It's threads like this that remind me that there'll never be a Sacrifice 2... I'm gonna go kill people now .
How many of you agree gog.com needs to release more video games each week for sale?
Well, I didn't take a formal count, but if the responses in this thread are indicative of the overall gog membership, it appears the answer to your question is not that many.

SCPM: It also isn't so much the quantity of the titles as it is the selection. Consider this review of GOG from PC Mag:

mrkgnao: Embarrassingly misinformed and biased review.
How so?

Potzato: If you are spending more time buying games than playing, you are doing it wrong.
Crap. I've been doing it wrong for a while now...
Man, one slow week and people start putting on the tinfoil hats :P
Depends on the games they'd be releasing. More classics? Absolutely. More AAA? Sure. More Indies? Meh.

tfishell: How so?
For example. misinformed:
"Old games are almost the entirety of GOG.com's selection":
- 31% of the games released this year were day one releases.
- An additional 13% of the games released this year were less than one year old.

"Besides The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt $59.99 at Dell and a handful of other titles, you'll be hard-pressed to find software that isn't at least five years old"
- Almost 400 (not counting DLCs and premium editions) titles is hardly a handful.

"almost everything costs $9.99 or less. In fact, Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights II: Complete, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are just three of the very few games on the service that cost more than $10"
- More than 250 games (not counting DLCs and premium editions) cost more than $10. Hardly very few.
- Planescape: Torment costs $9.99



For example, embarrassing:
"titles [from?] the last two decades. Many computer games from that period became difficult to run in Windows XP and later versions of Windows, so GOG.com delivers them in DOSBox format":
- How many DOS games were released in the last two decades, regardless of whether you count it from 2001 or 1995?

"contemporary PCs (as well as Linux and Mac machines)"
- So PC Magazine believes that only machines running Windows are Personal Computers?



For example, biased:
"Cons: Must download the separate GOG Galaxy desktop client for chat features":
- Regardless of whether this is true or not, the Steam review on the same website doesn't have a con that reads "Must download the separate Steam desktop client for all features"


I stopped reading after four paragraphs. This reads like a review from 2012 that has been quickly edited with a few new details.
I also kinda like fewer releases a week.
It makes them easier to keep up with and allows me to stop and enjoy the ones I really care about, as opposed to rushing to get onto the next game.
I can understand a desire for more, but personally, I like it the way it is. :)

I was already wearing mine!

But seriously, I already have too many game and not enough money.

This forum is full of wrong people ! You are the fifth one to answer me that.
What is the saying about knowing to be right while everyone else is wrong ? :-)
