InsomniMACK Seriously, Fuck those guys. <br /> <br /> Dont get bought by Stem either, but Steam doesnt get a "fuck you" like Epic does.
##@@##@@ Hey
erikrotaar Please don't.
PeppermintLegend +1
halflifedave A sudden announcement to use the term "DRM" more loosely, less than a week later they form a very close partnership with Epic. They never did say this feature was in progress...
andreasaspenberg2 they got purchased by cd project instead.
CallMeNighthawk I click on the weekly free EPIC game, but I'd never in my wildest dreams give money to them, I don't even include the games I have on their as being a part of my collection. GOG lacks A LOT of community features, but at least they have a nice MySpace 2005 layout, EPIC doesn't even let you have a profile pic lmaooooo. I do have a very real fear of GOG going under one day and I'll no longer be able to own my digital video games moving forward. But the Steam rental website will just have to do.
songsmith2003 If GOG gets bought out by Epic, I will DL all current games and never purchase from GOG again. Epic does not care for its customers.
CUSTOD3S CD Projekt owns GOG.com. <br /> <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> GOG.com</a> cannot actually decide if or by whom it gets bought. <br /> <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> GOG.com</a> will go the way of Netflix if it became owned by a major publisher.
Comic-Sams Epic lacks care and respect for the customer
tsath1972 I agree. EPIC is an awful company and I've had nothing but headache with their customer support refusing to follow their own policy. I will *never* give money to EPIC, and if GOG and EPIC become one company, I will extend that boycott to GOG. I can see from the comments here I'm not alone. Merging with EPIC would be the end of GOG. Run away. Fast. Severe this new shared platform agreement ASAP.
bqwert1 This is stupid. There is nothing about GOG worth anything to Epic. Epic Games Store is on another level, like it or not.
K1ll3r_Punch Damn, right now after fail of CP77 it's so close.
permanaj Oh my, a lot of hate to Epic. You guys better start avoiding game created by Unreal Engine then.
lysy231 Dudes.. but you know Epic don't want to buy GOG or CDP Red? Yeah? xd
Artea Unreal Tournament Begins! <br /> Also people are forgetting that Epic Games helped alot of old games arise.. Tyrian is one of them... Jazz Jackrabbit 2 too... <br /> This is like EA all over again... Just listen, what comes comes... <br /> Like someone say, this isn't in our control... True that things are what they should be, but hey, who was playing games on 11:59 PM 31th December 1999 - I was, and Internet Bubble burst... <br /> Now we're living Internet Bubble 3.0, just be grateful we are still alive and play the Games we Love!
Dar007-Eleven Keep Epic the hell away from GOG. <br /> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/</a>
RaidenOne I never buy games from EGS. First of all, I try to buy in GOG. And only if this game is not here, I buy it in Steam. But I will never buy from EGS
Ryarod I didn't even know this to be a risk. <br /> <br /> I only just got here. I don't want for GOG to be bought out before I can even begin.
TiraBlue please stay GOG forever. In the end you will prevail. GOG all the way!
cry4dawn Epic games is GARBAGE! I will never support them.
BitLiz I actually will support Epic Games if they buy out GOG - and they add Devotion and retain the DRM-less of GOG.
se7ens22 I've been games in GOG since 2011. Lords of the Realm 2 was my first game to buy and bought more throughout the years. I do know GOG has integrated Epic Games into their gaming platform. But I swear, if GOG gets bought by Epic Games, I will not support Epic. Unless they stay true to DRM free or continue to make old games compatible with windows 10 x64.
cokoyiro <br /> <br /> Please don't get bought by Epic Games
NateVsEvil "I think the issue is that if every single PC copy of CP77 was bought on GOG, there would be no questions about money, are there any suggestions about CDPR needing the money? TLDR."
NateVsEvil Wait, I can't edit my comment? What platform is this, Epic Games?
NateVsEvil I was about to buy CyberPunk 77, but now I am having second thoughts if this is true. I thought the philosophy of GOG was about independence from large international corporations like Epic Games. I would rather Apple bought you. I trust them more to protect DRM free games. <br /> <br /> I think the issue is that every single PC copy of CP77 was bought on GOG, there would be no questions about money, are there any suggestions about CDPR needing the money? TLDR. <br /> <br /> Ultimately my, like others here, issue with Epic Games is mostly connect to the Tencent/China mega corps that own 51%? of Epic. I also am uncomfortable with the way they play the good guy in the world of digital entertainment. <br /> <br /> Yes
mattig89ch Please don't get bought by Epic Games
Frostyfirefly "You will own nothing, and you will like it" Yours truly, TENCENT
nosystemworks "Epic is communist owned." <br /> <br /> If you put it like that perhaps this isn't a bad thing after all... ^^
dmtdave NOOOOO GOG! not you guys too! <br /> Epic is communist owned.
alcaray I'm not for sale.
throet Here's the fun thing about buying a game on GoG. It doesn't matter if EGS buys GOG. <br /> <br /> I still have my DRM free games, and there's nothing EGS can do to take that away from me.
randallsb Sure are alot of internet folks now these days that use game storefronts and exclusivity rights that they didn't oppose on any of the other platforms they currently support and own to "slyly" throw around racist and derogatory propaganda about other human beings and their countries. <br /> <br /> I thought this was a free space, where one was free to speak about likes and dislikes.. without being bashed into the ground by the internet prejudice police. just saying. <br /> <br /> racism and predjudice is just that, and you can say it is cause of fragmentation, or just cause of the amount of platform storefronts already offered, but meh. it is what it is, own it if you want to say it. im not biased to any storefront, have all of them installed, they all start on my computer, and run fine.. without fighting amongst each other. <br /> <br /> wish i could say the same for folks who post on forums about them when they start on their tirades. <br /> <br /> cheers and have a safe and happy year!
