I would never buy another game. I hate sushi.

what if they cooked it first? :P

Cooked games? Hm, would be something new. Maybe the "killer app" for GoG!

I could go for some Kentucky Fried Freedom Force. Secret of Monkey Burgers? Day of the Tentacle Taco?

They send you the file specs and you print it yourself on your 3-d printer.

Doesn't get any fresher than that.

Day of the Tentaco? I`d buy this! I already own a portion of Chilli con Carnage here.

I'm in!

Did you notice RoboCop is the new Kentucky Fried Chicken spokesman.

I AM TOTALLY SERIOUS!

GOG should open a classic games themed restaurant. DRM-free food! Low res recipies! 16-bit spices! And you could give tips to the waiters by telling them how to solve puzzles in old point & clicks!

Talk about a marketing strategy! This should get all the gaming media attention!

Die Heringe stecken immer so zwischen den Zähnen...

Yeah, I did. But I guess nothing can suprise me after that DC crossover with Col. Sanders Corps, that includes Koln-El from Krypton.

GOG changed over the years from releasing good old games into releasing mediocre new games. With the Witcher as a sole exception. And maybe Strategic Command.

I've once checked regulary on Tuesdays and Thursday on GOG, just to see wich great old game they've just had released.
That stopped many month ago, when GOG quit on releasing great old games.

I would waste a tear if GOG would close its doors. Not because of GOG today, but because of what GOG once was back in the past.

Heck, I even would have gifted some money every now and then just to help GOG to be able to keep all these good old games running.

But they've sent a clear message: they don't care about what made them so great. They've grabbed for more money, more releases, more customers (looking for new games).

And if that would be their downfall, well, as described above: Yes, there would be some tears. But surely not for those who pushed the company into a "Steam light" system, but for those who did the footwork, building this company, that once was so awesome.

Having said this, I have to add that I wish GOG all the best for the future, hoping that they turned the wheel long before the situation went truly bad.

I was joking, but there was a glimmer of hope behind the humor. It would be nice if GOG member numbers reached a point where they could approach, if remotely, that of Steam's vast user base, in which case then a CEO of a company that makes storage drives would indeed notice if those users rush out to patronize his business en masse.

Anyway, here's hoping that GOG withstands these latest less than ideal financial reports and that it eventually emerges from these troubles a more robust company. That's more likely to happen than for it to ever carry the No One Lives Forever titles.
I've quite enjoyed many of the new releases on GOG, especially Runestone Keeper, Darkest Dungeon, and FTL: Faster Than Light, two of which I've played for several hundred hours. Though they're all more independent as opposed to AAA titles, I find them no less (and often more) entertaining than games with vast development studios and 8 figure budgets.

Not the dumbest idea.

Call it the "GOG Secure Cloud" or something suitably sarcastic, buy drives off the shelf, put a colourful FCKDRM sticker on them, preload them with users' GOG libraries and ship them out to people at a substantial premium. Viable option for people with slow internet, entertaining gimmick, and potentially a little extra income.
