ive been waiting for the gog version of poe to go on sale since its release...is this version drm free or not??

i waited through steam version being on sale with the hope that gog version was truthful that it would not contain drm. have i wasted my time??

Yes, it is.

The being here are DRM free (and if the files remains they are legacy files)

What did make you even think that it is not DRM free?

victor vran

Victor Vran is DRM free, not to mention it's made by a completely different company. The requirement for an account login for multiplayer is not DRM.

parts of victor vran are online only and require what u say makes it not drm free ^^

Yes, because it has multiplayler mode. That requires you to be online. I suggest you do your homework and actually look up what DRM means; it does not mean requiring you to be online for multiplayer. Sheesh!

Digital rights management (DRM) is a term referring to various access control technologies that are used to restrict the usage of proprietary software, hardware, or content. The term "DRM" encompasses technologies that control the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted works, as well as systems within devices that enforce these policies. The term is also sometimes referred to as "copy protection", "technical protection measures", "copy prevention", or "copy control", although the correctness of doing so is disputed. (Wikipedia)

So online account is definitely NOT a DRM, unless like some games You need it to play offline (blizzard). And whole this topic sounds for me like this guy is angry on gog because he can not make pirate copy of victor vran because of online account O.o

Edit: I want nodrm-means i need no internet to play online! Yaiks! No more paying for internet bills now i can play online without internet connection!

Even the Steam edition of PoE is drm free...game runs great without Steam running at all. You can run it through the Steam interface (includes clock & achievements) or completely outside the Steam interface (no timer and no achievements)--the choice is yours. The absence of Steam DRM was the choice of the developer, Obsidian, so kudos to them! Witcher 3 Steam is the same...kudos to CDPR for the DRM'less Steam version.

I prefer GOG's because I like the GOG installer files, actually. But I like Steam, too, as Steamworks seems much more amenable to developers getting out beta versions...But whereas GOG is *always* DRM free, that is not the case with Steam, as we all know...;)
