  Ok so how do you download the backup installer without an internet connection?

    I never said you could do that, so that’s irrelevant. Don’t move the goalposts.

    And to be fair, neither Steam nor Epic even allows you to download an offliner installer; GOG does.

      `So it doesn’t require the EGS Launcher? It doesn’t require any form of Internet connection to install, launch, or play?

      With all due respect, if the answer is “it does” to either one of those questions, then that’s still a very strong form of DRM.`

      Guess that GOG is a very strong form of DRM

        Not at all.

        • GOG does not requires its launcher to install, launch, or play a game.
        • GOG does not require an Internet connection to install, launch, or play a game.

        Of course you require an Internet connection to download the offline installer. How the hell do you expect to get it otherwise? For them to ship a disk to you? Lol. That’s not DRM; that’s a delivery method.
