tfishell: Again I kinda think, if CDPR is willing to use their leverage of CP2077, they can essentially be like, "Yo EA and Ubi, you can have CP2077 on your storefronts like Witcher 3, but we get some games in return for GOG - GOG will do the technical work, just free up your lawyers for a few days to make this legal." tho I know it's never just
that simple.
StingingVelvet: Sure, but a big part of me wonders how hard GOG tries on this stuff. Like how well do 10 year old "newer" games that everyone and their mother owns on Steam actually sell on GOG? I just wonder if they put way more effort into getting newer stuff. But then, when they do get a Dishonored or Deus Ex: Human Revolution they do make it seem like a big deal. Who knows.
Hehe, we've had this conversation before ;) I think we've agreed to disagree essentially. I assume they put more effort into new stuff where they can actually communicate to the devs and push/implement Galaxy (especially multiplayer); for the "AAA" stuff everyone already owns on Steam and might be lacking Steam features, I think the deep discounts might be enough for many users to at least double-dip and might still be decently profitable despite the 75-85% discount.
I was pleasantly surprised at more Retroism games showing up recently, those seem like games GOG wouldn't try very hard to get after they've already been deeply discounted on Steam and don't have as many wishlist votes compared to something like the recent "AAA"s - Dishonored, DE:HR, Life is Strange, Supreme Commander, Metro Exo, Wolfenstien, etc.
Depending on how worthwhile the wishlist is, I assume GOG would try hard for something like Mass Effect and the C&Cs but lesser EA oldies might not be too far on their radar anymore.
