The sad thing here is that it's really a missing phrase that's causing so much frustration.
Had I realized that I would've been interpreted so wrongly, I wouldn't have written that post because it would've been easy to foresee the kind of backlash we're seeing on this issue now and I would never knowingly put Larian in that position. Ask yourself what on earth we could hope to win from it ?
The purpose of my statement was to highlight that Dragon Commander is DRM free, that it offers you the ability to play with friends without having to log in to a central server even if your friends are on Steam and you on GOG.
But ok, it was a badly written and so to rectify the confusion we proposed GOG to give Steam keys to their customers so that they could log in on Steamworks too. GOG instead preferred to offer refunds to those that asked, which seemed a sensible solution too and that was that.
As suggested here, we are currently implementing a global chat channel which will allow players to find each other more easily, and I hope that we'll have that live soon enough.
Again, I'm sorry for the frustration that this may have caused, but it was not out of bad intentions.