Smosesvi22 Don't fall prey to Winnie the Pooh please!
rick_koscheck The difference between a console exclusive and a PC exclusive is $600 for a second console and a click away to install another program.
Pexuwais For me, only Steam and GOG are my only platforms for PC, and I am very comfortable with them.
Oberrill I am not sure what the facts are surrounding this cotroversy, but I can say that if GoG sells any percentage of their business to Tencent or any other Chinese owned or affiliated company, I am done buying games here. i am already upset about the "Devotion" debacle. Epic Games? No way! I was going to buy Fortnite, but fortunately, I found out that Tencent owns a large percentage of Epic Games before I wated money on it. <br />
cottinghamk Oh my god this is embarrassing
Loggien Exclusives are the only reason Epic has become what it is, they bought Psyonix, the creators of Rocket League, has a deal with Disney, but their phiosophy is much different than GOG, they only focus on modern games and such.
FaithTheSlayer This is a stupid wish, not because I want gog to sell to epic (Which I Don't) but because this "wish" is outside of the realm of reality, Stick to requesting games, something they can work on doing for us, Asking for this sort of thing is not only childish but silly, our wishes like this wont pay their bills but requesting games that they can bring to gog that we in turn buy, do!
zgamer100 Wow you are so childish lol
Susu_jpg Okay, but you see, Epic sucks because not all my games are on it. Also the client lags sometimes. And Fortnite bad. Is it so hard to understand ? <br /> What ? Developer margins ? Industry monopoly ? Manufactured brand loyalty ? What are you talking about ?
jorg11 Yeah, I'm not a fan of the way Epic tries to compete with other stores. The words "exclusive" and "timed exclusive" used to belong to console warrior land, and I certainly didn't want to see that brought into the PC gaming world, but here were are... Epic's launcher and store is still pretty bad. They don't want to compete by building a better product, they want to force people to go there if they want to play certain games (by throwing around a lot of Fortnite and Tencent cash). If this succeeds that would have seriously bad implications for PC gaming (every company with cash starts to do this, leading to a lot of fragmentation). I hope GOG stays away from this, and remains independent.
EtaYorius Steam and GOG for me, the rest can go F themselves.
nermink Wrath-Amon: "EGS is better than Steam" - No it isn't. 2 years for a goddamn shopping cart. A liar as a CEO who keeps contradicting himself saying that they allow creators to sell their software the way they want and then when a small dev comes in and says they want their game to be on EGS and Steam they say "Nu uh, exclusive on EGS or fuck off". Look up the story behind the devs of Darq. Barebones software. <br /> <br /> "Valve is greedy for taking 30%" - common claim, after 10 mio. revenue they take 25% and after 50 Mio. $ revenue they take 20%. Valve allows developers to create Steam keys to sell on their websites for a 0/100 split for the dev. Neither Apple, Google, Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo do this. Ohh but yes, EGS is "better than Steam". 0 features, while Steam has Family Sharing, excellent controller support, working offline mode, Remote Play, Workshop for mods and offers and the latest game festivals with hundreds of demos to play. <br /> <br /> They have terrible security <br /> Terrible customer service <br /> Breaking EU laws constantly <br /> You can't play games offline <br /> Limited social features <br /> No screenshots <br /> No controller support <br /> They are partially owned by Tencent (48%) <br /> No achievements <br /> Bugged Cloud Saves <br /> No game forums <br /> Epic make you pay the transaction fee when purchasing games in developing countries <br /> They can refuse refunds even if you meet the criteria <br /> No Userreviews <br /> No Linux support (Tim Sweeney hates Linux) <br /> Backwards stance as a company on competition <br /> <br /> EGS -> worst possible take on competition, far behind their roadmaps, throwing money around instead of delivering features <br /> GOG -> That's how you do competition and I love using GOG and Steam, offering features that Steam doesn't have. <br /> <br /> Not even talking about how Epic is owned 48% by a chinese data giant and China usually sanctions such huge companies. ..
BarnetSatori Love the Linux support, drm-free games which you really own :) <br /> I just appreciate this awesome service and hope they stay for a long long time. <br /> Just thanks
wordweaver While I haven't heard any rumors about this, the thought is alarming. I've been a die-hard GOG fan for years . The moment I discovered I could buy many of my favorite games from my adolescence I was hooked. And while DRM-free was and is one of the--if not THE--primary reason I stay, you had me at Ultima IV... <br /> <br /> I can't stress enough how vital Gog is to us; so, yeah, don't get bought by Epic.
seerobbe91 please don't stop supporting mac os ports :)
Mr.X_from_DGN These are reasons to worry about takeovers by bigger companies & big tech.
