GOG is not exclusively DRM free

GOG have CD-key locked multiplayer in a large proportion of the games that support multiplayer. So contrary to their claims, GOG is not completely DRM free in reality.

I'm amazed that they've been able to get away with their false advertising for so long. Just shows how much nobody cares.

It's an area where most consumers don't show much of caring, since it's generally understandable why online-based services are tied do some form of DRM such as a CD-key that can be used to prevent or minimize abuse.

I have tried rephrasing the DRM-free section a bit to cover this as well. For applicable titles that requires some form of DRM for online-based features, a note in the availability table on the game-specific article must be made.
