I got the alpha client a week ago. Waiting for that to update.
I signed up right when it was announced. I just received an e-mail, saying it was now available. When I click the link in the e-mail it doesn't even lead me to a webpage or anything. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
They do state "Your GOG Galaxy beta invitation will be sent very soon to the email address provided.", but I guess "very soon" can mean few days.
We don't need more competition in content delivery platform...we don't need any more segmentation! YARG! this is beyond annoying...

The prices are already within my budget, but do they do the crazy steam style sales? I can see my backlog exploding.
And yet on the other hand, GOG lets you buy only the missing games in your bundle and get the full discount.GOG has sales frequently but the caveat is that usually it's in a bundle and to get the full 75% off, you have to buy the full bundle. They do sell the titles piece meal but obviously the discount is less.
IS there a way to manually add older downloads to the client? All I'm seeing is a folder scan which only picks up the ones from the newer installer.

can play with people who own steam versions
is drm free and you actually own your game unlike steam
pretty sure we needed this.
im for DRM as long as it isnt archaic steam does DRM right, and you own your steam games, steam cant take your games away one you buy them.
Until they can.

we are not getting a new one, GOG has been there for years and the client is OPTIONAL.
in the words of the usder brazil..."until it isnt"
Seeing how DRM free and you play the way you want are some of their core value I wouldn't count on it ever being mandatory.
I refer you to post 167 about steams DRM...and it not actually even being DRM

As far as I know you cannot start a steam game without steam running. How is that not DRM ? (Granted there's the offline mode but it still launch Steam before launching the game).

Steamworks is DRM, and Valve have no issues with games having DRM on their store.
Not a single game sold on GOG has DRM of any sort, and I can't see them deviating from this. In the unlikely event they do start selling non-DRM free games, an alternative will pop up.
How is that a problem? DRM done right yes? ANd is game specific, liek i said steam does not require you to use DRM, is it up to publisher
Not when offline mode failed. It didn't work for me way back when. I haven't had an internet outage in years so I never tried offline mode recently.
So your saying you havnt tried it recently, using words way back when. havnt and havnt had internet outage in year? You made your retort completely useless and irrelevant just then, unless bugs arent allowed to be fixed and things can never change.

I shouldn't have to have any other program running to monitor what game I'm playing that I paid for is what I'm saying. It doesn't prevent piracy it just annoy your customers.
Sure am
Does anybody have a mirror link?
I think its just an email informing you of the service and the link to access the program is a separate email.
You understand there are laws that protect against that right...tin foil hat much? Not only that it would be shooting themselves in the foot business wise.
I was banned, and reinstated, from. my account. I couldn't play any of my steams games while banned. All the games I have bought and not one would play.

Valve changed that years ago, your account gets resitricted instead of locked so you can't buy new stuff but still play everything.
Offline mode works fine these days.
in the words of the user brazil..."until it isnt" Whats the point of an optional client to a booming PC insutry other than to cause confusion to incoming PC gamers with another addition of a client to the dozen of already there clients? Centralization of 1 major clients where the entire PC community can game, chat, cross talk like LIVE, or PSN is what is needed not a dozen different clients.
I'm quite happy for steam to have more competitionfrom people that aren't EA
Kinda regret buying W3 on steam instead of GOG, I actually don't have any gog games yet despite having had an account for like a year.
Where is the Download link? I can only sign up to the beta.
Check your library on GOG, the Beta just appeared for me.
Nothing for me ]:
