AgentBirdnest: My first post in like 4 years, just to say:

I insta-bought PolyClassic wild when it got here a couple of months ago. I finished it in 17 minutes. Wrote the "most helpful" review, and refunded it. Worst game I have ever played in my life. I felt totally scammed, until I got my money back. But it still left such a bad taste in my mouth that I've stopped buying on GOG since then.

And yeah, Steam has the same game - plus much, much, much, MUCH (much) worse stuff. But I guess I always felt like, "at least I'm not going to get outright scammed on GOG." Now that that's no longer the case, it puts Steam and GOG on an even playing field in my book. If I'm gonna get scammed either way, I'd rather just use Steam because I personally find it more convenient in the ways that matter to me. I've had a lot of reasons to feel exhausted with GOG lately, but curation being nuked was just the final straw for me.

I can't speak for other Whale Rock games, but make no mistake - PolyClassic Wild is a scam. While the description is technically accurate if you stretch some definitions, it leaves out the fact that they are selling a stolen 17-minute tech demo instead of a game, and posting fake reviews that are wildly and disgustingly misrepresenting the product to try to trick buyers.

Anyway... I have no idea if GOG reads the forums these days, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my dissatisfaction and disgust with them.

RedRagan: I really hate Steam because it promised that I can still play games even when there's no internet. Well, guess what? I went on a vacation to a rural area for weeks and on the 4th day Steam refused to let me play my games because I'm not connected to internet. Fuck you Steam you lying piece of shit.
