I’m trying to understand, since it’s DRM-free, can I buy it and share with many people so they can play it on their PC? Or there’s something that prevent me to do that?

Does it mean that pirating GOG games is easy as transferring to other machine?

If so, I wonder why pirate sites like FitGirl still use cracked Steam version of games, why don’t just share GOG version?

    Note that you can share games from GOG, but it is illegal probably everywhere where GOG is available and if law enforcement ever catches on, you’re fucked.

    Afaik this is not happening right now, but there’s nothing stopping GOG from poisoning your downloads in a way that ties all copies to your account

      Surely someone out there is paranoid enough to be wiresharking constantly. Sony games get hit hard in GOG reviews for telemetry that I’d probably never think twice about.
