Regarding the No More Heroes release

There is no upgrade expansion for #NoMoreHeroes 3 on #GOG, so if getting the whole trilogy, I would suggest following this to not have a surprise expense later on:

I second the comment about hoping that it isn't not a Faustian deal in the thread I found about it.

Also Iirc, besides Xbox, Discord and Google were already options for a while, and Facebook is no longer there as a login option it seems.

This can't like just be a coincidence right? I feel like all of those symbols in the same tagline suggests something more than just coincidence.

The short version, received through newsletter:

Previously, it seemed as relevant as Discord Nitro, so imo it's good they give something more tangible and preservable/not as easy to nuke with a few clicks. Plus not as dependent of Discord. =D

Also, in the full update, they mention "growing and nurturing the community", and though they say "with a particular emphasis on GOG Patrons", considering how stale the forum can be, I wonder if they'd be considering some form of fediverse integration too.

As I would like to see GOG officially joining the Fediverse, I have created a feature-wish entry on their website: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/join_the_fediverse

If you find it a good idea, maybe you can support the entry. Thank you and keep enjoying your DRM-free gaming :)

Hi everyone!

Due to my Playstation 4 version of Wolfenstein the New Order being now only in german after an update, I sold the game and bought it again to replay it on my Steam Deck through Heroic.

I'm enjoying the game as everything works perfectly except that I'm getting no achievements even if my playtime is synchronized to GOG.

Apparently, even on Windows people are having this problem: https://www.gog.com/forum/wolfenstein_series/new_order_achievements_broken/?search=achievements

So in hope of an Idea, I'm turning to Lemmy even if I don't have much hope. Apparently downgrading the version of the game could help, but I can't get a confirmation if it would mean starting from scratch again or not.

I'm running the 1.0.0.2 hotfix version of the game.

Edit: downgrading to 1.0.0.2 through Heroic worked

If I had to take a guess, they first released some smaller FFs (in comparison) to avoid turning their data center into an atompunk setting. e.e"

So I have a GOG acc been a few years and unsubscribing was the first thing I did and they never bothered me, and out of nowhere the other day I received some newsletter about promotions and shit (not even stuff on my Wishlist) and I figured it's some reset with new ownership or whatever, I received an email about new policies a few days prior talking about how they are not connected to CDPR anymore and so... anyway, I unsubscribed, and made sure every notification was turned off, and just now I received another newsletter email...

Now i am someone whos a Huge Fan of DRM Free Gaming (well im in GOG Community go figure :P) and basically what i was always wondering as as to why DRM seems to be so popular still among Gamers considering StarForce and such? >.>

DRM Free Gaming is probably mostly a Thing that probably comes into Old Gamers Minds more than newer ones considering that StarForce and SafeDisc are more or less RetroDRMs that i doubt many Newer Gamers cant phatom really? >.>

But what surprises me the most is that the Voice arent "louder" for even just removing Basic Denuvo after 6 Months off Steam or so >.>
Like for me itd be honestly fine to make a Trade off them just having Denuvo on a New Release for 6 - 12 Months and then removing it honestly as itd love to buy Games such as the Persona Games instead of having to emulate them honestly :P
Where i was wondering as to Why is GOG not the most Popular Gaming Platform?

Maybe it'd interesting to ask them about enabling either/both functions?

They're already part of the fediverse to some extent through Bluesky, so it doesn't seem too far fetched for them to be more open about implementing such functions. And with the leadership change, maybe even doing something in a timely manner would be in the realm of possibility.

Probably will make a post myself which I'll be linking here.

Out of many games, Final Fantasy titles were the least of my expectations to see on GOG. If you know Square Enix, you surely understand.

Anyway, this is a great day for DRM-free. 4 of the FF titles are finally here. Hopefully these are baby steps from Square Enix.

• Final Fantasy III (3D Remake)
• Final Fantasy IV (3D Remake)
• FINAL FANTASY IX
• FINAL FANTASY VIII - REMASTERED
