in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
Is this like Steam or like GoG? Do i have to do anything further than to buy/download my game like run a "client"?

Are the downloads complete full executables or will i need to connect online to play, is real physical game media purchasable?

Do i own an offline version with free patches forever, or do i have to run a"client" to play and/or pay for game patches?

(Pardon the overlap of these Qs, but sometimes the meaning gets missed somehow in ppls replies.)

    You get a client, but it can be run offline. You can also run the games dirctly without opening the client. There is no DRM and it basically exists for easy updating and organizing.

    @JuliusBorisov @ThacoBell Ty both very much, the FAQ was everything, why i could not find it while on the site perplexes me, maybe because it was in the store, but i see it now and it answers my Qs. =)
