Can’t beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.

Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.

    So it doesn’t require the EGS Launcher? It doesn’t require any form of Internet connection to install, launch, or play?

    With all due respect, if the answer is “it does” to either one of those questions, then that’s still a very strong form of DRM.

      I mean, you’re stuck playing on consoles with version 1.0 if that’s your criteria so I don’t know why we should care about your opinion of PC launchers.

                I never said you could, so that’s irrelevant. Don’t move the goalposts.

                And to be fair, neither Steam nor Epic even allows you to download an offliner installer; GOG does.

                  Guess that GOG is a very strong form of DRM

                    Not at all.

                    • GOG does not requires its launcher to install, launch, or play a game.
                    • GOG does not require an Internet connection to install, launch, or play a game.

                    Of course you require an Internet connection to download the offline installer. How the hell do you expect to get it otherwise? For them to ship a disk to you? In 2023? As awesome as that would be, that’s funny.

                    In any case, downloading it isn’t DRM; it’s no different than having to go to the store to pick up an item. Lol.
