Would have bought, if not for the DRM
Saw the game on winter sale, half-price. $15, which seemed pretty reasonable. I nearly clicked "add to cart" immediately. Then I saw the reviews. Sure, the game seems to be rather faithful to the originals, with a few tweaks. Less customization for ships, more spy options ? Ok, I can try and see if it works. Space combat no longer turn by turn ?! Outrageous ! Oh, wait, I can pause it ? Ok, might be acceptable... Ah, and then, I read about the multiplayer DRM, linked to Wargaming.net So, it appears that, when playing single player, the game has a lot of network activity (at least, that's what some buyers say - I didn't install the game myself, nor did I buy it, remember), and the license terms allow Wargaming.net to track and record a whole shitload of things, including where you click, or whole conversations, etc. I understand that there might be legitimate reasons to try and do this (probably banning people insulting other players, or cheaters), but I think there are other ways to deal with those. For instance, no longer playing against them, or having a "user rating" system, where people can say what they thought about them, etc. So, I'm sorry, but this stands against the very reasons I had to come buy here, on GOG. Maybe they'll patch the game, and allow a "normal" multiplayer, without DRM, in the future ? If so, I'll be sure to pick it up, but, for now, I'll pass.
