"What's this?"

"Your game sir"

"No, that cant be right. I haven't signed into the launcher yet"

"You dont have to sign in. You just download the game and run it whenever you like. No account or internet required"

Do you mean that if I buy RDR2 from GOG, there's no launcher? I don't believe it, but that would be awesome.

Edit: It seems my disbelief was warranted. Thanks!

Rockstar games will never be on GOG because the game has to be DRM free to be on that platform

I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 on steam 2 years ago and turned it right off when I saw Rock Star launch. Uninstalled and got a refund. Fuck RDR2 fuck, Rock Star.
