Galaxy, a new platform for the DRM-free game store.
This video explains
how this entirely optional client will work, which is based on their focus on
freedom of choice, saying this will allow GOG.com and Steam players to game
together. Here's word:
During the CD PROJEKT RED and GOG.com
Summer
Conference, GOG.com ushered in a new era of DRM-free gaming with the
announcement of GOG Galaxy,
its brand new technology that places unparalleled freedom over online play and
connectivity back in the hands of gamers. With this an entirely optional
platform, players can dive into online multiplayer portions of their favorite
games, while enjoying single-player anytime they please without needing an
internet connection. GOG Galaxy is designed to be a platform-agnostic online
solution, allowing GOG.com and Steam players -- with more platforms to be added
in the future -- to game together. An optional client will be introduced later
this year to allow for easy game updating, and GOG.com has already begun working
with developers to implement the technology in their games.
