Gudadantza: You do not believe a word you are saying

You are here for bebunking, period

You are don't understanding a word about those finantial report but you, as usual, triggers if some meat is fresh

If the the profit is negative some of you will be here like vultures
If the profit is positive some of you will be here because it is not enough, like crows

There we have the old GOG guard, the defenders of the roots.

Breja: Are you... ok? I don't really remember you ever acting like that before. Nor having such poor command of English, for that matter.
You are always questoning the quality of our english in an international forum. You are not Shakespeare, troll

Am I? I honestly didn't realise. If that's really the case, and has become aggravating, I apologise. If you pardon, I will mend. It's just that your last post was a bit... incoherent.

Anyway, I do hope you'll feel better tomorrow, maybe even realise you've been acting... a little nuts.

Gudadantza: The real fact is that GOG makes profit and what some of you can`t stand with it is exactly that

I took a screenshot of the page in question.
It's really not that hard to understand.
Now I patiently await being insulted as well.

I mean, it's really silly to run around like the sky is falling over a 0.2% loss. A profit would obviously be better, but as far as losses go, that's really minimal. As long as that doesn't continue indefinitely and it goes positive more than it goes negative, it's normal business. CD Projekt as a whole is still quite profitable.

tfishell: I doubt GOG managed to piss off enough people the past six months for it to really affect their financial situation.
I seem to recall they made an entire country of gamers "a tad upset" when they essentially
declared them "persona non grata" awhile back. Sure that country only made up maybe 4-5%
or so of sales, but i'm sure the extra money could've helped Gog right about now re: thier bottom line.

That´s terible
Easy fix to save on operating costs:
Discontinue all support and ESPECIALLY any development for Galaxy client, which in many instances (such as multiplayer modes) functions as a form of DRM, essentially, so it shouldn't have even been here in the first place.

They discontinued support for GOG Downloader; in spite of this, for a time users could still use it, while knowing it was unsupported (it was then removed entirely). Why not the same for Galaxy client?

What a cynic you are.

I believe a lot of people here is aware of that.

Your language expert wannabe thingies is always triggered when you do not have nothing to to say.

I will insist what I said long ago to you. learn more english and you will improve , try to understand others and you will be respected

What a band of toxics, for god`s sake-.

GOG will improve without the things I do not like

I never claimed to be an expert. I am only offering my opinion, which is what happens on a discussion forum.

Would you care to offer your opinion in response to mine: what would be wrong about discontinuing Galaxy support? (discontinuing, not even removing, like what happened eventually with Downloader)

My opinion is that GOG Downloader in no more, Period. Live with it
Discontinuing Galaxy would end in GOG closing or being smaller in the big game, Period. The balance here is near perfect between installers and the launcher. Those who are more hostile against the launcher are those who whant it removed because of their subjective phobias and that is unnaceptable.

Those experts in data and economics should have that in mind.

If that makes GOG less DRM Free for you and more poor, then go away and look for something better that fits your expectations

Okay. Doesn't seem to have much bearing on my point. I did mention GOG Downloader, yes, but the context is that I am asking why can't Galaxy be discontinued in similar fashion. I am not saying they have to bring back GOG Downloader (though I don't recall/understand why it couldn't have been left in "unsupported" format and still usable).

Gudadantza: Discontinuing Galaxy would end in GOG closing or being smaller in the big game, Period.
How. In my hypothetical, it would still exist for those who want it. They would be able to keep using it without updates. And from what I see from some Galaxy users, they prefer the old version of Galaxy, not the current one, anyway. You're going to need to explain this one more.

Thanks for the hearty laugh. I can't imagine there is a single offline-installer-only user on this site who shares that view. But yes for the client users it's awesome.

Gudadantza: [..]go away and look for something better that fits your expectations
What makes you think I haven't? When financially possible, I have supported other DRM-free stores even knowing the same or similar games were on GOG (meaning the other stores got my money instead). In some cases I have even bought a game I already owned on GOG again on another DRM-free store.

The not up to date offline installers are a minority, less than a minority, counted with your fingers. and for different reasons, and you know it. And We also know that if we talk a lie a million of times it will be real for those who want to believe. And the suspicions will be there

And if you do not want to support only GOG at least let it live.

FYI: unlike what some on social media may think or have others believe,
criticizing something(in this case, a business) doesn't cause it physical harm

Gudadantza: less than a minority,
Ok, you're doing this on purpose now.
I hate to get involved in such heated discussions, but I would like to say something:

GOG is an important marketing platform for CDPR. You won't give them up that easily, even if they make small losses. This is also due to the fact that in large corporate structures it is not at all unusual to maintain one or even several branches that are loss-making, as this may bring tax advantages.

If I remember correctly, the first 10 years for Amazon were extremely loss-making.

I personally stick to a saying that we use in Germany (maybe it makes sense in English, too): "Those who are declared dead live longer."

I wish you all a nice week, the weekend is approaching. :-)
