You just made me laugh.

If somebody is stretching the meaning off a verb, instead of sticking with its original meaning, you blame others again.

So back to square one:

merriam webster is an online dictionary

If you are not familiar with what a dictionary is, I would suggest you go back to school, sorry to say it this harsh way.

http://www.britannica.com/dictionary/dictionary

1a reference source in print or electronic form containing words usually alphabetically arranged along with information about their forms, pronunciations, functions, etymologies, meanings, and syntactical and idiomatic uses

If you want another link:

http://www.britannica.com/dictionary/try

a: to put to test by experiment, investigation, or trial (as for determining strength, endurance, worth, accuracy, truth, or utility)

So if somebody doesn't have a clue, it would not be me. Thanks for this outright lie!

And thanks for proving my point!

I recommend more games, less posting. TRY Eador:Genesis. I am sorry, but this post should have ended the argument right here:

Sorry, but you're an idiot. Right at the top from the page you linked: Now head for the drunk thread you were talking about earlier.

Yep, the next idiot showing up, another idiot who failed miserable in school. And calling somebody something is not helping to bring your failed point across.

If YOU don't know HOW to read a dictionary, that is your problem, not mine.

You want it let's say really official:

http://www.britannica.com/dictionary/try

2 a: to put to test by experiment, investigation, or trial (as for determining strength, endurance, worth, accuracy, truth, or utility)

Thank you for proving my point.

And just as a tip: Get some education, there are even online courses available.

I especially liked the part where it says "powered by Merriam-Webster", the website you linked earlier. You know... The website that said "to do or use (something) in order to find out if you like it" ;)

It does not matter in the slightest what the original meaning of a word is.

What matters is how a word is used and what people understand when you say that word.
If you use a word in a wrong way but after a while it becomes common to use the word in that way and people understand it differently over time, the word will have got a new, additional meaning in a specific context.
It does not matter if a dictionary recognizes that new meaning or not.

Of course, it is possible that some people do not know (or believe to not know) a certain meaning of a word, however, that does not mean that the meaning does not exist for a large part of the language's speakers.

What I am saying is that the verb "try" is widely used in many forms of advertising and that in this context it has a different meaning than in the context: "When I was trying to defeat that NPC I failed. Maybe you give it a try" Or "I didn't like that game. If I were you I would try it before buying it."

Customers learn that in the context -advertising- "try" never means "be cautious" but "We aren't forcing you but come on, try it. You won't be dissappointed.".
So, if GOG want to inform people that Galaxy isn't safe for use simply saying "try our client" is not enough. They have to make sure that the context they use the verb in is clear.

I have a question: Can I complain that when I click on Games on the top, GOG is not offering me any animals, because here is the really official OMG Merriam-Webster dictionary definition:

4 a (1) : animals under pursuit or taken in hunting; especially : wild animals hunted for sport or food (2) : the flesh of game animals
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/game

Three people already pointed out that you're using the definition of the word "try" that doesn't apply in this context. But I guess again, I'm just proving your point and should go back to school...

EDIT: ninjad twice...

No input, just talk....

Again, go back to school and learn how to use dictionaries and what they stand for. You can even google it.

And just using hard-copy Langenscheidt: Try : probieren,erproben, pruefen

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/try?s=t

nvm

Yeah right:

Don't try out this at home......using your logic it means nothing......

Right, I thought the word was fancy.. ; )

Another one of your posts that makes me think you don't know what logic means.

YOU have a point, but game is not what is being discussed here ;) (Aaaaand you made a mistake, it says gameS on top ;) )

But try is having a clear definition and colloquial use is NOT the problem of the writer, but the problem of the reader. And if you look at i.e. in judicial terms, it is really clear. Nothing to do with come in and find out try sort of thing ;)
You brought this silly logic up, not me

What? Where?

You don't know what logic means and it shows in many of your posts.

Edit: Well this is a case in which I am unwilling to accept your meaning of the word "logic".
The most important difference between this case and the case with "try" is that I told you what some people understand by try in a certain context.
In this case, though, I haven't got a clue what you mean by logic since I often think your posts are not logical.
