Xeshra: I do not think GOG is "that social" delaying a important game for the sake of several less important ones. If they would be acting like this... they shot oneself in the foot, because they are in need of every cent and it is well known "a important title that is delayed will sell much worse for every week and every month it has been delayed"... simply how it works and how gamers behave.
Sure, it is okay to shoot oneself n the foot but i guess... if someone is doing it at free will then i assume they do not bother economical success and may as well just throw their money out of the window.
At least Valve and EGS "knows their priorities", guess thats why they are economically another scale, sadly.
Although it is okay being social but not that social that you may suffer so much that your existence could be at risk, thats "self sacrifice".
Launch-parity is actually a important thing, but... sure... a lot of customers may still buy it another time if the price is alright, yet a crazy discount is not necessarily flooding GOGs moneybag because they got a limited gamer-base. On Steam if 150 million would be buying it almost for free... this is still a truck of money... way lesser if there are only 1,5 million gamers buying it almost for free. The amount is a critical thing if games are being "trashed".
Yes, no secret that EGS is making massive cash just by the countless microtransactions on Fornite... the single payments may look like low cash but if it is running at a scale of millions of transactions, it can be a real truck... the typical microtransactions-strategy. Not working on GOG as they have a "niche-gamerbase", not a mainstream-crusher.
Nah, the truth is, GOG simply is unable to "pay much" and so... they simply often will get a shorter stick, but at least they still may get a stick.
Khashra I love your point of view it's always a pleasure to read you it's a wealth for me on the other hand if they release recent games they could speak to a wider audience or more recent triple AAA or from the past without having games like Fortnite :) They can always gain visibility and more customers thanks to this or for example releasing games from our dream list more often in order to motivate players on gog and also to buy the games at their fair price, I don't mind, for example, the release of the ninja gaiden trilogy in 2021 at the normal price of 39.99 for example and not necessarily based on steam promotions which they unfortunately do For me, it's also shooting yourself in the foot to copy the competition rather than saying our strength is without DRM but that comes at a price promotions later I have the impression that they are afraid to count on us.
