First world morality police, I’d rather not have this on GoL, but, apparently, it isn’t possible. Pity.

The developers of Armello are facing a bit of a backlash over the DLC not coming to GOG

Quoting: Mountain ManThat would just piss off players who had bought the DLC and fragment the multiplayer community between the "haves" and the "have nots". League of Geeks is obviously trying to avoid this.
And throwing the whole chunk of community out in the cold is not doing that, sure.

Quoting: EhvisIt makes perfect sense.

If all the content is contained within the game, then the DLC is basically just a validation key. Which is DRM by definition and therefore incompatible GoG.
Or they could’ve made it so characters in a network game are limited to what both players have (and having actual content in DLCs, duh). Still better than that.

Ok, I am genuinely surprised.

GOG's definition of “soon” is pretty weird.

Quoting: Mountain ManI'm not sure what you're saying. DRM isn't meant to stop piracy, it's meant to prevent "casual" copying. It adds a little bit of inconvenience so that the average consumer is more likely to buy the game/movie/book/whatever than they are to simply get a "free" copy from a friend, and this works as intended for the most part.
It does not work. Hitting TPB and downloading whatever is already faster and don't require you to jump through numerous hoops. All copyright holders manage to do is to throw their own money into a black hole. Well, that and whine to pass more laws that encroach on human rights while shedding crocodile tears.

Quoting: Mountain ManUnfortunately, it's unrealistic to expect major corporations to suddenly embrace the open source mindset and basically place their revenue at the mercy of honest consumers.
They already do. Those who don't pay don't, duh.
