YaTEdiGo: "Modern" Times and a Brand LOST: This was about GOG, I totally agreed with have some indie games here, but it seems like someone new entered your company with tons of "hipster" ideas, the new look, the more and more indie games and less good old games, the mega uber indie movies thing... I dont wonder why the LOGO is now grey, seriously you are losing the "Brand"
jalister: I still think GOG was bought by another company, and that company thinks they know what is best for GOG. Unfortunately they are wrong. I agree that GOG does not feel like GOG anymore. I also consider that maybe the "gog" model is not profitable enough, I could understand this, because maybe they arrived to a point where to get the good old games is not an easy thing. Example: I am missing here tons of games and franchises, Heretic games, ID games, No One Lives Forever, Mechwarrior series, Lucas Arts Adventures, Xwing series, Elder´s Scroll series, etc. but many of these franchises probably dont have any chance to be published here. Sometimes because "rights" are "lost" or in some "legal limbo" like NOLF, or most part of Lucas games, or just because some companies arent interested in publishing games here. (Something that isnt GOG fault)
So I dont know if it is a movement to open the market and the possibilities of GOG.com, if it is this I agree with their movements in the past, like starting to have indie games here, but it wasnt only this. Is because the reasons I posted before, some of the new changes made me feel so dissapointed, all together makes me feel this is not anymore the website I use to love, this doesnt mean I dont like Gog, I do, I like it. But it doesnt feel the same anymore, and somethings, like games that dissapeared from the website, make me feel I have not so much confidence in the future.
Anyway I am pretty sure this a time for "adaptation", and they will find soon the right path. The website and service were perfect from the very beginning and during many years, is just that I feel this last "update" included so many wrong things all together that is like suddenly recieve a wave of cold water in your face.
