*shakes head*

Took GOG a moment to mess this up, takes an impressive amount of time to restore it, then another moment to screw up again.

My vote's also not counted, will wait to see if the original state of the wishlist will be restored before adding it back, though.



You might want to work on your weak google fu, then check again.



Add FireFlower Games; always and exclusively DRM-free, and carries quite a few titles that aren't here.

itch.io and humble are there, too. If you're taking a puritan approach, then we have GWENT, disqualifying you as well. If you quit trying to do things such as sneaking it onto our computers without more than small print on a page giving us a warning and telling us how it's still optional, maybe we'll question whether or not you're still trying to force it on us. There should have been communication, there.

So did the (original) vote count for the other wish list entry survive the restoration unscathed?

Still claims I've voted for it (I haven't).

Can we assume that "GWENT: Thronebreaker" will be Galaxy-free then?

And a good DRM-free multiplayer game would allow to set up own servers. Of course, they wouldn't be persistent, but one could still play a round of Gwent with friends. (With fixed card sets) ... But of course the real purpose of Gwent is making money by micro-transactions (a business practice that GOG used to scoff at). So of course setting up a private server for network play is not allowed. So the decision to make Galaxy mandatory for Gwent was a purely financial one. Not a technical requirement of multiplayer gaming.

But thanks for bugging the tech people until they restored the wish! I really appreciate that and I re-voted promptly.

And I really hope that Galaxy will become optional for Gwent as well, as soon as Gwent is out of beta. But I'll believe that when I see it.


And then there is zoom-platform. 100% DRM free and some good games. Granted, it's still small compared to GOG, but that's the way GOG started too. You're not as free of competition as you would like to be! ;-)

I don't know much about PR or marketing, but I don't think advertising yourself as "the only game in town" is such a great idea. I mean, even if it were 100% true, which it is not, it stil doesn't sound good for you to say so out loud. It sounds like "so what? you're gonna keep buying from us whatever we do".

Irrelevant if Humble mostly sells steam keys, fact is it still sells a lot of DRM free games. 65 pages of DRM free goodies it'd seem.

So what if Itch.io games are small & "way different than what you will find on gog"? There's no down side there. Hell, most likely a bonus.

You mention being DRM free, yet mention gwent, which clearly is not DRM free....Being beta is completely irrelevant, no idea why you even brought that part up.
Thanks, hadn't heard of this site before.
Bookmarked them :D

Fear can make people do rather odd things, like believe something is there when it is not.

No offense, but GOG has no one to blame but itself for how we feel about how reliable its stance on DRM is. Simply put, you (I mean GOG, not you personally) are still paying the price for the debacle with Galaxy installers and bringing the always-online Gwent here. And what was done to patch things up? Nothing. We're still waiting for the promised option to set classic installers as default, and when we ask a very simple question about whether the single player content in Gwent will be available DRM-free you yourself have to admit you don't know. I think you can see how none of this is doing wonders for our confidence in GOG.

I appreciate your position as only a spokesman for the company here, but please, don't try to imply that we're being unreasonable and ungrateful. It's condescending and obviously unfair.

No offence, but the rest of what you said in post #185 provides enough context for Breja's comment.

We're not forgetting that you're releasing games DRM-free, not at all, however, you should keep in mind that we're also aware that you're not the only ones.

And going back to topic, how long will the investigation, and hopefully restoration, of the lost votes take?

Fighting? You mean like WE had to do to keep Galaxy out of our offline installers? If gog had acted more like it used to rather than like steam the last few years maybe we'd give gog the trust we used to.
