This community is strong because we need a platform like Gog,where there is no drm and listened to the users.But if Gog does not sell games of the big distributors at the end of the day, we at Gog few users.

tinyE: I thought GOG already had a strong community.

Darvond: Not only strong, but quite vocal too. Even if most of the people haven't dropped by the forums ever, the fact is, when GOG asks a question, we see to it that they are lent our ears.

yes and ?
drm is still a niche thing and a lot of these big publishers dont like the idea
gog is still one of the biggest digital distribution stores out there at the moment
and it doesnt need the likes of call of duty to thrive especially not the later titles

HiPhish: Take FTL as a example: I'm not saying the game should give you a fully powered ship and just jump you to the last boss, that's boring, but why do I have only the boring ship (Kestrel) at hand? All the other ships have to be unlocked through random events that may or may not happen on a run. If FTL is an RPG the ships are the classes. No RPG will force you to play the game as a fighter before unlocking the mage or rogue class. And yes, I know that some ships are better than others, but so what? In AD&D the cleric class was overpowered as well, but you still didn't have to unlock the cleric in Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale.
Pretty much the reason why I didn't play too much of FTL. Even better, give me a bunch of scrap, selection of hulls and let me design my own ships before a mission. But yes, it's a bit of a shame just how incredibly unbalanced FTL is (I'd say much worse than aDnD)

Fenixp: ...
At least on PC we have the ability to mod the game:

I used a savegame editor to unlock all the ships:

If it wasn't for the editor I would have quit playing the game a long time ago.

melacio: Why Gog there are no games like call of duty , evolve ,shadow of mordors, ryse or dead island?

don't want anyone offended , i like Gog but i wonder if some day come this type of games to Gog
Medal of Honor or similar games are published on GOG, but I wonder you are referring to recent COD games. You are asking for "BIG" in terms of publishing... games from big Publishers, that are also pretty " new". I do not know if you realize this website is named GOG because it cames from GOOD OLD GAMES, and that was the initial motto for this site.

Later they included indie games, and some occasional "new big" games for different reasons (The Witcher belongs to CD Project so obviously is published here) but the kind of games you are asking for aren't exactly the kind of games you should find here.

Hope this would solve your doubts.

melacio: It is sad but without games such as the ones that I have that Gog may only be a minority platform games
You are confusing your own tastes and wishes with other " markets"
avatar
melacio: If Gog wants to grow up as a platform for games you need to large companies,without them ever progress.The users that have Gog in this time always is going to have, but there will be no new users if they are not sold in the Gog "big" games.But I want to congratulate Gog by the drm free, i will have as a user.

Randalator: Gesundheit!

melacio: The achievements are a success, but the users in steam requested a valve that would put an achievements with punctuation and valve did not do so.i i am not a big fan of the achievements but Gog should put achievements with score because it would attract more players
There are also many players that we do not care about achievements, cards, and any other stuff like that. Do you really think that big publishers are going to launch new games without DRM? I worked for them, dream on.

melacio: The first thing you have to do Gog is to create a social community online (integrated voice chat,achievements,profiles,friends list ... ) ,attract some of the major developers and listen to the users.When Gog has a strong community can begin to compete with steam.
Yes and NO. Galaxy is doing this in their own way, developers and publishers do not listen to the users, they listen to the market and their interests, that mostly match partially with the users, this is business, make big games costs a LOT of Money, distribute them, pay salaries, advertise and tons of things. About the other point, GOG has no need to compete with STEAM, it is a total different business, if it were the same, GOG should be doing aggressive maneuvers like not publish the same games as STEAM does, someone said ORIGIN?

GOG is what is it because is DIFFERENT.

By the way, do you think ACTIVISION is going to release a DRM free "NEW" COD so you can share your copy with all your friends to play online Modern Warfare or Black Ops?

I am sorry to tell you this really clearly. But this community and the success of the website was build over a total different premise, and it worked out well enough to even bring here people like you, demanding to have COD or EVOLVE, multiplayer focused games, without DRM, seriously...

It is not going to happen, but you can wait maybe 1 or 2 years to play the first COD games, pre-modern warfare, I wonder if you see that COD games never drop bellow 10-15 euros, (more or less) not even the old ones, not even in the STEAM sales.

Grargar: You mean that publishers don't like DRM? :P
:P Yes! hehe ... Blizzard, EA and ACTIVISION are CRAVING to publish their games here without DRM and not even CD Key, so you can share your game with another 56 friends, so they could become a non profit organization working for the fun of the users... seriously, old gamers and collectors are the "niche" that make GOG works fine, do you guys know as well as me that the BIG audience that buy new and big franchises (Collectors are also there but they are still a niche compared) should not care at all to "share" their non DRM copies of Call of Duty with their whole FACEBOOK list of friends.

And do you think this is the "Target" that GOG should bring here? xD

But frankly speaking, naming these three, they could be a bit less greedy and launch old Warcraft or Diablo here, the pre-MW CODs, and even the old Battlefield Games. That could be reasonable, and pretty wonderful by the way. From these ones only EA is being publishing some games here, and they are good games actually.

And I do not think that GOGers playing Diablo 1 (I do not even dare to name the 2) online would been cannibalize Diablo III market... companies sometimes are REALLY exaggerated about these issues...

Not quite. Even though Activision hasn't published any game ever since October 2012 on GOG, they still have 32 games here. It's only Blizzard that hasn't published a single game outside Battle.net (not even on Steam) and given how they would rather have their older games (like Lost Vikings and Blackthorne) available for free on Battle.net, I doubt we'll see anyt\hing any game of theirs here soon enough. In fact, given how they announced that they were working on digital versions of Warcraft 1+2, I wouldn't be surprised if their next target was the 1st Diablo.

Ops! touche! I forgot that games were from ACTIVISION xDD LOL , this bring some hope about other old good games they have, I would not mind to buy AGAIN the old COD games here, I already have them on retail, steam, and consoles... sic... xD

As you said: BLIZZARD not even need VALVE, so imagine to publish here... I didn't know about that digital versions, thanks. They could publish them on mobile also, they could be great games for Tablets or "Phablets" .

When it comes to FPS, Bulletstorm would be nice.

Darvond: Those games are...pretty terrible and shallow when you get down to it.
I agree, but it would increase their revenue and make GOG a stronger distributor on the market. Of course, it would make GOG more popular and moderators would have to be required most likely. Even less focus on older games and the slow, inevitable glide towards "social" features.
