Hey, Um, What About Us?

[Störtebeker]

While the games on gog are drm-free knows anyone if Telltale maybe will also make the games drm-free here? Last time I searched the forum for this topic I had the feeling that there wasn't any plans nor some large demand for such a move.

I know that some or maybe all the free cd-versions are drm-free, but to avoid the shipping costs I would really prefer the same for the digital versions.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Yep if GoG handed out steam keys I'd think about buying from their site.

Meanwhile, I believe all of their DVDs from Tales onwards have been DRM-free.

[Darth Marsden]

I thought there was a CD check. I'm probably wrong though.

True, BUT, the Wallace and Gromit DVD requires you to activate it through the Telltale servers, since it's just the installers on a disc.

Off the top of my head...

SecuRom-powered CD Check

Sam and Max Season One
Sam and Max Season Two
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People


Installers on the Disc(aka Worthless Garbage)

Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures

DRM-free

Tales of Monkey Island(DEFINITELY is DRM-free, no disc check, have checked myself)
Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse

Unknown

Back to the Future(haven't ordered my DVD for some reason, presumed DRM-free)
Jurassic Park(don't own, presumed DRM-free)
Walking Dead(disc isn't EVER coming out)
Bone(don't own, probably disc check a la Sam and Max)

Come on Telltale, just release the same packages (at least the drm-free part) on your own site. Just the ones that are on the gog.com too.

It certainly would be a nice gesture for those who bought complete episodes for full prices.

Good research, but strike that one. There's no free Po&Pa-only game DVD for Telltale store customers ( ); and a PC retail DVD has not even been announced yet. It's just the consoles which get served.

I think Telltale should follow CDProjekt's and GOG.COM footsteps and do this

instead of banning people and removing all the death to DRM discussions

Too bad they have no CD-Keys to track such a thing.

I think that's a pretty good idea, myself, assuming it's feasible. Having said that, considering that Telltale's actually nice and the DRM is generally unobtrusive, I don't mind their DRM in my games.

It's somewhat feasible, since all the games up to and including Poker Night have activation keys.

I'd post that disorientation picture again, but it gets old fast.

Asking for DRM free products has never ever gotten anyone a ban or a deleted thread here. It's just the pirates themselves and the pro piracy people that fly out of here in a heartbeat.

In Walking Dead being connected to the net at least makes things interesting, what with getting the stats on global player choices at the end. I can deal with DRM if it can do something fun and/or useful.

Shouldn't have wasted it on me then.

It was a kindness; you were desperately in need.

Why not?!

Walking Dead(disc isn't EVER coming out)

Okay, I'm serious this time. Why aren't they going to have a TWD disc?

They are. Just console exclusive and isn't free for buyers... yeah.
