Dosto23 F* timmy tencent the hypocrite.
SirBasketofCase If you sell GOG, then offer to turn it into a Public-benefit nonprofit corporation...let the users "buy" it from you for that purpose. I don't know how this would work legally, but this to me seems the best option if at all possible.
M4rk_B This thread has been going on for three years or more. If it was going to happen it would've by now.
SIGO23 Hello guys I am new here I used to thought why Gog isn't merchandise with Steam and epic they got good amount of users but after reading comments here and researching on my own it's good if they all are separated on their own. If they merch there wouldn't be a competition and for that there will be no creativity and we audience will suffer at the end I myself might not get the full idea why people don't want the gog collaboration with other xyz companies but I feel if they merch it will almost be like either Xbox situation where they don't focus on new game's but try to expanding their old ips
uncle_oric The mere thought of somebody buying Good Old Games just a month after I discovered this wonderful source is enough to make me cry. I know I'm late to the game here, but PLEASE don't sell out to some greedy company with no support! I promise I'll buy a lot more games if you stay independent!
OmegaZeroooo Or Microsoft or EA.
LinuxPusher If GOG sells out to EA epic or whomever I will have nowhere to get my games crap free (DRM)
I will have no choice but to give up on buying any more games anywhere permanently.
Its bad enough I cant plat Crysis 3 without EA installing their garbage on my Computer,... no internet no way to play it.
This is a Really good way to lose customers
You Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You !
rw9hkj8uu 1st it got infested by Epic Games Launcher for some games, 2nd CD Projekt Red has abandoned its own game engine in favour of bloated and unoptimized Unreal Engine 5. I'm afraid it may get bought if that's where it is going... and I dislike thinking about that.
whitepawn I've bought your stock complete with the out of country purchase fees, in part, because of GOG and the principle behind "good old games" as DRM free.
Please do not disappoint.
hexamelon i don't see how they would? its not like epic games is doing that good financially rn
Reznov64 Could happen still considering GOG kowtowed to Epic and removed all Unreal Tournament games.
ChrisOzzie Hopefully GOG knows their customers will run for the hills if some mega-corp like EA, Epic, Blizzard, etc buys their platform. By the way, what's the deal with these strange comments below about crypto scams? They should direct these shady offers on Epic's store since it's filled with crypto games with predatory monetization.
Yomboc Communism is the enemy of humanity.
It has proved itself to be truly evil.
I would say the proof lies in mass graves in the form of millions decayed corpses in every former or current communist country. But we have so much more proof than that now that only those whom are ignorant or themselves evil can't see see this truth.
Are you ignorant? Or evil?
If neither then don't sell yourselves to the "devil".
I don't know what the situation but if you have to sell GOG sell it to Steam instead.
primosz67 I swear that from this point I will buy games only here because I like the idea of Europe having own game store that can rival Evil USA Steam and Dictator China/Epic.
UnrelatedComa been using Epic Game store for about a year and just adding the weekly free game to my library, played one of them which was a roguelike dungeon crawler called Lost Castle, turns out while that game runs it uses huge amounts of internet bandwidth to send and receive data, its a single player game with a retro 16 bit aesthetic, theres no reason for it to be using gigs of data while playing, Epic Game Store is giving away really shady stuff
oldm8bennyboy Think about it GOG started with DRM Free in mind, do they sound like shills to you? they could have chosen to pull an "Epic Store" if they wanted to with TW3 and CP but they didn't.
Quto I'd invest in Gog if it keeps them from being bought out.
These guys are one of the few last bastions in gaming against owning what you pay for.
dick1982 more like don't get bought by Tencents or any communist corpos.
amenthes I think we can safely mark this as "accomplished". www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23894266/epic-games-layoffs-fortnite-unreal-engine

Daedalus90k Don't get bought out by Steam/Valve.
BreenBrigand We better hope one of those private investing companies don't buy out GOG games. That would be worse than EA and Epic games combined, this service would get gutted like a fresh fish out of water and ran into the ground.

SoheiYamabushi Epic has too much influence by certain shady investment companies. Stay very far away.
ikukona that's not happening, don't get yo brains in a scramble
Adpocalyptic Seems more likely now, although on the Brightside epic will probably add more free giveaways to this.
killerscv Download every game you buy and put them on a cloud drive or local storage. Trust no one. If you do ever sell they wont get me. I download everything.

Please don't get bought by ANYONE. x2
Street Hawk Please don't get bought by ANYONE.
ThatRadioGeek They're already owned by CDProjekt. They have no reason to sell.
Reavenling And please don't get infected by Epic Games Launcher any further. Enough of this cancer spreading in old installers/editions. It's too bad.
Kiimby What it's happening?
Shahius Did I miss something, guys? Is there something in the news? Is EPIC going to buy CD Projekt's GOG? Why is this topic here?
Aryamehr06 why would they
GoG its own shop, and Epic its own...
EerieDecay34 GOG team. i cast my vote because you have worked hard for this website and i want to be able to let my grandkids be able to buy from you one day so please sever the contract as soon as you possibly can, it is against your site, it is a betrayal to the people who have bought from you, what will they do if suddenly they can't play their games anymore? as for a refund? it will be thousands if not 100 thousands lost in this endeavour of getting bought by Epic this is my stand i hope to see that this wish is granted
FireWire400 They bought Bandcamp recently, which more or less is the equivalent of GoG for music. I think they'll buy GoG at some point, too, and there's nothing that we can do about it. CDPR really fucked up with Cyberpunk and is now taking the piss on their customers with the whole Epic Games deal they have going.
Peanutmayor Do...Not...Seek...The...Treasure!
Vik270 Do not get bought by anyone at all
koobiii Why would they
SilentBleppassin Do not get hijacked by Epic Games from the inside a well!
dal Neither do not get bought by PlayStation and Sony
TraxHigh Okay.
Sarang Everyone here has their gripes about Epic but my fear is TenCent getting ahold of my data should Epic buy GOG. After all, TenCent owns a lot of Epic Games stock and can have undue infuence in my opinion.
TenCent is a HACK games comapny that copies more successful games(see: rips off) and even doesn't do it competently like Naughty Dog. I mean if they did then they would be pushing TenCent made games outside of China left and right so in order to steal foreigner's money they have bought stock in Platinum Games and many other prominent game comapnies that we like. For movies they've paid for co-productions.with American movie companies.
I already addressed their connections at the beginning.
stupidGAM3R I'm really sorry Mkhuseli5k. It was a total slip of the finger. Or a spasm rather. Didn't mean to report your comment and I can't seem to get it undone.
Mkhuseli5k Epic is a legacy game company but their focus is on live services. Not game preservation. If it had to happen then I hope CDP is bought by Embracer Group who care more about game preservation than live services.
Gamelore Do not get bought by Embracer Group either. Don't get bought by anyone!
InsomniMACK Seriously, Fuck those guys.
Dont get bought by Stem either, but Steam doesnt get a "fuck you" like Epic does.
##@@##@@ Hey
erikrotaar Please don't.
