lefali: Yes, it is less predatory system of gambling, still I'm disappointed from GOG now. Not I wouldn't expect it after Activision and Bethesda publishing = Zenimax have put their games and interests here...
Leroux: I think they did promos like that long before Zenimax came on board, there's really no connection. And if all GOG users would dislike them, these promos probably wouldn't have been repeated by GOG either. But apparantly they are supported and/or liked by enough customers.
I never saw any of that, but it is possible.
I'm just disappointed they do it now, when a lot of big but not really friendly companies are enjoying the ride which is very unfriendly to some players I almost got impression they do it because they don't want them to enjoy any game - like pushing it through, enjoying how they feel miserable. And some players came here hoping they will never do it.
And now after all of that GOG joins that? For me it feels like they just discredited themself and betrayed trust of some people here. Well if the money are worthy of it...
Btw. some players support anything that is not nice for other players, even with a lot of money - hardcore players turing every MMO into hell, not even being hardcore themself or requiring anti lore content or anything else - just for fun. So now it is mystery boxes...
