No Gods or Kings or DRM.

Update: Classic versions of Bioshock and Bioshock 2 are now available. If you already own Bioshock Remastered or Bioshock 2 Remastered, you can download classic versions directly from your GOG library.

BioShock™ and BioShock 2™ Remastered are finally available DRM-free.

The legendary shooters emerge from somewhere beyond the sea, dripping with that deliciously claustrophobic atmosphere of decay, corruption, and human ambition gone wrong.
Widely considered as the gold standard for story-driven shooters with light RPG elements, they have been remastered to feature higher resolution textures and models, director's commentary, and several other additions that ensure time will never wash them away.
Pump yourself full of plasmids, pump your enemies full of bullets, and dive right back into Rapture's beautifully rotten halls.

tfishell: I'm mostly concerned it ends up being an empty promise like Nuclear Throne's missing Galaxy features or Empires Dawn of the Modern World multiplayer.
It'd be a good reason for me to start thinking twice about buying games on GOG. Seriously.
I would like an answer from one of the blues on whether or not Bioshock 2 Classic will still have the multiplayer or will it be stripped out like the Remastered version?

This question was asked before by another user and I didn't see an answer.
Bumping this. I still would like an answer to my question ^

Multiplayer is still working in "original" Bioshock 2. I don't know though how much is it integrated with "steamworks" features.
It's been a month.
If I was an optimist I would say they were ironing out the bugs that were left in the games and enabling multiplayer for BioShock 2 original. But what are the odds of that happening.
We are wating, GOG, on the Classic. So where is it?
any news/update, on how long it will take for the classic versions to be available?
Well, 'at a later date' is intentionally non-specific. So it was to expected, that the classic version would be added 'Soon(TM)' and not actually soon. Expect the release just after all forum bugs are fixed! ;-)

Unfortunately Bioshock 2 is not enjoyable at all in the remastered version. Crashes galore kill the game and the more the game progresses, the more frequent the crashes become. (Maybe scaling with the number of enemies) It's really annoying!

This is one example of a thoroughly botched remaster!

The disappointing part is the original crashes just as often. In both versions the sound mix is off due to the last patch the game had changing it. I've also experienced an audio bug that makes sounds cut out when there's many which the remaster neglected to fix. Absolute trash.

GOG.com: Note: The classic versions of both games will be added as a free bonus at a later date.
Any word on when this will happen?

Entries for the originals just appeared in my library. They are currently empty but I'm guessing they will show up today.

It happened the same to me...
I hope is not an error.
