randomuser.833: Now THAT will teach GoG something (not the thing you might want though - more like you can be ignored without problems...).

acute71: I don't think that differs much from the current situation ;)
Might be because the list is already comparable small with some more dubious names already and not that few people arguing against it in the same thread.

Even with some names that where already hostile against gog, but less because of GoG and more because being exposed as dazzler and being rejected by the forum com they thought to be in control of.

Adding the weekly steam troll does not make it better though.

Then tell me what is your idea on something you don‘t like and want it to change for the better? Run away like a little angry kid?

MajesticBlueFalcon: I am glad I downloaded the Galaxy launcher before buying anything. I am vehemently anti-Epic. If GOG is partnered with them then I am out. Too many of the games I bought on Steam went Epic exclusive right before release forcing a song and dance of getting a refund. Some of those refunds were flat out refused until someone threatened legal action. If GOG is connected with Epic in any way then I am not interested. Back to Steam.

What a horribly written post, but I'm sure my point is still clear.
i'm also not a big friend of the Epic Exclusive deals, but i don't understand why a partnership between GOG and Epic should be a reason for dislike GOG?

with your argument, you should consider to not playing any game made with the Unreal Engine, because it belongs to Epic Games.

here is a list for you:

GOG Galaxy is under ongoing development, unlike some other parts of GOG..., and if there is something not working well or part of the user interface being unclear, do inform the developers here:

Oh, one of the right person who feels being hit directly. Burned his fingers already in one sub, so lets try it somewhere else.

For you again.
Asking somebody who says he is using steam and only steam with 0 games on GoG to join a GoG boycott list that already slaps together various reasons people on that list only agree to partially, doesn't help at all. In fact it is a hilarious move, that has been criticized already in the past. People being vocal against GoG that never had anything to do with GoG at all.

It is just the best way to undermine your ideas.

About the thread in general.
That is more like the childish "I will hold my breath until..." reaction then anything useful.
Big lists with names on them usually don't do much (even less if they only got few names).

What you can do always depends on the situation.
When talking about the points in the boycotting thread, some are just stupid. For example the neglected offline installers?
Those have always lacked a little bit behind but where never more or less neglected then today...
Coming up with such a point won't help in any kind of discussion...

Not very logical.

You'd rather go back to Steam who gave a hard time, when clearly they shouldn't have over pre-release puchases (or so you claim), than give GOG's partnership with Epic the benefit of the doubt, when clearly it's not much of a partnership at this stage. And why are you blaming Epic, when clearly the wrong thing was done by Steam and/or DEVs/PUBs of those games.

In case you weren't aware, many game providers are not happy with Steam, and Epic is kind of the front runner in their war with Steam.

None of this means I think Epic are great, though it is great of them to provide all the free games they have been doing for over two years now, each week. I also haven't picked a side in the war, but I am not a big fan of the Steam model ... not a fan of any DRM model, including any related to Epic.

Maybe Imade myself not clear, what I was talking about. My point was towards you ridiculing the boycot, not any old topics, that have nothing to do with this, but I should have known that you will always bring up old stuff, because yo seem to live in the past. Sorry, you can hold your grudge as long as you like, because I have a different opinion than you, but that seems very childish.

You are right about the op, but that was not what I was talking about.

Again, I'm asking that question. What will you do, if you see something is wrong and you want to change it? Just go on as always? Don't think, that this will solve anything.

And it doesn't look more to you like being summoned? Because that happends on a regular base with you.
Even more when it is something you could (again) point towards yourself, even if it was not the case (like it happend many times before).
And for sure, people are judged by what they did in the past.
And we have a past.

I would not post a thread into the forum, that is made up with many tasks, that all will have to be solved to my likening, while all things I write about are maximum claims that for sure nobody can fulfill (even less all of them).

Things happen in dialog, not based on maximum claims from one side and that side already starts with a "not crossing this line".
Nobody can and nobody will take such "openings" of a "discussion" serious, because it is no discussion at all.
The only thing you can do there is saying good by and wish those people the best on their way in the future.

And how and to who to talk about a certain topic is always a question of the situation, who to be addressed and what you want to archive.
You want a general way to do things?
Forget it.

But the very first stepp is, not to open things up with maximum claims AND "I won't move a single stepp from here".
In your case (because you are on the boycott list too) "And I will hold my breath until you do" too.

To be honest, the only thing I and GoG can do here is saying Goodbye.

So, Goodbye.
