This post describes my feelings almost exactly.

I gave up buying PC games years ago when they all seemed to require me to go online and/or install Steam even though I'd bought a disc. It's only recently I discovered GOG, loved their DRM-free policy and started buying again.

Right, I'm back! What did I miss?

Got banned for a whole week for referring to GOG as spineless cunts, which to be honest, is one of the nicest things I've ever said about them, so I don't really get their reaction.

While I do agree with most of the above, I'm pretty sure "if and when GOG do finally go too far" in this context is a futile notion as it implies there is some obvious, common, objective limit they would have to reach. Every person has their own subjective limit as to how much BS they're willing to take, as well as their own subjective definition of what counts as BS in the first place. The critical mass required to affect change is frankly impossible to measure without hindsight, but likely much, much higher than what any forum thread can ever reach.

My personal take on it is they HAVE been going too far for a few years already, and I'd be protesting in silence by now even without this thread. My involvement herein is just a (possibly futile) attempt to raise some awareness of it, which from my PoV is about the best I can do.

Tbh, the main issue of that list I care most about is Devotion....oh, and i'd also like to see the DRM from NMS and Absolver removed(not the games...the DRM), if possible.

If they want to give little "carrots in a stick"(such as the 2077 skins and other giveaways and etc) to get people to move to galaxy I don't mind....as long as they don't make galaxy mandatory, that is.

Same with epic....as long as they keep that stuff to galaxy I likely couldn't care less.

Feel free to add me to the list of those sympathetic as well, btw.As I said in another thread, I am ok with them being behind the galaxy versions....mainly as GOG only keeps the latest versions for their offline installers on the forums, and sometimes new versions can have bugs.

I say let galaxy users test em out first for a bit, and then bring em to the forum users.....I can wait. :)

Agreed...the new stuff anyways....at least the old style "drm" of code wheels was more entertaining.

It's pretty crazy to look at the GOG Twitter, at their social media manager trying to tweet new stuff and create excitement about it while at the same time constantly ignoring the replies regarding Devotion. So that's how it's going to be from now on, huh, GOG.

yeah, wonder why they hired a twitter addict

So basically doing his/her job. The Twitter guy/gal job is simply to post news, no to comment on decisions he/she has no power and probably no knowledge over.

is that a job?:O

Imo it is akin to(if not actually a form of) Stockholm syndrome for some such users....they've developed a "bond" with the company and store that "clouds" their thoughts on what GOG does sometimes.

no, twitter and facebook posts appear by magic. you need to collect a phonix wing, blood of slug with three legs and performe the rite of Anshinkte. then the posts appear.

It was likely mainly PR marketing for the most part....or the "old guard" at HQ slowly sold their principles for money.

good cause i wouldnt pay for those

ah, no you can't buy them. that destroys the magic. you need to harvest the ingridiences yourself, and perform the rite, bearfotted. it is usuallly the task of the CEO of a company to do this

Unless it's Marcin's 10 years old nephew that does it for free then yes it's a job.

He's just trolling threads even remotely tied to the devotion topic. In such topics i'd recommend paying him no mind(and that's the same advice staff offered as well, btw).

Well said....agreed 100%

=-=-= This post is a joke....seeing as you were so critical of gog for removal of the GOG DLer for many months.

Also imo it shows you are likely only interested in criticizing GOG when it affects you.
