It’s very cute with all these guys participating in a boycott thread they purportedly do not care about at all, desperately trying to distract from its purpose. I guess that means the boycott serves it’s purpose. Well done, OP.

because it's interesting.

Yawn.

I don't know what happened to my last post, so here I go again, I guess.

Your conclusion which I've conveniently marked in bold above is a strawman, because I did not claim to conform my actions to those of others in this group. So is referring to me vs the others here as "water and oil" - whether the definition of "boycotting" you insist on using applies to what other people are doing (and whether it applies to what I'm doing for that matter) is entirely irrelevant to me.

Just wanted to check in and say I'm still here boycotting. The only game I've bought on GOG since December 2020 was one for the Secret Santa that I said I'd do before deciding to boycott. I'm still looking forward to GOG rectifying the DRM issues so I can start shopping here again. There haven't been many changes on that front for a while so I haven't really had anything to add to the thread.

I'm not buying on any DRM-enabled platform, even if it's merely an install-time DRM,
and there are no DRM-free games on Steam as all of them are at the very least install time DRM (the matter of how easy is to bypass the Steam client is irrelevant), I'm not even grabbing "freebies" on these platforms to not pump up their user stats, I don't have an account on most of them. I'm also not getting any Humble Bundles that contain even a single Steam (or clone) key (why can't they figure that out already? I told them so many times...)
when I do buy I do it on itch.io or Steam-free Humble Store releases, I don't have any real need to as I have a long list of games to play, but there's a not so short wishlist I'd purchase from if I could just because it feels nice to get a new shiny thing, even when the pile keeps growing

The whiners seem to be keeping it alive. Example?...
...this nonsense.

The mods need to lock this thread. The whining and CDPR/GOG badmouthing has gone on long enough..

Again, it’s very kawaii with all these guys participating in a boycott thread they purportedly do not care about at all, desperately trying to distract from its purpose. And inadvertently increasing the activity in it by doing so. I guess that means the boycott serves it’s purpose.

I applaud you once again, OP.

First, thanks for proving you don't know a thing about "strawman". Second, if my posts are irrelevant to you, then why do you keep replying? Anyways, I'll do you a favor. As you've already outed yourself, I'll just block you so you won't ever have to feel the need to defend that you feel irrelevant about my posts ever again.
If it was any other forum, this thread would've been locked a year ago due to the fact that they go on off-topic constantly.

If it was any other forum, certain individuals who purport to have no interest at all in a supposedly dead thread would have been permabanned a year ago due to the fact that they go on off-topic rants constantly and harass users who join the boycott and have acted in no other manner than a civilized and friendly one.

But, it’s GOG, you know.

I'm not sure what GOG's algorithm is for that, but ever since finkleroy closed his two giveaway threads, the current thread is always listed as #1 under the "Hot Topics" category on https://www.gog.com/forum, at least for me (see image).

To me that seems like weak troll tactics at best, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt yet assume that you will see this post.

Feel free to give it any name other than "strawman", but you were essentially making claims about my stance inconsistent with my own views.

I didn't claim that your posts are irrelevant to me. I claimed that whether your definition of boycott applies or not is irrelevant to me. If you've actually blocked me because of failed reading comprehension, then that's just downright tragic, but it's ultimately your own problem.

I don't actually consider your recent few posts irrelevant because for once, you're trying a somewhat new approach, which means despite your rigid demeanor that the subject is brought ever so slightly further toward a sensible conclusion.

EDIT: Removed extraneous word that somehow snuck in there.

lets join the perma boycott, go woke go broke

thanks for responding :)

I am way behind, I thought GOG by definition was DRM free but I guess that is similar how Google used to say do no evil. I will be more careful with my GOG purchases from now on.
