Will this game be DRM Free / on GoG?

[Uchiha]

Or are you having a Steam only release?

You would need to get some feedback from devs.

I am pretty sure such a small company cannot afford serious DRM. That is why their best way of defending their property is by delivering high quality (which from the videos and level of interest in the game and seeing how beta keys have VANISHED you can infer they did delivery quality already).

Taking the above into consideration, going to GoG would be actually beneficial to devs as it would potentially give them extra market, exposure etc. A lot of people prefer GoG to Steam.

I read somewhere the Devs said it'd be coming to GoG after early access. I'm trying to wait to buy it then, but I might buy it on Steam to hold me over.

Julie from the Numantian team posted on their blog:

''Yes, we will release it to GOG as well. It will be Early Access on Steam first.''

That will take months :(

Did anyone find something else? I would really like it to buy it on GOG, but I also dont want to wait longer then ~chrismas :/

Is the Steam version DRM free by any chance? I'd gladly buy it now, if only buying it through the Humble widget would also grant you a DRM free build..

I think they are asking if it can be played offline.

Actually, that is not true. Steam doesn't enforce its DRM on games distributed through the platform.

You can check the following lists if you want to see what games are DRM free on Steam:
http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games
https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_DRM-Free_Games_on_Steam

Obviously, thanks to the huge amount of games that are on Steam at the moment, I don't expect these to be up to date.

The only form of DRM on this game is steam itself as far as im aware, I'm actually Cool with that as a DRM as long as its beneficial to me, Steams ervers going down and never going back up isnt but hey...its possibly too big to fail now right? :P

You can play this offline by putting steam offline, there is no online requirement as far as im aware, my internet went off whilst i was playing the game....i kept playing the game i didnt even realise until i went to put some music on youtube on.

The fall of net netrality could drastically change the face of Steam.

How? Steam was just fine in 2015 before it existed, too.

As much as I prefer GOG over Steam, they sure lost a lot of my business by basically taking half a year + to release games I'm interested in. Heard quite a few mentions of GOG not being interested in publishing something from a number of developers, too - and these were guys whose games are well known among indie releases.

Welp, my money's already been spend in this regard, anyway.

That NN thing came out of nowhere, but since you've brought this up... the regulations existed prior to 2015. What changed in 2015 was classification of the internet as a common carrier (title 2) which allowed the regulations to be applied.

What's different now is those edge cases of people having netflix throttled prior to 2015 are going to be more common place as a lot of regions only have 1 choice of provider and they lost their only protection.

I cant see it affecting me so much in the UK as I'm not on the US networks unless the UK Gov decides to follow suit.

Don't look at it as a national issue. It's really multinational corps pushing their profit maximization ahead of everything else. The US is just the most convenient point to initially do so for a variety of reasons (not least of which, we got the best legislators you can buy! /s).

Unfortunately, the US is in a position to force such issues on a number of other nations (just look what happened in Scandinavia in regards to IP enforcement after the multicorp lobby decided to put money into it). At least current EU structure makes it as a whole somewhat more resistant to outright corporate manipulation, but that's a tiny sliver of hope to hang on.
