Should have called it the hype package.

Its absolutely useless, but definitely gets you in the mood to 'secure' that pre order

All the wallpapers are such low resolution
Only one set has 3440x1440 in.

Will Cyberpunk launch as DRM-free?

Yes. GOG will be the launch platform.

Aww, that sucks doesn't it..

I thought DRM-free doesn't lock you to a specific platform? All other games I've purchased from GOG are pure binaries and their respective game assets. No DRM, no launchers, no platforms.
I could upload them for the taking. I didn't. That's how I understand mutual respect.

I think you might be confused as to what DRM-free means. CDPR owns GOG, Of course they're going to launch it on their platform first. I think the next day it'll hit Steam and Epic.

Every platform is by definition, DRM, i.e. tool for digital rights management, i.e. no GOG, no play.
If the game demands a certain platform to run then it's not DRM-free.
I think you confuse DRM with copy protection, e.g. DeNuvo.

No, it isn't. Online shops are no different than brick & mortar shops. No buy, no play.

If the game demands a certain platform to run then it's not DRM-free.

So you think that a game made for PC should be expected to run on a MAC or Android otherwise it's a form of DRM? Short answer, no it isn't. Being DRM-free means that Digital Rights Management(a contradiction in terms if ever there was one) is absent from the title being sold. IE, if you buy a software title and it claims to be DRM-free then it should run whenever the user needs it to, without restrictions or limitations. This means no activation, no online presence requirement, no functionality that limits usage.

Copy-protection IS a form of DRM. You need to do some research on the subject as you seem clearly out of touch with the context of the subject matter.

Yes, it is. When buying from GameStop for example, they don't lock the game to be playable only if you sit in their store.
Now, put GOG instead of GameStop in the above sentence and see if it makes sense.

If a game is compiled only for a PC, it doesn't mean it has DRM. It means devs only care if their game runs on PC, not that it is locked for PC on purpose.

Let's assume for a moment I'm the mentally challenged one here. Now, let's head over to Wikipedia and look up DRM there, check the article and its sources.
Afterwards, let read all our comments again. I know I did. I bet it will feel kind of strange for you afterwards.

Are you deliberately trying to be a troll? Cause that's how this comes off. You're missing the point and the context.

Aww, that was adorable. Mentally challenged? No. Conceptually challenged, certainly..

Good idea;
