Time to rip and tear again, as DOOM Eternal has arrived on the DRM-free store GOG from id Software / Bethesda Softworks LLC.

Nice to see GOG continue to get some bigger releases, better late than never. Hopefully sometime soon we'll see DOOM: The Dark Ages arrive as well to complete the modern trilogy.

As for any forced logins or DRM, since it's GOG it shouldn't need any of that. The GOG store page notes: "The GOG version of DOOM Eternal does not require a BethesdaNet account. The startup login popup can be skipped by double-clicking Esc button". However, they also note: "Access to Cosmetic Pack DLCs in offline mode requires launching the game via GOG Galaxy at least once".

Be sure to check out the GamingOnLinux guide for GOG games on Linux / SteamOS. Seems like GOG Galaxy itself will eventually come to Linux though.

the Steam version technically doesn't require a Bethesda account either, all you need to do is enable Steam Offline mode before launching (can be disabled again afterwards) and the game will be playable just fine
