If you don't think any of the above situations apply, you can use this feedback form to request a review of this block. Contact your IT department and let them know that they've gotten banned, and to have them let us know when they've addressed the issue.Īre you browsing GameFAQs from an area that filters all traffic through a single proxy server (like Singapore or Malaysia), or are you on a mobile connection that seems to be randomly blocked every few pages? Then we'll definitely want to look into it - please let us know about it here. You'll need to disable that add-on in order to use GameFAQs.Īre you browsing GameFAQs from work, school, a library, or another shared IP? Unfortunately, if this school or place of business doesn't stop people from abusing our resources, we don't have any other way to put an end to it. When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers.
IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Scavenge for supplies, craft weapons, and face hordes of the infected. Roam a city devastated by a mysterious virus epidemic.
Most people who want DRM-Free offline installers know why they want them for practical reasons, ie, as soon as they are in your possession and backed up, there is literally nothing that can be done to remotely disable or alter them. GOG games are licensed directly, most other stores (inc Steam) it's the store services being licensed with the content "subscribed" to being an indirect privilege dependent on those services.Ģ.
Some people just get hung up on "but license means you own nothing" which is factually incorrect in this case.
So yes, the way it's worded legally is actually different for obvious reasons (DRM-Free games work without "services", DRM'd games do not). Fun fact - the word "subscription" or "subscriber" also doesn't appear in GOG's EULA even once (but 115x times for Steam).
If you actually read GOG's User Agreement you'll see stuff like "17.3 It seems very unlikely, but if we have to stop providing access to GOG services and GOG content permanently (not because of any breach by you), we will try to give you at least sixty (60) days advance notice by posting a note on and sending an email to every registered users – during that time you should be able to download any GOG content you purchased." ie, it's extremely obvious they regard "your content" (offline installers) are being very separate from "a license to play the game is dependent on the store / client / services" of other stores.
