Many of you have been complaining, imo rightfully so, about GOG staff locking threads including very long-running popular threads that they say go against the COC. Imo, GOG wants us to get fed up with the limited discussion here and be frustrated enough to leave. This forum, as far as I can tell, is the last bastion of a place that includes people who care about DRM-free gaming in any sort of significant number.
GOG subreddit does not meet this criteria; in fact I recall people on there discussing how "toxic" GOG forum supposedly is, with the toxicity apparently meaning those of us who dare to want a 100% ownable product when we purchase it here instead of being coerced into using the "optional" client. They'll get a little mad about Hitman or Epic, sure, but then go back to slobbering over how awesome they think Galaxy is.
For those interested, Zoom-Platform's discord I assume would be the next biggest place of people who care about DRM-free gaming all in one place. If GOG does away with the forum or it fades into obscurity since no one is left around to champion DRM-free, then I think the continued DRMification of GOG and PC gaming in general will go full-Steam-ahead. Does anyone else think there is anything to my theory?
