Mostly im interested in Singleplayer.

Indeed, you can play singleplayer without any online connection or less content. Completely DRM free. But you are asked every time you start a SP campaign to log in. But you can click it away.

For MP, if you download the game manually you need to create a THQ account.

edit: I can say this for manual download, without Galaxy, only.

Could you please send a screenshot or something where THQ account is asked for. I cant find any reference ingame to creation of THQ account. Installing the game using the gog offline installers ( 1.3 installer version) leads to the multiplayer main menu option being greyed out and when i hoover over it with the mouse cursor the pop up message appears informing me that THQNO servers are not available.

Cheers

Hey,
I do not own the game anymore. But I sent a pic in discord right after release, which I had to find again now. The pic is from the release version. I was able to create an account and to play multiplayer. If this isn't in the game anymore, it is good sign and a shame.
Good, that the player will not get annoyed by this annoying pop-up, everytime I started a new game. And, from my comment to the discord picture, the pop-up appeared while trying to load a savegame as well. So, really annoying!
And a shame, that it is not possible to play multiplayer anymore without using GOG Galaxy, which is not possible on Linux. And it is not written on the Store Page, that I need GOG Galaxy to play mp.

So, Sir.Tomato, there is no login button below "quit" anymore??

edit: some grammar issues and missing information

Hey,

The pop window on the right side still exists. However, clicking on the "Sign in" button doesn't do anything if the user starts the game without the Galaxy client.

My understanding is that in case of playing using the client (Galaxy or steam), if the user losses temporary connection to the client or to internet, a reconnection attempt could be attented by the user by clicking in the "sign in" button. Basically the game notifies the user that for some if he/she wants to play without online features. That's why I am a little confused about the mentioned by you THQ account.

Nevertheless, thank you for clarifycation. Actually if you are right, THQ account would mean multiplayer without any client needed (which I still think is not the case), which in my book is better then Galaxy/steam dependant multiplayer.
