A friendly word of advice, just drop it. You are just going to argue in circles getting nothing accomplished, these people have already made up there minds and are not going to let anyone change it, in the end all you are doing is keeping this thread on the front page which is just what they want. Best to just ignore it now and let it drift into the nether.

Everyone having different goals for the boycott makes the whole thing pointless. What people want and not want here starts getting confusing. LOL.

Not believing in the success of the boycott is bizarre. In this case the whole thing here looks like a waste of time.

I don't mind that the thread is getting bumped. From what I have seen here the boycott is basically a self-destructive construct. It is (or at least should be) embarrassing for the participants of the boycott. But yes. It is probably the best thing to drop it.

:)

So kawaii! First time I’ve seen someone take out popcorn to read their own posts. Yours are the definition of circular argumentation.

So... after I took a dump yesterday I thought "Why not?" and started to look at the boycotters mentioned in the opening post.

Boycotters who aren't really boycotting because they obviously bought games after they joined the boycott:

Last but not least I haven't found Longcat on the lists of the boycott.

So what is your role in this thread? You are somehow antagonizing people who disagree or seem to disgree with the boycott. Why are you "defending" (at least it looks like it) something which you aren't even participating? The whole thing indicates that you are yet another internet warrior who spouts nothing but hot air. So... LOL! I suggest to change your username to Bizarrocat.

OH! And I just bumped the thread again. I saw that you were waiting for it yesterday. LOL!

Heh. You really have no life :)

And once again have proved nothing. I’d laugh if it wasn’t so sad. What a waste of time.

I am boycotting. I haven’t bought a single game since the Hitman fiasco. Doesn’t mean that I have to be on a list, or that I can’t support people who want to be on said list :) And I’m guessing there are more like me. Internet warrior, pfft. I’m just a customer who has been here since GOG was in beta.

You are the antagonist here, not me. What is your role in this thread?

Hi Guys, sorry for the radio silence. I meant to reply to some of the recent posts a few days ago, but I had the week from hell last week: kids back to school and I've been really unwell on top of it. Will try to respond later today.

so openly admitting they are renting you flawed product instead of selling you a proper DRM-free release despite claiming the store is DRM-free, nice

and I know about the "games evolve" stuff, but no feature that is feasible to work in single player, offline mode can be locked behind online gaming
friend leaderboards? sure, they won't update when offline but it doesn't matter
new nail polish color you have to go online to get? it's DRM and doesn't belong on GOG

Thank you for admitting that you are indeed antagonizing me. You also have confirmed what I said in my previous post.

LOL.

Devotion is still on my "need to play it soon list" ha ha ha! But I really liked Detention and wouldn't have heard of either of them if it wasn't for all of the fuss on GOG!

Running out of replies I see :) This thread is about boycotting. You are against the boycott and the boycotters.. That is the definition of being an antagonist. Or are you trying to say that you are the protagonist in this thread? Very kawaii ;)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antagonist

Assumptions again. As I said, the boycott is a self-destructive construct. It is hilarious and entertaining.

And you are also hilarious. You are one of those internet warriors who try to look smarter than their antagonists. "Hey, I am the smart guy here and look at this kawaii creature there. It is an idiot." That's essentially you are trying to do here. This type of internet warriors use buzzwords, technical terms or even definitions of words, but in reality it only hides the hot air they are posting.

You also completely failed to fully understand my previous post. Here is a small hint. Antagonizing other GOG users is against the CoC of this forum. I won't do it, but other users might simply report you. You even have admitted it.

Edit:
I am not Krogan32.

Are you back, Krogan32?

Edit; I'll take that as a yes.

You continue breaking the CoC of this forum.

"WE DON’T TOLERATE:
[...]
Posting something that is knowingly false.[...]"

I am definitely not Krogan32. So stop it.

I see you registered this account directly after Hitman - GOTY was released.

Not this again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc

In another thread someone mentioned I registered after GOG started to sell games with adult content. Background: I criticized the behavior of that user. They don't want GOG selling porn games and they post this on every occasion. At the end, I was an evil user who masturbates to porn games. I haven't bought any of them.

You are like this user. LOL!
