thomq: GOG has announced their Galaxy application will be released in April with the feature for achievements. They have worked on achievements for games in the BETA version of Galaxy, but of course not everything in a BETA version of software makes it into the final release. The possibility for achievements in a game did actually make it.

So, in Galaxy 1.2 after it's released in April achievements become an official feature possible in games on GOG. Then after that the game developers can confidently modify their own games themselves to support an official feature of the non-beta version of Galaxy from GOG.

MaGo72: Today the supplement's for that D&D setting are very popular, hard to find and cost lots of money, you easily pay 50 -70€ for a 24 page supplement.

almabrds: I dind't ask WHY, I asked when, cap. obvious.

Carradice: Actually things happened in this order:

First, systematic downvoting of every single opinion favorable towards PSTEE, all while some posts attacked the game and the publisher with words like sacrilege and whatnot ¬¬ The hate towards games is increasingly common nowadays; the systematic downvoting was new and an abuse of the system.

Second, people started realizing the downvoting and making remarks, while asking why so much hate. This was followed by more downvoting and some new remarks on part on the haters attacking the company, specifically some allegedly gay/trans-accepting content apparently present in prior games.

Third, some users engaged with the people making bad remarks about the gay/trans-friendly content. The answers lead to an exposition of what is commonly understood as far right or alt-right usual commonplaces, all included with a defence of the ideas and policy of the current president of the USA.

Fourth, some of the propagandists even claimed later that it was all the fault of the people who engaged with them in conversation.

# Conclusions: #

1. The pattern, systematic and temporal, of the downvoting suggest multiaccounts. It stopped completely for about eight hours, then came back. Also, the pattern avoided in the return two new users that had marked ther reps, while it kept attacking new users that had not written their reps in the thread. So, very focusedly, these two users were avoided, as if trying not to be too much conspicuous--yet failing.

2. All suggests that the objective was systematically boycotting the company that made this EE, just because of that gay/trans-friendly content present in other games. The downvoting, the hateful comments and then the exposition of dislike against gay/trans was a part of it; the rest was the exposition of right wing propaganda, further drifting away from the topic in this thread. Some users, in good faith but probably misguidedly, engaged with these propagandists in a futile effort to bring them to reason, only to mud the thread even more.

3. The success of the hijacking of the thread was only partial. This EE is interesting for many, both veteran and newcomers to Sigil, while those who do now want to buy it are free to do so. Those who want the original only without the EE still can get it. A win for all?

# Lessons to bring home: #

i. Upvoting is meant for pointing out useful, informative posts, while downvoting is for uncivil ones. Better keep it that way.

ii. GOG community is a hobbyist one where political propaganda and agenda can only detract from its purpose. Keep the crap off our games.

iii. Do not feed the troll. When you engage with a propagandist, that is exactly what the other wants. Do not make it easy for them.

MaGo72: Achievements are for Hamsters who cannot enjoy a game without running in a wheel.

Pretty much the human being every government is happy to have.

dudalb: TO be honest, I think that PT is not the kind of game that lends itself to "acheivments" ,. A bit too serous a game for that kind of thing.

Starmaker: I think it does. I've seen many people say that when they replay the game, they keep playing as (basically) the fluffy fuzzball from the Rhys Hess novelization. Achievements can direct people to seek out the more obscure content. Like "get glued to the chair" or "get sliced up into prosciutto".

Infester77777: Can somebody explain the point of beamdog doing this rather then making their own game?
