Sorry I posted this in other thread, I didn´t seen before this post. I will copy and paste my feedback here:
On my personal side if it benefits GOG in any way, and as huge consumer here with a library bigger that I could ever play, I will say why in the last few years I am buying much less in the website, and some reasons are surprisingly not related to any GOG bad management, but to the market itself, BUT may also bring some clear light about what was always my interest here.
Please take all this as constructive feedback:
Reasons why I still buy here:
- I don´t like the actual PC age, I like the golden PC age, and GOG has much of that.
- I don´t need a f... store browser to play the games, sometimes for me STEAM like UI are an advantage some others is NOT. Sometimes I just want to play a game over windows and that´s it. (Better without DRM but is not my main reason) In fact I am growing VERY TIRED of having half a dozen of APPs to load my PC games and is one of the reasons I barely play PC lately.
- Games that are really and still PC oriented, specially RPGs like Divinity, Pillars of Eternity, Disco Elysium... etc....and anything that smells old Baldur´s Gate style is a must buy for me here. (nBut not BG3, that I rather prefer a console version)
- Last but not less important, GOOD OLD GAMES, I instantly bought recently all the STAR-TREK classic releases, as I cannot find those games anywhere else... but be fast, because releases as QUAKE, STARWARS games like Racer or Jedi Outcast on consoles or other platforms should tell you that maybe your "niche" was the way to go.
Reasons why I am buying less here:
- Triple A games for me are a must have in consoles, I own a very high end MSI but I don´t like to play Triple A games anymore on PC. So Xbox Series X and PS5 eat my sales from here, and even from STEAM.
- Nintendo Switch literally made me stop buying INDIE games on PC.
- My game libraries are way too big, In the last few years I became way more picky.
