GOG.com is kicking off regular Twitch shows!

Starting this Thursday, at 8:00PM GMT (that's 1:00PM PST, 4:00PM EDT), we're bringing GOG.com original shows to our official Twitch.tv/gogcom channel, with some really great hosts, entertaining let's plays, premiere spotlights, and an occasional early look. With all the possibilities that the game streaming service offers, we're excited to connect with you, dear GOG gamers, in yet another way. We've got so many games to show you - both new releases and all-time favorite GOG classics. This should be fun!

Each Thursday, at 8:00PM GMT, one of our Twitch guest hosts will be going online with a live stream full of gaming goodness. We want to start with something off-beat, original, and quirky to make sure that GOG.com Twitch channel lives up to your expectations. That's why we'll be streaming a Devolver Digital release, Hatoful Boyfriend, the indisputable king of pigeon dating sims. Our host tomorrow: BaerTaffy, a Twitcher known for his refined taste in indie games, and a connoisseur of classics.

Join us tomorrow at 8:00PM GMT on our official Twitch.tv/gogcom channel to see our first streaming gameplay and meet the first guest host. Subscribe and stay with us, to find out what shows we have in store for the coming Thursdays and what other fantastic hosts did we invite to our channel.

Not exactly Twitch-savvy? No problem! You'll be able to see the whole thing right here:

P1na: BTW, will it be a black&white show or did you manage to rescue the kidnapped colors?
LOL, nice one.

Frozen: Japanese pronunciation of "hatoful" is "Haa-to-fu-ru"
Was about to reply but you beat me to it. :)


Twitch? No thank you. I don't get the appeal of watching a twitch stream vs youtube. The latter I can watch whenever I want, pause, skip over parts, etc. Like regular TV, DVR is so much better than watching live - except for sports.

Erich_Zann: Another "social media" shit I never heard of ? Whatever brings you new customers I guess.

I'm more interested in the upcoming oldies someone in blue alluded to in a forum answer somewhere amidst the greystorm of the past week.

tfishell: Sauce? Only thing that actually interests me, too (aside from maybe Wasteland 2 and Dreamfall Chapters getting confirmed).
I believe he is talking about this.

That's cool; I wonder if this tweet - https://twitter.com/thatbarnettblok/status/503569862346547201 - helped. (Though I hope it's more than just this, of course.)

Doesn't make up for the lose of Nordic though, of course.

Maybe lets hope so and yeah shame about Nordic.
I seem to have just bumped your twitch follower count up to the 1500 milestone. I shall be around for a little while to sign autographs.

Will there be low quality streams available? I watch on my potato laptop while gaming and some of the forced HD quality streams on twitch are like slideshows for me.

I'll certainly check it out though. I like having twitch on in the background while I do stuff, and I'm interested in Hatoful Boyfriend because pigeons.

de_Monteynard: So, will you guys address any of our concerns with the new website during tomorrow's broadcast or will you continue leaving us in the dark?
Today's Twitch stream will be all about the game, but rest assured we are preparing a Q&A type of broadcast soon and we'll be gathering questions from the community. We're giving it some time as by that time at least some of your collective concerns will be addressed and some of the reported problems fixed.

Yeah that was it ; thanks by the way ! I didn't know about the ?staff=yes thing and wasn't about to read the threads back to front again.

Hell yea it does. C&C DRM free alone would be enough. Or the Mass Effect games with all dlcs included and DRM free.

Mass Effect making up for the loss of Gothic 2 ? You're insane, my good man.
What's next, The Sims would make up for the loss of Alpha Centauri ?

It's good to know that things aren't completely set in stone.

There is one more thing I would like to know. Will the changes made before the Q&A broadcast be presented publicly - that is, will you publish the change log? This way we would know what was modified and we won't have to repeat ourselves afterwards.

Well I've already bought Gothic 2 here... And if things clear up between Nordic and GOG, it may yet return...

Oh I have it too, that's not the point. If games disappear, they can't be sold, hence less revenue for GOG and potentially (even) fewer interesting new releases since the less revenue they make, the less interesting business partner they are.

Now come to think of it, that pile of manure Mass Effect could indeed make up for the loss, as it should sell well, and hence potentially allow for interesting stuff to come. Which is after all the point of manure ; disgusting, putrid and offensive to the senses, but makes thing grow.

That's a good point. I'll take note of what you said, so I'll make sure the changes get either announced or posted publicly.

I hereby announce that I'll ask about new GOG t-shirts. :-D Like I did in all the previous streams.

Do you really want gray T-Shirts?

Perhaps you should wait until GOG reverses their logo redesign before buying any GOG merchandise.
