Newest version of Saints Row IV includes an install for Epic Online Services, meaning that this game now breaks GOG's "DRM-free" pledge, and you can only downgrade to the previous non Re-Elected build by going into GOG Galaxy by using the beta build feature (which at the time of my writing this didn't work). It's not like most other major alterations where it's made a separate game in users' libraries like with eg Doom I and Doom II Enhanced being placed in the library alongside the original games separately. I've heard reports of this game becoming far less stable and more crash prone, but I cannot comment on that personally since I immediately gave up on the game after the EOS stuff and uninstalled the game from my PC. I don't understand why this game was ruined on Steam and GOG for the sake of porting all of the coop servers to Epic's online service, and I doubly don't understand why GOG Galaxy's integration with Epic wasn't utilized for online coop and just left the EOS installation out of the latest build for this platform. Practically everyone who's bought Saints Row IV since 2015 already bought the Game of the Century Edition to get all of the DLC for the game, so the BS selling point of getting all of the DLC free was fluff. Again, why they didn't just make Re-Elected a separate product that people who bought Saints Row IV free I will never get. I hope the final pay out from Epic Games was worth breaking one of the Saints Row games for PC players, further losing respect and trust from those who are already feeling uneasy about the future of Volition and the SR series moving forward.
