Lesser Blight Elemental: I'm not sure that GOG management realize how dependent they are on the goodwill of their core userbase. They're not Actiblizz, they don't have multiple exclusive games that millions are addicted to. They don't even have exclusivity on CDPR games. They're desperately trying to push Galaxy as a Steam competitor, and after this past week, I have no doubt they're willing to sell out even their core principle of selling DRM-free games. In fact, they already have. So I'm done. Whatever games I was going to buy on GOG, I'll get them on Steam or elsewhere instead, just out of spite. Clearly it doesn't make a difference, since I'm buying from opportunistic vultures without principles either way.
Elmofongo: Why go to Steam then if they are no different. All spite is gonna do is make you feel good about yourself in the short term. You can't be spiteful forever.
I beg to differ. It is a reoccurring form of deliciousness being able to come back to the same bad state of affairs and twist the metaphorical knife a little for every time through stubborness it remains an unchanged state.
If someone will treat you poorly and never take the hint that just because you can't change that doesn't make it right; then it doesn't mean you can't get something out of making them constantly on the backpedal for it in every interaction your forced to make in exposure to the consequences of their poor form.
I call it cathartic reprisal.
In the game 'the evolution of trust' it is represented by the little cowboy hatted fella; who will work together with you, until you double cross him and then it's all down hill for you even if it costs him the game because at the real heart of things your a bad person and should feel bad.
May all your victories be pyrrhic.
