GOG Release?

[DH]

I am really hoping this is coming to GOG.
The First Space Marine is on GOG, so this should be too … right?

^A website that sells video games.

Easier to pirate so ya don't' have to buy it, huh?

*edit - don't get me wrong, we all like to "preview" games sometimes longer than 2 hours.

*edit2 - but ya pay good devs for good work, especially the indies. Sh*t games/Dev work or cash grabs, call me a hypocrite, I could care less what people do.

Tends to be why people ask about GoG releases on a Steam forum...

It's the #1 source of piracy... DRM free.

*edit - And going back and reading through the thread, I see you clearly know what GoG is, so I know you clearly already knew the answer to your own question.

^You’re assuming the worst there. Some folks just prefer GOG to Steam.

Unfortunately you're right about that (assuming the worst), but it doesn't make it a fact any the less.

^That GOG releases don't use DRM is a fact. Claiming most people ask about a GOG release because they want to pirate the game is the assumption.

I was referring to the "fact" that GoG and DRM free games from there are the most pirated. Or people just flat out abuse the return policy, though Steam does need a MUCH better policy than 2h/2w. Unless you use FitGirl or others which I deny knowing anything about.

I've used GoG myself extensively, I'm not knocking them at all. I didn't have home internet for a brief time so I had to go down the street to use the library to download games to my laptop and GoG was much easier to do that through than trying to re-translate them back over to Steam to the home PC. Plus they might have had a block on Steam.

And sorry, but it's an assumption based on facts presented. I mean people come right out and say what they want to do half the time. Maybe not obviously on Steam forums anymore because they know they/the post will get banned, but go to a trash site like Reddit and it's out the open... Nothing to assume.

+1 for a GOG release.

According to the game's official FAQ, Space Marine 2 will not have Denuvo nor any DRM, so there is no reason not to release it on GOG as well.
I hope Focus Entertainment will consider it as soon as possible.

According to news from PCGames Network Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will not have DRM on launch, no Denuvo or other anti piracy measures.

Most AAA games don't ever come to GOG, and the ones that do rarely do so on launch, but the fact that is DRM free is a good start. Maybe some (hopefully short) time down the line.

I don't see the point of taking a hard line against intrusive DRM, then not releasing on GOG, seems totally nonsensical to me. SM2 should have been a day 1 release on GOG.

It will very likely come to GOG in a few months, there's quite a few Focus games already there, but it a huge shame this wasn't a day 1 release.

Multiplayer's integration would most likely get in the way of a GOG release. They'd likely also have to rework the Operations mode to allow for a more seamless solo experience

Yes, I know it can be played solo as per the leaked build, though it being heavily prone to crashing has severely limited my experience with it.

#1 source of Piracy is DRMed games

If you actually look at the sites distributing these files and look at the most popular downloads, almost all are hacked Steam games. Even when a DRM Free GOG version is available the version you download is a cracked Steam version.

Actual facts, as in information backed by verifiable data, show GOG games are a tiny minority of pirated games.

This belief people spend their time asking for GOG release so they can pirate the game is ludicrous, as all people need to do is wait 2 hours after a Steam release and run to "Jolly Rodger Cove" and download it.
