I don’t aim for RPG in a Box to be preferred over another engine or tool instead I want it to be a fun, all-in-one piece of software that is enjoyed by everyone a. I fear we are seeing the beginning of the end for GOG (and, by extension, for DRM-free games in general). I haven’t used RPG Maker or other RPG-specific engines, so it’s hard to make a comparison, and in the end I don’t feel as though it should be viewed as a competitor. And now we have GOG not even bothering to make any effort with its announcements, with announcements now being literally nothing more than the game name and genre. IF I understand correctly, then we have GOG enabling its own form of DRM for many games, specifically the requirement that you must run those games via Galaxy in order to access certain features, such as multiplayer.ĥ. We have GOG happily releasing at least one game (Hitman 2016) which locked most of its content behind DRM (third-party account registration, third-party account login, and constant-active-connection-to-game-server requirement), GOG defending its decision to release that DRM-encumbered game and claiming the game wasn't DRM-encumbered, and GOG accusing people of "review-bombing" for posting reasonable and objective negative reviews, with GOG only removing the game from its catalog after a significant sustained backlash and a huge stain on its reputation.Ĥ.

Honestly, why bother making the announcements at all? Just put the game in the banner on the home page and let that be the announcement.ġ.
Genre: Action RPG These announcements are getting to be as hysterical as they are pathetic.
