I am personally in favor of our curated approach. I think it adds a hidden, in a way, mark of quality to any game released here. I like to think of us as boutique rather than a bazaar.

Yes, we might miss some great games but, in the end, we are human and we do what we think is right by our community and that's why we personally review the games before they make it onto our store front. This system isn't perfect but which system is?

I think our curation allows us to give a game a lot more marketing and exposure to our audience rather than just dumping a slew of games of variable quality and saying "There's your weekly dump of games, now give us your money."

Also, having a non-curated secondary store front wouldn't exactly inspire confidence in both our clientele and any potential partners plus it would just look really tacky.

Haven't had the chance to, to be honest. Too addicted to PosChengband atm :)

Zrevnur: How about letting the clientele speak for themselves?
I am one of your customers. I would very much prefer a 2-tier system: A curated first tier and a second tier which is not curated.
The primary advantage would be access to games I otherwise could not get here.
Also: The way you are currently handling things does not inspire confidence. See the "defcon" thread. You would have an obvious instant improvement for problems like that: Downgrade the game to tier 2.

Edit: I am strictly against the encroachment of DRM into GOG games and the second tier should not be abused for that. So IMO downgrading is better than pretending that nothing is wrong - but it is not suitable as a permanent solution.
The community already does speak for itself via the check-out page :)
