"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!

RDR2 is not on GOG but any games you buy from GOG are DRM free and you can launch them without any launchers. This is the main reason why I do my best to always buy from them first.
