Soulkin: And if I get the boxed version now, can I register it to GOG somehow, or is that version steam-bound?
avatar
AstralWanderer: KS backers received an email from Larian telling them that the boxed version would require Steam unless they replied to request a DRM-free version.

So unless you hear otherwise from Larian themselves, it would be safest to assume any retail boxes will require Steam.
Thanks for your answer. Therefore I´ll wait for a GOG / Mac version.
Finally a gamecard!

But where is the release?! Never seen such a late release on GOG---8 o´clock in germany was the nightyest time I´ve ever seen!

As I've explained before, the game has been made available for download (with varying degrees of success) to Kickstarter backers only. Non-backers will be able to play the game around August 31st when Galaxy launches. There is no word as to whether or not we'll be able to pre-order.

Read page 12 of this post .. I don´t know all details but it seems the real release for us who didn´t help on KS won´t get a release till the end of august (I hope it does´t come to this)

EDIT: Odan was faster and can´t .... depost ;)

EDITEDIT; So Galaxy http://www.gog.com/galaxy is the OPTIONAL CLIENT, but we won´t get D:OS without it ..... lame ...

We have to wait until Galaxy? I have no desire to participate with Galaxy. If that is true. I never thought I would say it, but screw it. I might as well buy it from STEAM. Screw the Galaxy.
what's the problem, my friends? I've already downloaded the GOG installer a minute ago... GOG didn't make a mistake here, Larian has problems with delivering the codes...

The problem is not for the KS bakers...but for the non bakers who are forced to wait 2 months because of a useless client implentation

Wasn´t the main focus of the game the local coop mode? Why do we have to wait for Galaxy then?

Oh, and every site was referring 30th June as the release date, so I´m a little bit confused...

Nobody really knows why we have to wait on Galaxy being released. Most likely, this decision came from Larian and not GOG but who knows at this point.

I missed the Kickstarter so I was looking forward to buying Divinity: Original Sin when I got home from work today. The arrival of the game being delayed by a day or two is acceptable.

However, if GOG was planning to hold off on the release until August 31st they should have communicated this long ago. I would rather have access to the game now not have it delayed by the development of GOG Galaxy.

I sincerely hope G-Doc was given incorrect information and that the game will be available to the general public tomorrow. If that doesn't happen, I'm certain some people will bite the bullet and buy the Steam version over the GOG version.

This whole incident does not reflect kindly on GOG and their ability to effectively communicate with their customers.

EDIT: i having a feeling that within a few days GOG will be back peddling and groveling at the feet of gamers to forgive their poor judgement

Um....what the hell, guys?

You know what? I changed my mind. I'm gonna stick to the Steam key, I think. Good thing that the Early Acces keys remain valid. Maybe I'll get the GOG version when it's 75% off or something. >_>

...but please, don´t encourage anyone else to preferr the Steam-Version!
Even if it´s really delayed because of Galaxy we shouldn´t be harder than a fair judge. They still offer the only DRM-free version of D:OS and that´s the thing that counts!

BTW: I still hope that this is only the language delay as the Steam-Version will get an update tomorrow that will enable Frensh and German language and GOG just want to avoid the lost of sales due to the first impression of missing languages!

Actually, all the versions are DRM-free, even the Steam version (you can run it without Steam). This is why it's such a big kick in the head to GOG customers.

Let´s wait till tomorrow as that date is a regular GOG-ReleaseDate.
GOG had it´s SummerSale and I´m sure that Larian is smart enough to avoid the aftermaths of the SummerSale, so I thought of a release late at (european) night. But it didn´t happen.

And BTW: Things like this read like a big accident... (from Kickstarter-Site)
"-GOG keys will be sorted out tomorrow. I would like to say 2 things about this: up to last week the entire crew at Larian thought we were going to launch with Galaxy support and the only reason you can't redeem your GOG key is that your Steam key is in use. People who didn't use their Steam key can already redeem their GOG key."
