Just a thought here, and sorry if it was mentioned, I speed read, but if GOG started to carry AAA games (other than the ones they already do) isn't it probable that many of those titles will start to carry DRM of its own? And if that happened, wouldn't that defeat the DRM-free purpose that is one of its main driving forces?
I'm not a huge fan of steam, however I have about $3k worth of games on my client. I like having my games in one place, having them auto-updated (and yes I understand patches can break things, but luckily this has only happened to me once or twice) and a save cloud. Steam has become slightly more relaxed in its TOS over the years (they used to ban your account if you had a fraud charge on it, now they just prevent you from purchasing anything else) and I'm not worried about them "going anywhere" or "flipping a switch."
On-topic: This hidden achieve thing is most likely something for halloween, and even if it pertained to something game-wise (which achieves don't count for anything so its not like GOG customers are missing out there) I am 110% positive that CDP (CDPR?) would patch that into all copies of the game. (minus the exclusive steam achieve things)

The point of GOG is that it's DRM-free, so those games would have to be DRM-free as well. I don't think people would be too happy if they suddenly allowed protected games in their store. So, it's doubtful they'll go AAA unless they make some deals with other publishers (like they're doing with kickstarter people, for example).
Re: the achievement, people are reacting this way because of the Summer Solstice achievement, which was a Steam exclusive. Hopefully everyone will get this new thing patched in, whatever it is. A super creepy Halloween quest would be so much fun

It's not like the achievements we have in the Steam version are "something to strive for". They're pretty basic like "Complete Chapter 2" and stuff nothing special.Adityathewarriorwithin said:ya CDP should introduce achievements ingame too, although they are not my personal complete focus I do like em popping up and do try to strive for them
