Is GOG becoming a retro-gaming site?

Retro-games releases are growing.
Growing is not even correct: only retro-games are released.

This would fit if GOG decided to remain true to its root of "Good Old Games" but, instead, GOG is now only GOG and we are expected to see all kind of games.

Instead, only indie and retro are mainly released.

Additionally, I found the recent releases unappealing. Many genres are not covered at all: simulation, strategy, racing, etc.
If I consider the poor state customer website functionality, buying here require some serious effort.

I'm sorry, my hand were shaking and I reported you as spam accidentally! I changed my rating from - to +, since I was going to give you a +1, but, but my hands were shaking awfully.

i think it's funny when people complain but don't offer up any suggestions on how things should be done or even have the ability to formulate the words to express what they really want.

complain complain complain.

almost every line in the original post is in some way contradictory and it's breaking my brain.

No customer asked for changing from Good old Games to GOG.
Nor they are releasing old games. Just retroclones.

I would welcome more mainstream games. That's all.
I think is an easy to grasp concept.

mainstream as in.....?

star wars battlefront 2 with its loot boxes?

and when you say "only retro" what exactly do you mean? because frankly we've been getting far less old games than we used to (not knocking gog, i know there is a finite supply of old titles).

You understand the indie concept, so I expect you to be able to understand the mainstream concept.
But, if not, Elmofongo post above can help you.

Just for you, since you are having nightmares, an example: Retro means games released in 2019 with pixel graphics that play like a clone of the double dragon coin-op.

ah yes so not 'retro' games at all. just indie games.

gotcha.

so then, again, because i'm curious, are there any specific mainstream titles you'd like to see here?

edit: and yes, battlefront 2 showing up here is indeed a nightmarish thought.

Someone draw up a Venn diagram, showing publishers willing to go with DRM-free, the gOg curation dartboard, and the customer's desires to have good games here without having to sort through piles and piles of crapola.
