Master_Chen: I'm just way too seasoned of a hardcore gamer to tolerate or ignore clear BS, when I see it. And when I spot it happening, I usually immediately and openly call out on it. The thing that is currently happening/going on with ScummVM on GOG, is exactly such of a case for me. I see it as utter BS that should never be tolerated and must never be swiped under a rug.
Then why are you complaining about it under an alt and not contacting gog using your main account?
And what does complaining to a bunch of strangers solve(mountains out of mole hills or no)? Have you contacted gog yet? If not then it probably doesn't bother you as much as you claim it does.
Also no one is trying to sweep anything under the rug....like some sort of conspiracy or plot....people just don't see it as that big a deal(most replying I mean), or think you should be reporting this to gog in the poper manner instead of bringing it up here over and over again.
Master_Chen: Maybe you people are simply not used to seeing someone on the internet expressing themselves so openly when it comes down to pointing out glaring errors/mistakes/problems on things, but that's just the way how I operate in life as a person. I never tolerate crap and when I see one I immediately say so, with disregard of anyone's "feelings" about it. Your "hurt feelings" due to me saying that GOG is doing something badly/incorrectly, won't change my opinion.
Fair enough, but it makes you look less relatable/sympathetic when you do so....as the saying goes "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar".
(Addition: Saying simple stuff like: "I never considered that/it that way", "I will talk to gog about this thanks for suggesting such", and the like would've worked wonders and led to less people being upset with you, and been the better way to go here. And following that up by
actually talking to gog support via the ticket system/email/etc would've been good as a followup)
Also I think more are upset less at you being upset at gog, and more about the LEVEL of your upset(being disproportionate to the problem at hand) & you using an alt to complain instead of talking to gog like most would(
which might get more results than what you are doing now).
Master_Chen: I couldn't care less if there's going to be an entire army of GOG's "defenders" or "shillers" against me when it comes down to this particular thing.
No one(afaik) is trying to defend gog for the sake of defending gog(or shill)...more are trying to show how what you're asking is hard to do/giving reasons why it cannot be done so easily and the end up defending gog in the process.
Master_Chen: I've been around this platform for roughly 10 years so regardless of anything anyone would try to throw at me in here, it'll flow down/bounce off like water from a goose or a lotus flower. Especially if these are going to be kindergartner-tier insults, defamation attempts, or outright cursing with no rhyme or reason whatsoever.
You claim it doesn't bother you but you are clearly showing signs of being bothered(that's meant as an observation more than an insult).....and over reasonable(
for the most part) criticisms and replies by others.
Imo you should step back from this thread, contact gog with your concerns about the ScummVm versions, and see what happens....if you don't then you're basically working against what you claim to want to see happen here and are weakening some of your arguments prior to this.
