Yeah, that’s stopping me from getting it. This was the first game I played after getting my first graphics card, and I was really hoping to enjoy it without this BS.

I vaguely recalled DoW was a Gamespy Arcade game so did a bit of googling
Been more than a minute since I tried DoW online but other games of the era basically used Gamespy Arcade as a drop in server browser. So if they were just switching to Steam/GoG for that, it really depends on what kind of LAN support those packages have.
So… annoying but doesn’t seem unique to this release?

Word in forums is that this definitive edition doesn’t have LAN, a feature that the game had before Steam.

Damn. The original was (to me) the highlight of many, many lan-parties.
