Just about 30,000 Wishes Added
Around 3,980,000 Votes Cast
And over 1,000,000 Votes Fulfilled

The Community Wishlist is one of the things that makes GOG.com tick, because no matter what, we're always working hard to listen and deliver. Whether it's games, website features, or GOG Galaxy development - the Community Wishlist is always the first place we look, and it's proven time and time again to be our favorite bargaining chip on the quest for new games and a better GOG.com. With just a tad over one million wishlist votes fulfilled, we want to take this opportunity to look at just a few of the wishes we got to take on.





Out of all the games in the world, several stand out as most highly requested. <span class="bold">System Shock 2</span> at 36,000 votes was one of our first major conquests - this is the game that really paved way for the most fantastic retro releases and, back when we needed it most, showed how much demand and excitement there can still be for the classics. Who knows, perhaps there is more legendary horror lurking right around the corner, hackers.
<span class="bold">The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind</span> at 25,000 votes just joined our gang alongside the earlier Elder Scrolls titles and more Bethesda goodness - but that's not all the wishlisted games, not by a long shot. With your help we checked off the <span class="bold">X-Wing</span> and <span class="bold">TIE Fighter</span> series, <span class="bold">DOOM</span> & <span class="bold">Quake</span>, <span class="bold">Sam &amp; Max Hit The Road</span> and way, way more.





Bit by bit, we're improving GOG.com - adding new features, and changing things up. Across the years we've added and [url=https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/add_linux_versions_of_games]Linux support (and then changed the Linux icon) to your games, introduced little things like update notifications, [url=https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/change_log_in_game_library] change-logs, and the ability to mark your games as completed (and many other tags). The community wishlist was also one of the many reasons we began working on GOG Galaxy.





There's still a lot of work ahead of us, and there are a ton of things in progress: we're still hunting for more, and more, and more classics, we're working on making GOG Galaxy the best gaming client you've ever used, and we're still actively seeking a specialist who can hook us up with some more time (a few hours per day would be nice) to do all that. All of this, while we continue to be a DRM-free store today, tomorrow, and forever!





The community wishlist is a great way for you to keep us aware of your needs, and it's an equally powerful tool for us to react, and to prioritise the future. So if there's a game you've always wanted, a great idea for the site, or something that's been bugging you for ages - don't hesitate, make a wish or cast your vote. It might just become our next big project.

mrkgnao: One more thing, important to me:
- No regional locking (lost on February 25, 2015, with the Hotline Miami 2 games and the Commandos series).

MightyPinecone: What, you mean no one should get Hotline Miami 2 because of Austalian censorship laws? Yeah, sounds like a great idea...

EDIT: I should have gone easy on the sarcasm, but either we accept region locking, or any game that gets banned anywhere gets banned everywhere.
That's OK. I expected this kind of reaction.
I agree Hotline Miami 2 is a tricky question, with fair arguments on both sides, so let's take something simpler.

For years Commandos had been available on GOG for everyone, including Germans. Then in February 2015 it suddenly stopped being available for Germans. Did Germany in any way change its laws. Of course not. So why was the series regionally locked?

The only reason (and this has been confirmed by GOG on the forums) is that GOG decided to open a German store front. And on the day they opened it, they locked the Commandos games. To which I say "don't open a foreign language store front if the price is regional locking". The blame in this case is entirely on GOG.

As for Hotline Miami 2, I can see both sides of the coin, although for myself I am in the same camp as Cavalary ("The more people are affected by a wrong, perhaps the greater the pressure to right it would be").

Congratulations, GOG! I'm amazed how you've been able to get these classic games to not only work on modern PCs, but work great. You've done an absolutely stellar job. Thank you for bringing back so many epic memories of my youth!

I've been a fan for several years now, but the big thing for me was you acquiring the rights to the classic LucasFilm Games/LucasArts titles. I was waiting for that to happen in what seemed like an eternity. lol

Speaking of which, any word on when we can expect Shadows of the Empire, Battle for Naboo, Episode I: Racer and the original Battlefront? ^_^

Wow, speaking the truth here just cost me 5 rep points. Good thing rep points are meaningless.

Anyways, people wonder why I'm so cranky and judgmental about the newbs around here. I don't care about the points, but it is a reflection of the Steam-like groupthink that's been creeping in over the years.
Nice. Wow, a service that actually cares and listens to it's customers. GG GOG 8).
Congratulations GOG, keep up the good work and don't forget your roots!
Congrats gog on releasing so many classic games look forward to next 7 years

Vector_Leader: original Battlefront? ^_^
Seth Davis: "Battlefront original is virtually all online and the server company went out long ago. A release would be nearly unplayable."

Someone objected: "I managed to have fun on the single player. And besides, BF2 is on GOG and that is mostly online."

Seth Davis: "Understood. We had some folks look into it and the assessment was that it wouldn't be a great experience for most people."

Seth Davis: "Will have them look again"

Cavalary: They're not not selling games in China at the moment, people from there can buy. (Or at least MaGOG doesn't detect anything blocked there, does it?)
Nothing blocked in China, at least not at the game page level.

Multiplayer is obviously online save for LAN (which would still be awesome), but everything else is functional and lots of fun. At the very least it's better than nothing.
Great great great. Now, could we please, have that Command and Conquer, Warcraft, Diablo series, as well as Bloodlines, pretty please?
Still very low votes on:

O.D.T.
Powerslave
Corridor 7
Psychotoxic
Congrats on the milstone, a good number of things among the fulfilled wishes, though I can't help but point out that you've been naughty on a few occasions and have tampered with the wishlist entries.
If it weren't for the problems that leave a sour taste in the mouth of a number of us, things would be swell all around.

The big question though is - when, and what will it take for the Community Wishlist to leave Beta? Do we need to make a wishlist entry for it?

mrkgnao: I'm surprised they didn't do a "million wishes" sale. It's been so long since GOG had a sale. I believe it's about time.
Cheers for the chuckle, you never disappoint.

mrkgnao: Not wishing to argue about it, but this is simply not true. You (assuming you indeed live in Finland) pay approximately 2.5 times the average price that a person in Kazakhstan (for example) does on more than 1,100 GOG games and you don't get any store credit for the vast majority of it.

As always, the devil is in the details of Table VIII.
FTFY!
I know how important wishlists are, and I vote for oldies and add new wishes every now and then.
All I can say is that I have more fun (and I buy more of 'em) with the indies than with the classics.

For a service formerly named "Good Old Games" they surely know how to pick new ones and make them stunning, from frontpage to game over.

HenitoKisou: Powerslave
Powerslave was really sweet back in the day. I hope GOG will bring it here soon.

Must be one of the first games I voted for on the community wishlist.

Thank you so much GOG! My life wouldn't be the same without you.
