Quoting: pd12Nice link to Witcher 2 on GOG =)
Unfortunately since I already have it on Steam and aren't loaded, I think I'll pass on supporting GOG on this one.

If you have the Steam version already, GOG offers you the game for free: https://secure.gog.com/witcher/backup [External Link]

Just installed the GOG release and the patch from VP. It runs great with everything on max and Ubersampling disabled (using Nvidia Geforce GTX 680). But I didn't test it extensively yet.

My reason is straightforward, I avoid closed source OSes, and Linux has the best support for gaming amongst the open ones.

If they require the originals not because of legal limitations, but because their version can only work when original data is present then why can't they release it without restrictions? It won't work for those who don't have the original anyway.

Quoting: fleskWould be nice if they found a way to distribute it DRM free to though. The original isn't on any DRM free digital stores that I can find though, otherwise they could have made it a requirement to own the original before being able to download the remake.

You can buy the original on disk on E-bay for quite reasonable prices. So I wonder if that can satisfy their requirements for a DRM-free copy of their remake.

Yeah, but how would they verify that you own a genuine, legally acquired copy?

No idea. The whole concept of DRM is a fallacy and this case just demonstrates it. If they really want it, may be people can provide them with a scan of the CD cover which should have some unique ID or whatever.

From the FAQ:

Our intention is simply to bring the best version of Bloodlines, along with proper modding support, graphical enhancements and improved mechanism where needed.
Our plan includes of releasing the game once it’s completed, both as a standalone build and as a Greenlight title, being part of Steam’s integration. You will be required to own a copy of the game in order to install any given versions, as some contents are mandatory to be converted in order for the game to work.

Sounds like Steam only plans. Not very encouraging.

Quoting: toniIt's all a matter of which version of ogl you want to target, and they're targetting 4 core.
If it was me, i would target to 4.3 CP, you have can follow AZDO there with all needed in core :D

That's exactly what I'm saying. He didn't say they target 4.4 core profile. He said "OpenGL 4 core profile" which is ambiguous and can mean any 4.x.

What does OpenGL 4 core profile mean exactly? Doesn't every revision (like 4.1, 4.2, ... 4.5) have a newer core profile?

Quoting: commodore256Do you think any of these games will be back? Who knows, the publisher might reconsider or be bought by another publisher that would comply with GOG's policies.

They can return when contracts between their developers and retailers will expire. Then there will be no one to demand regional pricing, so developers can put games back on GOG.
