Paid trolls or "influencers", psy-ops will go where the target people are. So I guess bigger platforms like Steam might get hit. I think GOG is probably too small a target. Our trolls are likely genuine nutcases ;-)

Don't know, man.
I understand and agree with your reasoning, but in strategic terms I think it'd make more sense to first neutralize the "weaker" enemy in order to later concentrate on the stronger adversary without any distractions.

GOG is the ONLY market that offers anything superior to Steam.

Sure, it suffers from some missing titles due to publisher paranoia or an overzealous "curation" system that has actually cut off a series in the middle, but there are really only two stores out there for digital releases of PC games and GOG is one of them.

There's a reason that, despite being regularly ignored by the "game journalists" who ramble on about nothing, it continues to be ranked so highly compared to every other store save Steam.

I too would like to hear about this "future" from those responsible.

I'm hoping for a functional forum, and maybe a merch store with GOGbear t-shirts and stuffies!

As Sachys said, it's the screwy way the rep system works. Most of the people with negative rep, it's not because standard users are downvoting individual bad posts over time, but because it can be abused by a few people cycling a lot of fake accounts to hammer lots of posts by that individual, even digging out old/unrelated threads to do it. That'll drive someone down real fast.

It probably wasn't intended, but that's the way it "works." /shrug

Could not have said it better. +1 ;).Cheers

Topics like this don't help anything.

GOG has always been a tough ask and it has a lot of adversaries, especially Steam of course and the fan boys and girls with their limited experience with long term reality etc. Add to that Epic and plenty of others.

Some developers play games, often having a bet each way to maximize profits and to sabotage too I reckon.

Amazingly GOG has stood the test of time so far, and long may they reign. Their situation has gone against virtually all predictions, so maybe cut them some slack and have some faith.

In the corporate world when it comes to competition, it is often best to keep many facts to yourself and keep them mysterious.

If GOG goes broke, you still have their games ... providing you have been sensible and downloaded them and updates.
The same cannot be said for many other stores, that require some online element to play their games. You could potentially lose it all in a heart beat with them.
