5 years is a long, long time in the Internet. Let's go down the memory lane!

The beginning of a new year is a good time to stop for a moment and take look back on your past. You take note of your accomplishments, try to learn from your mistakes, and you get all nostalgic about the days gone by. You know we're big on nostalgia, right? With 5 very successful years in the digital gaming market, we thought we'd chat about the company's history a little. We invite you to join CD Projekt's Marcin Iwiński, Guillaume Rambourg, our Managing Director, and Piotr Karwowski, our Creative Director (both of them core members of the GOG.com team who were with us for years), as they talk about the company's history, the concept behind it, and the best (and one not very good) ideas in our history.

Thanks for being with us, dear users, and for making GOG.com the awesome place that it is! Tell us, please--what is your favorite moment in GOG.com history?

Or maybe you would like to become a part of it? Check out our GOG.com/Work page--we may happen to have an opening for a position you'd be perfect for.

My favorite moment? When, after downloading a dozen of Messiah copies and not being able to run it, I found GOG where it worked on the first try. That's GOG in a nutshell for me.
My Favourite moment was finding news of a website that would be selling classic games that would work on a modern pc. The thrill of going to the link given and joining the beta and seeing classics like the Fallout and Freespace games available to buy and even getting 1 game free as well :)

Grats on reaching 5 years and here to the next 5.
When the little bear Atlante appeared for the first time :D
Favorite moment? Joining and buying my first game.
Mine? Easy, the first time I was told to buy Sacrifice.
Thank you, Good Old Games! Great to have you here :>
Favorite moment: Shock 2 released on gog, hands down!

Favourite moment? When you uninstall a GOG game and it screws up something on your system. Such joy.

EDIT: When using the PC MASTER RACE crap, there are no more excuses for doing a bad job. Like said in the video, humble beginning was fun and all that, and we were all supportive, but it has been 5 years now, issues with packages should be fixed in a few hours at the most, not them being with issues for months or even years and no fixes anywhere to be seen.

From the issues that packages have caused, I have no reason to trust another package from GOG. Either X would get screwed up, or Y would get screwed up. Thus now there is no guarantee that additional issues won't show up. To not be able to trust an entity with my system means I would avoid buying from said entity.

Fix every single package to not touch sections of the OS that they are not meant to, remove silly and sorry, but, downright idiotic things like recommending users to disable UAC because YOU did a bad job at packaging the games properly, do not ask for ADMIN rights just because you are stuck in the XP era and just because you can, do not do silly things like removing freaking full Registry keys and instead remove just entries added by the packages, fix the mess in Games Explorer (either use it properly, or don't use it at all, your games just keep causing problems there)... and many other things.

This will most likely get overlooked and downrepped to hell, but I was a very big supporter of GOG during the first few years. So much money have been thrown at this service over the years. I don't know what you are doing in your offices with all that money, but there are 0 excuses for not doing a perfect job anymore.

To still be having the above-mentioned issues is just silly, unprofessional, and it makes you look like you don't really give a crap about fixing issues that are really your own fault and cause real problems.

EDIT2: Such lovely place this has become lately, see, a post criticising obvious downfalls of the service, and a second later you are downrepped and your post hidden. Thank you for even further making this place worse. <3

Getting to play Blood 2 and Dark Rein all over again. Thank you GOG and best of luck for the future!
Favourite moments:

-Finding a digital download site that actually makes sure the games will run on modern systems,

- Finding a site that is DRM free so I don't feel like a criminal when the client needs to go online to check to make sure I can still legally play a game I bought 7+ years ago.

- A site with mods and administrators that have a sense of humour and can joke around with the fanbase.

When JudasIscariot convinced me to put down the money for The Guild .... so many enjoyable hours... might have to install it again...
My favorite moment was learning that not only could I get my classic games but also talk to long-time FANS of those games in a forum setting: Perfect.

Oh, and also Blood, Carmageddon, Carmageddon 2, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Shadow Man, Clive Barker's Undying, Syndicate, System Shock, on and on and on...
Realizing that I already have 100 games on GOG :)
