Slitherine

When I buy stuff from the GOG sale and go to multiplayer I don't have to type a key. Does this mean if I buy from GOG I am saved from all the key hassle in the future? Keys are such an archaic system.

gog works the same as steam and embeds the key into the installer, as far as i know etc

then again once a key is imputed into the site version, it's never asked for again

"site version" What do you mean?
When I download the installer from Matrix or Slitherine I am always asked for a key.

yes, to install you need a key, but after that it's not needed, it's the only protection in there, the key etc as once installed, only the system saves it, so upgrading or online etc, it' hardly ever asked for again

Each time I download a patch or re-install a game a key is asked for. How have you skipped this?

i install a admin, the key is always saved into my account registry, when i patch, my system automatically puts the correct password into the line, so all i do is press ok on the serial part

Sounds too scary for me.

each to there own

Could an employee give an answer for this?

Zak is an official moderator. GoG versions generally do not need the user to enter a key, as stated. Matrix versions updates always find and pre-fill the key and so it does not need to be entered other than on first install.

Also, you cannot use a Matrix/Slitherine update versions in the GoG version of the game.
The GoG versions pf the game are updated by the GoG client.

I downloaded a game without gog galaxy though. Does this mean you will not be uploading possible patches without galaxy?

sorry i have no knowledge on how GOG managers there patches, but any game on GOG from any part of the group will always have the latest patch provided by the The Slitherine Group

If you have purchased the game on GoG store, then all the patches can only be downloaded by GoG client.
The patches you find in the member's account are only for the Slitherine/Matrix stand alone version.

This is not true.

Gog patches can be downloaded as well as stand-alone, offline installers from download section on GOG's website.. You don't need to use Galaxy (GOG client) to install them. I've patched so far in this way my Gladius: Relics of War (as well as Sanctus Reach) from GOG and never used Galaxy to do so.

Just a clarification as we seem to be speaking about different things.
What I'm trying to say is that our game patches (downloaded from our member's area), cannot be used in the GoG stand alone version or the Gog client (Galaxy) version.. GoG stand alone version and the Galaxy version are different from the Slitherine/Matrix one.

I didn't mention anything about updates on Slitherine's website. I was writing only about GOG and referring only to part about GOG, to be more specific, about this fragment:
"If you have purchased the game on GoG store, then all the patches can only be downloaded by GoG client."

This statement is not true, due to the reason I've explained (possibility to download stand-alone updates - as well as updated installer of the entire game, depending on needs).

You don't need GOG galaxy to download anything.

Could an employee give an answer for this?

An answer for what?
