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.
Oh yeah, also... vote Strike Fleet! Or PHM Pegasus if you prefer. The least wishlist-loved Lucas games around...

Trilarion:
About communication, rather random, being from a (sort of) humor site, but this ended up in my feed today and the timing struck me as interesting:

"Every 6 months I grab a bottle of Basil Hayden’s off the shelf, throw some ice in a glass, and try my best to let theCHIVERS know which way we’re turning the sails here at theCHIVE and I relay information with a healthy dose of history for a couple reasons: We have a lot of new Chivers out there who deserve to know who we are and where we came from.

Second is that framing the future for you with a firm grasp on history is important for me. Losing touch with where you came from as a company is a severe miscalculation. A smart man once told me, “A great startup becomes successful because it stays true to its core ideals. Two middle fingers in the air to the institution… but then like a gypsy moth, if it forgets where it came from, it will become administratively top heavy, lose its culture, and experience its slow and inexorable decline.”

So I write this thing every 6 months, and I truly hope you appreciate the transparency."

Mainly referring to a history and future direction report every 6 months, that is, because for the sticking to core ideals part we can (and will) always just quote them directly just months before they turned around on that.
What can I say... Thank you once more, GOG, for you hard work. Keep it up. ;)
Cheers to those that believes in the power of the wishlists, and cheers to GoG for all their hard work.
They said the honeymoon was over

but, everyday you surprise and delight me, you big beautiful bastard.
Now that's a milestone! Congratulations, GOG!

h.e.X.e.n.: Vote Motorhead please!!!

Cmoooon! :D
This is one of my favourite racing games and one of the few games DICE/Digital Illusions managed to do well, the other few would be Pinball Dreams and Fantasies. Already voted though.
Congratulations GOG, I still remember signing up here back in 2010, the site was still in beta even. Seeing games like Blood, Total Annihilation, Planescape: Torment, and Dark Reign pop up made me so excited..

GOG Galaxy is pretty decent now, but it still needs a lot of work. Though when it matches some key features of Steam, it really could be the first real optional competition towards Steam. (I'm not a 'GOG will have DRM!' conspiracy theorist), the only thing really blocking you guys at that point would be the newer titles that probably won't ever get a chance to be DRM free. But you can still get ones that CAN ;)

But despite all of that, my main focus has always been the games. I use Galaxy, but I also backup all my installers and pack them away safe and sound. What I want, what I always cared about, was the games, and holy shit you've been really acing that lately! So personally, I'm pretty damn happy!

GOG's site could be some ugly ass 90's lookin' website filled with gifs tomorrow but as long as they continued offering the games, I'd be okay (maybe a bit confused) with it.

KiNgBrAdLeY7: Great great great. Now, could we please, have that Command and Conquer, Warcraft, Diablo series, as well as Bloodlines, pretty please?
Blizzard has already expressed multiple times they have zero interest in pretty much ANY sort of 'middleman'. They're one of the most stingy developers when it comes to their ips and I guess WoW really lets them afford to be.

C&C and Bloodlines however, still have a good chance me thinks.
That's quite an achievement GOG! Congratulations! +1

Hopefully the next million doesn't take another seven years. :P
Congrats GOG and thanks for all your hard work.
I can't believe you left out Grim Fandango remastered in the list of most wished for games.

I for one really appreciated it. Keep up the great work.

I suck at this game.

Dear GoG,

I'm getting old. I don't know how much longer I may have. Life goes fast. Before I die I hope you can fulfill my wish. I like to see the following DRM free;

Skyrim
Tomb Raider Anniversary / Legend / Underworld
Force Unleashed 1 & 2
Hitman Blood Money

Sincerely,
Death by aging
Well done guys! This deserves a few shots from the confetti cannon *shoots cannon*

Ah, what the hell, the cow-tapult too! *launches Jersey* FOUR!!!

mrkgnao: 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").
Well I'm obviously in the other camp when it comes to Hotline Miami 2. As for Commandos I can't but agree with you: had I been German I would not have been a happy bunny. Though admittedly I don't know the reasons for this region lock, I'm not generally fond of censorship.
