There is no DRM on GOG. You can just download the offline installer, then install it even without an internet connection. It will never ask you to go online because it doesn’t need to check anything.

Jesus, that sounds like hell.
Steam is a ticking time bomb but mostly for the reason that you don’t own the games you purchase there and you can’t back them up (mostly) so when Steam decides to ban your account or just closes down, you lose all of your games forever.
More people should push for DRM-free games with offline installers, like GOG and Itch offer.
A step in the right direction would be no pointless MTX, as plenty of other games are doing right now. There are no microtransactions in my copy of Days Gone, for example. Nor are there any in Horizon: Zero Dawn.
And even if it’s the popular thing to do, that is not an excuse to let them get an inch. “Oh, but he only beat you a little!”…
I used to be able to just cheat in the game. Just input a cheat and get infinite lives.
Why do I have to pay money for that now?
I’d rather they didn’t do this at all.
Please, let’s not nornalize nickel-and-diming your customers.
It’s mechanically great but the story is… Not good.
I wish they were more upfront about the GOG release date.
I’ll gladly buy this once it’s available DRM-free, like its predecessor.
It replicates it well enough for me to still be playing it regularly 20 years later and well enough to debunk the myth that every multiplayer game must automatically become unplayable with time (“die”) solely due to the fact that it’s multiplayer.
I can also still play UT2K4 with my friends, should I want to. I can’t do either of these with a “live service” game where there is no offline mode or self-hostable servers.
Also, you ignored my mention of PZ, which is a multiplayer-enabled game which also won’t die when the developer dies (or abandons the game).
I’m still playing Unreal Tournament 2004 just fine with bots. I don’t need a community to play Project Zomboid with my SO. Your claim is factually incorrect.
Cool, I’ll buy it once it comes to GOG.
So something like a Synology NAS, I guess.
I replayed it a month ago and still liked it.
I’m still waiting for a GOG release.

Fair enough. Still, games used to be vastly cheaper in my country and the asking price for the basic version of Starfield is 80 USD. There is no way any game is worth this much of my income.
That’s a very US-centric view, at best. I paid about 23 dollars for a brand new copy of Half-Life 2 in 2004.
Now release it on GOG, then I’ll buy it.
Now do GOG!
