People keep repeating this, but some games on GoG have DRM: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/label_the_games_that_have_drm
That's not exactly true. Usually that only applies to MP when connecting to the hosted servers, not not when running locally or on self-hosted servers. That said, that should definitely be listed on the store page.
Mostly, but GoG also sells games that have DRM for SP, here's a thread about it https://www.gog.com/forum/general/drm_on_gog_list_of_singleplayer_games_with_drm/page1
That's lame. Fortunately most of those are merely cosmetics or rewards for doing something online, but that should still be called out on the store page.
