It's quite a pain to carry the PC case to my living room, and connect it to internet, then carry it back. I bought lots of RPGs from gog bec of this DRM-free method.
I have two questions to you:
Is an internet connection still required to play the game on my gaming PC? And can I use this service from europe, or service is limited to a region? |
I have to add though, for the games that do have drm, even the limited activation ones, gamersgate will always give you more activations for these. You're never running out of anything on there. Only thing is won't be able to play one copy of the same game on two computers at the same time.
Also, I believe you actually do have to be connected online to install games at all, even if you pre-download on the internet computer then copy the temporary files over to the other computer. There is a tiny gamersgate installer wrapper program that needs your gamersgate username/password information. The DRM info on the game pages is referring specifically to the game itself. This is only for the installation process though, there is no gamersgate client or program attached to the game itself-- so once installed you can go completely offline with it.
Edit: Just saw your added questions now. Gamersgate is based in Sweden, so it's very Europe friendly. Although there are some regional differences on some games-- mostly for UK and Germany.
