    No multiplayer, and no regional pricing. Also… no games, which’s not their fault to be fair, but like 90% of my library is not on GOG.

    I was curious what the actual percentage is after leaving this comment so I counted: 80% of my Steam library is not on GOG.

      These days I find I’m drowning in a deluge of game releases, so even filtering those down to prioritize the ones on GOG first is a form of curation that helps. Regional pricing doesn’t affect me, but I feel for you. And there are exceptions to the multiplayer problem on GOG, which is what makes it harder than if it was just a blanket bad option for multiplayer. I’d love to see GOG implement something that allows for truly offline implementation of their Galaxy backend so that devs taking the easy porting route can still say that their game is 100% DRM-free; as it stands, I’m writing off buying a game like MechWarrior 5 on GOG.
