BKGaming: They all ready said that if you would like do a big giveaway or something to contact them and they will work around that limit, it just a general limit for obvious reasons... 5 per day is more than reasonable anyway.
Yeah, so I have to go and ask GOG for permission to do a big giveaway, while the key resellers.. continue what they were doing anyway, because it is easy to work around. As I've said, the restriction
won't stop them. It'll only get in the way of honest users.
So disregarding everything else, it's a pointless waste of time which they could better spend.. I don't know, finally fixing the forum search? At least that would help someone!
BKGaming: No offence but I've seen your other comments on this and it just seems you're wanting to start drama over something silly in my opinion...
I'm not offended. It doesn't matter what it seems like because what it seems like may just be you having experience with other people who "want to start drama over something silly", seeing as there are plenty of them.
I'm not trying to start drama, I'm just explaining that GOG is doing something it said it wouldn't do..
again and that if people don't tell them to pack it in, they'll continue doing so and by the time it gets to something big, they'll use your previous silence against you.
BKGaming: DLC? So? Why can't it have DLC? GOG sold old games that didn't have it. GOG sells newer games now that have DLC. This is a logical choice. Do you want this place to remain niche?
I never said if any of those changes were good or bad, just that they happened.
BKGaming: GOG is not a small site with few users anymore, the bigger it gets the more it will need to protect is business and it's customers. Good faith only get abused unfortunately.
Yeah, I've had my good faith abused too and you know what? Screw those people who abuse it, I'm not retracting it. I'll take the hits to be that awesome guy who will buy you a game on sale because you can't afford it right now and get repaid several years later after I've long forgotten about it. Why? Because most people here are genuine and I will treat you like a genuine person until you demonstrate otherwise.
BKGaming: There is still is no DRM, and I doubt that will ever change. But no matter what, people are going to think the worse.
Lots of people doubting GOG would drop a lot of their principles, but they did and them being dropped were what people were worried about.
Avogadro6: "Sure you can dear, just ask mommy first". :P
yeah, I just have to ask for permission to do something that is completely reasonable and shouldn't require permission.. like.. a server to play a single-player game? Oh no, wait, that would be DRM..
Avogadro6: *We* normal users can't now that. But Gog does have their sale figures. If they are taking a move in that sense, I guess something's already happening.
GOGs sale figures only tells them what sales they
made, it cannot, by definition, tell them what sales they
may have made given X (resellers) being absent. Those people buying those cheap may very well never purchase the game above the price the reseller paid anyway.
