You can easily disable auto-patching in Steam...and a DRM-free game on Steam can be played without even letting the Steam client run. That's the whole point of the topic, you know...
Oh they changed it? Last time i "allowed" STEAM to go online it turned back on... what means you have to turn off auto patching every time you start steam.
But correct me if they changed this... anyway.... its still a platform to screw up costumer rights (in my opinon) and no social "features" can cloak that
for me....
Is that so? I was sure there was a statement at the conference that you NOT NEED THE GOG Client at all for the game....
what intents its not bound to GoG that tight as STEAM does it with the games ....
still might be bound. I won t go further in this because it might end up in sensless bashing...
You know... i still remember how it is to have the feeling "to OWN" the games you buy even if its still only the license
So there is definatly NO REASON to buy it over steam... what cuts out that feeling and in my opinon your right as customer
(right to own things you pay for
)
Anyway, this is not an "I hate Steam thread" and shouldn't be abused for trolling. The question was whether the Witcher 3 version on Steam has any DRM or not (and I exclude "being on Steam" as DRM here).
I checked that list of so called "DRM free Steam games". Installed Trine 2 and Half Life 2 and uninstalled Steam. Unsurprisingly no of them launched
Should say it all.... YES DRM FREE W3 will get DRM if you go for STEAM
No furher questions your highness
I sense this will be a good thread.
Are you entertained? I hope so my lovely panda <3
