dispute with H&D2 on GoG

Hello folks

I would like to discuss the sale of our favorite game to GoG.com:

We had a dispute with Shay about whether it's worth buying H & D 2 on GoG ....

is there any guarantee that the game on the GoG is not a pirated copy? and whether they legally sell it (I understand that this is stupid), but I do not want to simply spend 9 dollars if I buy it ..

I sent an email to copyright owners (2k) the answer was that they do not have information whether the sale is legal, and what needs to be addressed in support of GoG.



I just want to close this issue because the game is in 2003, and really licensed copies are almost gone.

Thank you for attention

If I would have to guess I'd say GoG copies are legal. If not they would have to use a key generator for the license keys and soon buyers would run into "key already in use" messages if they go online. (yes I know GoG sells the game mostly as single player game, but I am sure some buyers would try to find out if they can still play online.)

Selling a pirated game would be a very stupid move by GoG because for a few dollars profit they would risk huge problems and fines. So I don't think they would risk it.
