GOG Version of Skyrim?!

[ButchDiavolo]

I noticed Address Library AND SKSE64 have had updates for a "GOG version game version 1.6.659)"? Does anyone know what the heck this is? Has Skyrim had another update?

Oh great... another version. And we'd have to BUY it all over again. Sounds like a good idea to me...

I had the same questions, and I am pretty disgusted with this GOG version and the continued disenfranchisement of the modding community at large with all of these opportunistic partnerships-in-cash-grabbing. It's going to cause yet more disruption and confusion for mod users and certain mod authors.

But... but... no DRM! We'll be free! (/sarcasmoff)

The only thing wrong with this is the different update versions.
Mod authors aren't forced to support all game versions, and a lot of mod users already get confused with mod/game update versions.
I feel getting "disgusted" or angry over a game being available on multiple platforms is pretty weird.

It doesn't bother me that you think my position is weird.

Nevertheless, I find it annoying that we have yet another flavor of this game distinct from existing. It causes more confusion and creates noise all around (unless Nexus parses it out into another 'game', which doesn't seem to be the case). LE/SSE/SSE-GOG are effectively different games with incompatible runtimes. (and are on different dev branches)
