HereForTheBeer: Speaking for myself, a loyalty program wouldn't influence my decisions to buy here by even a slight bit. Warts and all, DRM-free is the key to this particular store. So long as that sticks around, along with client-free access to the library, then my game store needs are pretty much met.
That, and I've really slowed the pace of buying games. Maybe if the loyalty program included more hours in the day, then I'd be all over it. But more games I won't get around to playing is not the key to what keeps me here.
Yeah, this too. For people (like us) who have lots of GOG games already, it is probable the reason we have ended up buying so much from GOG is not related to pricing. So while cheaper "loyalty" prices might be nice, they still wouldn't be the reason to buy (or not to buy) here for us. That, and I've really slowed the pace of buying games. Maybe if the loyalty program included more hours in the day, then I'd be all over it. But more games I won't get around to playing is not the key to what keeps me here.
And it would be detrimental for those who do shop around for the cheapest prices, as they probably don't have their games concentrated on GOG, and to them GOG games would cost more than for people with more GOG games...
If GOG wants to show respect to their "best buyers", they might have a Hall of Fame and The Best Buyer of the Month prizes. Then I could wave my dick around in public, both figuratively and in reality.
