reaver894: I hope that is the case. (i have my doubts)

Maybe he will be polite enough to actually confirm or deny this

G-Doc: Look, guys - I don't know how to put it simpler to leave no room for confusion. The game will be available to KS backers for now, but without the online multiplayer component. The full public GOG.com release is planned for August 31, as our online platform GOG Galaxy should be up to support it by then.

I'm not sure about the Sunday thing. May wait for Monday, September 1st, or go with Friday, August 29. For all we know, Sunday release is also a possibility.
And I can't believe you can screw things so heavily! Find me please one customer who cares about some Galaxy now! Every responsible person of this decision should be punching each others nose from now till the full release on daily basis!

G-Doc: And just one post later, wiggle room is found. ;-)
I get this is meant in humor but perhaps not the best time to use it.

Wait, so just because Larian is waiting on GOG to set up their new MP platform, we need to wait two months for a non-KS backer single player DRM-free release? Furthermore, this just happens to be another one of the poster children for regional pricing on GOG.

Well, you can imagine the expletives that come to mind.

G-Doc: Hasn't this happen yet? I'll do my best to give you an update on that ASAP.
Are you being serious?

Do you think we'd all be bitching about this if we had access to the game?
Posted June 30, 2014
G-Doc, another question, will the game be available for pre-order?

I don't get why people should have to wait for an optional client to be allowed to buy the game on GOG. I just really don't get it...

Methinks this thread needs some appropriate music.

G-Doc: To the best of my knowledge Larian was to provide us with a build today, so the keys KS backers got from Larian can be activated. Hasn't this happen yet? I'll do my best to give you an update on that ASAP.
I have redeemed my GOG code, but the game is still not available for download.

SIr, i ask you to kindly go to hell. This remind me a lot of memories of my childhood watching FR3 and Benny Hill. Funny moments, i miss them a lot.

I'm too young to be old.

Slartibartfas: Ok, but then... Where is my dl? Redeemed my ks Code but no dl so far. Is ks release today or not?
Where do you have your KS Code from? I backed the game but did not get a GOG-key... I can't choose a GOG key on larianvault... :-(

The client won't be optional for all games. It will be obligatory for some multiplayer games that was already stated in the Gog Galaxy announcement. It seems now we are seing first bad effects of it or of its release.

Yeah, there is some trouble with the Larian Vault for many backers. That should be solved tomorrow, Larian claims.

Can you link to that? Because I seem to misremember that and cannot find it.

That's not very good. I don't really care about multiplayer much, but unfortunately didn't participate in this KS. Why can't it be available for all to buy now without multiplayer, and an update be pushed in August? I don't see the logic.

Agreed. As soon as this kind of thing became obligatory for any reason, then any and all claims at DRM neutrality go out the window. Games didn't used to need a client to go online, the game dealt with that itself.

It's just another Steam client, and that IS DRM.

G-Doc: EDIT: The expected release date for this title is August 31, sorry for not communicating that properly.
Why not release the Galaxy free version now, with direct IP multiplayer support as mentioned by Larian, and update it with support for Galaxy in August?
