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.
Mr.X_from_DGN Shortly after Epic Games did buy Psyonix, Psyonix did discontinue the development of the MacOS and Linux / SteamOS versions of the Game Rocket League. Also, Psyonix did kill-off the online features for the MacOS and Linux / SteamOS versions of the Game.

LeoLiGOG Tencent stock Epic for global(including China for some reasons) market and they have their own WeGame/ We Game X for Chinese casuals
Johny_Johnson1221 I agree
BrandonSelleck That Valve seems to be leaking some Steam "community" again :(
gtsr While I certainly would prefer Epic Game Store over Steam (up yours to all the geopolitical keyboard warriors), staying independent is even better (for you and for us).
vespa35 Where's the downvote button? I don't like it when mediums present a mechanism for positively reacting and no other.
jollygooduser *TENCENT*
ladyonthemoon Don't get bought by anyone!
Topoli Stay autonomous, independent and therefore free. <br /> gog is a gem in an ocean of drm parasites.
DarkBullBzz -1 <br /> China is still better than trumpia.
Frischi +1
strayano +1. I will not give one cent to any company that is friendly to the chinese regime , so if GOG went that route, it's over for me as a customer! <br /> But why is there so much concern about this? Has there been any information that would imply this will happen? We need to work to maintain the only DRM-free gaming platform left on the internet, and make sure they stick to their values.
Afskälig +1
Shykotic +1
Trajhenkhetlive Going for the Trifecta of non good will here? Honestly with whats going on in that part of the world, I would be hesitant to do any business dealings there considering what kind of game store GOG is. If you guys are falling over Devotion I hate to think what will happen next under Tencent. Remember your pillars gentlefolk.
Krenum26 Please do not sell out to China. China is evil.
FallenHeroX1 People concerned about Epic Games buying GOG should be more concerned about GOG capitulating to the Chinese government that owns Epic.
Dolbarg Same as EA, not to Epic Games. <br /> Keep GOG free of weasels.
jasonhuen1983 The epic stealing of player information is not news. <br /> Tencent owns 48.4% of Epic the shares,Tencent is CCP Support company .Did you knew? <br />
Sirkrozz Epic Games Store equals Tencent. Tencent equals datamining and contempt for gamers. They do not respect or revere games, they just give them away for free to catch casuals (who also happen NOT to love games) and all their acquaintances' data. <br /> <br /> Don't ever (EVER) be like Epic Games, the equivalent of SOuth Parks' Chinpokomon.. Never show respect for Chinese b**ches like Tim Sweeney.
