amount of games - what am I talking about? - there is TONS of DRM-free-after-installed games on Steam, you just install them through Valve's launcher and then they have literally no DRM and are fully portable. Then there is the fact that from those ACTUALLY DRMed you can remove DRM through casual efforts from vast chunk of that specific list of games.
The moment Galaxy becomes mandatory for ALL installs is the moment there will be literally no incentive whatsoever for DRM-free purist people (such as myself, tho I am not some blind fanatic, if I can remove DRM from Steam game myself and cram manual backup of it somewhere I'm fine with it since I care about specificly lack of DRM and not neccesarily "by default" [tho I generally aim for it whenever possible]) to buy anything here anymore.

I hv vast IT experience, especially in the field of dealing with some obscure exotic BS, I hv disected Win 7 inside out over the years, for me Win 10 is LITERALLY the WORST Windows M$ has EVER made. And I say it as a person that used EVERYTHING from 95 all the way to 10, including server ones and mobile too (plus DOS, I am not 100% sure if I used Win 3/3.1).

Well, welcome to *NIX ;) Hv fun. Hope your stay becomes eternal :)

We need COMPETENT competition, not wolves-in-sheeps-skin ( E**) nor platform-principles-mercenaries ( G** ).

There is "Overview" "Progress" and "Link executable" which takes me to an empty folder.
Also i keep trying to attach a screenshot of what I'm looking at but it won't show up.

If I remember correctly there is a lock of posting links and / or attachments before reaching certain amount of rep and / or forum activity.
Try posting a link instead.

Oh I'm not using a screenshot i found on the internet. I'm using one i made on my computer using the sniping tool.

So, the usual for this market tactics: invest into the new userbase and ditch the old userbase. Because new users will accept new rules as something given and will not ask uncomfortable questions. Nothing new.
BTW, GOG already made some of the XP-compatible games from their library to be no longer compatible. Since such are minimal requirements for the galaxy.dll.

great release

I cannot seem to see the banner on top? Going to recent has a tip to add games and friends, but after closing that banner, there is no banner for The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.

i don't even know at this point does it matter everyone has to have a gog copy by now, I actually deleted my gam 2 times though support and still claimed a free copy ad also this https://www.gog.com/gwent-welcome-bonus
you can say there are 2 ways to get a copy

people had 5 or 6 chances and still have 2 currently to get Witcher for free..


try this then newsletter version unless you want galaxy instead both same games but ones client and other is email
https://www.gog.com/gwent-welcome-bonus
you can still get it :D
https://www.gog.com/gwent-welcome-bonus although newsletter version

I think it was free during witcher 3 release, gwent release, welcome bonus 2 or 3 times

Witcher was free a lot of times i'm shocked people still actually don't have it because of the number of times it was free.

People who knew what is it and why is it of course have it already. As I mentioned above, this action targets casuals who never heard of this game. And those casuals will be added to the Galaxy auditory as a thankful customers. And, when time comes, they will argue with those like you and me about new questionable changes in the policy. Because they had their profit while we are on the loosing side. It's like politics: divide et impera.
