Glad the complete edition on GOG is spared from this bullshit, and I hope GOG pushes hard against this kind of stuff on their store.

There was a lot of noise surrounding GOG a few months back about something like that. GOG was going in that direction but had to pull back/remove the game(?) to due backlash.

Hmm, I thought it was more recent, but it sounds about right!

I agree with that stance, if a game doesn't work when the service is pulled or if the system is offline, then it doesn't belong on GOG.

Yeah, it's why I always choose GOG over Steam when I have a choice, even if it costs slightly more.
