Wolfy777: One
little problem: you'd be replacing
democracy (all votes are equal and voting majority wins) with plutocracy (only wealthy people get to call the shots).
fronzelneekburm: 1) I wouldn't call it a plutocracy. Plutocracy implies that you'd have a bunch of dim bulbs calling the shots for no reason other than them being loaded with money. Call it a meritocracy: However much (or little) money you have, if you decided to support gog, you should get more of a say in gog's choice of releases. After all, you're more likely to buy them.
2) It's not like the current "curation" system is democratic either. Quite the opposite. A bunch of "curators" decide which games to accept (or reject) for arbitrary (and sometimes rather ludicrous) reasons. What's democratic about that? The wishlist is nothing other than a tool for the "curators" to determine "Oh, this thing we're about to turn down might sell after all".
3) This is about getting good games here, we're not electing a government or anything. It doesn't even have to be democratic.
1) Take it up with the definition of the word.
Just because someone is poor doesn't mena they have "poor taste" and should be ignored.
2) The wishlist is
huge and it's not easy getting permision to sell games. If nothing else you have to track down all right holders of the game and set terms that they all agree on to be able to sell the game.
Plus it's impossible for GOG to sell every game ever made despite how nice it sounds.
Besides, some curation is better than none at all.
Still it would be nice to know what GOG's criteria or to know why some titles are rejected.
3) Heck this has been brought up so many times the birds are singing about it. XD
"Good" is subjective. People have diffrent tastes and prferances.
E.g. I generally don't like FPS games (e.g. Call of Duty) because they require fast reaction time.
Does that mean all FPS games are bad? No, far from it.
I like fantasy games.
Does that mean that I don't play other gneres? No, my collection is quite diverse.
Does that mean every non-fantasy game is in general or in my opinion "bad" by defult? No, of course not.
Beside droping equality of votes would create a too great backlash for GOG to handle.
