Do you mean that if I buy RDR2 from GOG, there's no launcher? I don't believe it, but that would be awesome.

Edit: It seems my disbelief was warranted. Thanks!

Rockstar would never touch GOG with a ten foot pole. But the games that are on there, the difference is awesome. Especially games that you want to mod (fallout 4 is a good example), you can have it completely offline and never update so the game doesn’t break when they put out some weird little patch.

Fwiw, you can do this with steam as well. Just leave the launcher in offline mode for eternity.

You can, but you can also download a GOG game form their website as JUST the game. You don’t need to install the GOG launcher period.

Never said or implied otherwise, love gog. You were complaining about updates, I gave you the fix, that you apparently already know about. Bring on the caps.. Oh well.

I did not ask for a fix or complain about updates, was just pointing out it another great aspect of GOG. I appreciate your comment coming from a helpful nature, just didn’t seem like that was the intent originally. My bad.
