Almost 7 Years
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.

Smannesman: Also what they're boasting is factually incorrect and they point it out themselves immediately.
I'd argue that it is actually not factually incorrect because "wish" can also mean "a wish of an individual person". If that's what you mean then you can claim to have granted 1,000,000 wishes if you've granted 1,000,000 users one of their wishes - even if it is the same one.
It does conflict conflict with the other meaning of "wishes" that they use themselves to name the items that votes are cast on, though.

Even if you take votes to mean 'wishes' that number is incorrect, unless you assume every single vote is someone staying up late at night and praying and wishing for those games to come to GOG.
Which I know is incorrect since I've voted and my votes only mean "Eh, I guess I wouldn't mind seeing that here".
Not to mention all the 'Vote for X and maybe win a game' threads that popped up a while ago.
I see the statement that they have granted 1,000,000 of the wish votes that have been cast regardless of actual users. Even at the beginning of the statement they put it forward as such.

Is that the only way you can understand the concept of a wish?
I'm not sure.
So, you argue that your votes are just expressions of interest and that a wish can never be as little as an expression of interest? Wouldn't the same apply to the individual wishlist entries as well? But don't we all agree that you can refer to the wishlist entries as wishes, regardless of your motive when creating the entry?
You may be right, but I'm not completely sure that what they're claiming is factually incorrect in a context like this one.

It should at the very least be a very strong desire, not just 'an expression of interest'.
Just because I look at someone with some interest doesn't mean I wish for them to be mine.
And a 'vote' is not a 'wish', even GOG clearly uses different terms.

NoAGood: Good Old Games ..

I'm from the old days of gaming on computers. I was there when dos was young and used many old machines like .. 8086 / 8088, 80286, 80386 and so on. When windows came along, I stuck with just dos for many many years, but "eventually" installed windows. I was not really impressed. I missed using my computer the way I had it setup with menu and all my configured programs. Games (dos) was on my main Menu and that lead to various games in sub-menus. I kept a DOS machine running for a good many years, but eventually it got tired and so did I. (tired of all the work and various configurations). The old 486-dx4-100 is still around here someplace. The thing weighs a ton. So, DOSbox has done nothing but get better and better and so hasn't gog. I got to play a lot of the old games again. It was hard to just grab a game and try to install and play it. Copy protection was often a big pain in the butt. A hex editor and unlocker programs helped sometimes, but not always.

I was elated when - Good Old Games started up and I could once more be the old dos gamer of yesteryear .. Without spending much and without having to do much of anything. GOG made it fun and easy!

I typed in my key for the game - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SOC that I had packed away and boom .. GOG added it to my Library.
How could you beat that?

I could go on, but gog .. know the work .. you all do .. is very much appreciated!

Thank You!

P. S. Why would anyone want to give up on all those cool programs? .. Xtreegold, List, PC-Tools, Word Perfect, Norton Editor, MPxPlay, MegaMid, ZipMaster, EasyMenu lol ;) ;)
Same here! Now I'm fighting to stay at Windows 7 lol
Gog you are the best! This year alone you have added so many old games I wanted! Topping it all off with Doom! Sure there are a few others I would like to see like Powerslave, Battletech CresentHawk, Dust a Tale From the Wired West. I certainty can't complain! So many of the games I love from the past, DRM free, most I can get on sale, download all I want. Also you are still trying to track down even more. I have only bought one game from Steam and I wonder why. I thought about Doom from them for a while, but said nah I will wait for GOG even though it hurts so bad. Lo and behold! Anyway just saying thanks for all the great work! I even like a few indies like Legend of Grimrock. Movies are meh for me, but if they sale, good for you. You are really the only game site I buy from, 99% of the time. Only a couple others, and I really only check you guys now. So yes, I love you man!

Oh yeah,...wishes added: 22, wishes voted: 1177

The only true alternative to Steam.
Thank you for existing!
Many thanks GoG! Everyone on the team has been doing a great job, I don't know where I'd be without you guys today tbh...

There's still two games that I really miss however. I truly know these games has a really dark future right now with Activision and Warner Bros sitting on whatever licenses that may still be around... I cry myself to sleep sometimes longing for these gems of games. Promise me, that even though things may seem dark for Cate Archer, promise me, that you guys will fight for her and bring us No one lives forever 1 & 2 here to GoG some day. At least never stop trying! If you do that, then I'll forever in your debt, I'd probably build a GoG-altar as well.

PaveMentman: If you two are referencing mainly to "regional-pricing" alongside few other pricing-related variants, they were simply things GOG.com-team had to apply mainly both due laws and make contracts with publishers.
Either GOG.com would have abided with these necessary changes, or other than not having these games for sale in the first place, we'd might have GOG.com going out of business due law-suits and such (E.G. any type and sort of tax-evasion is utmost serious-offence almost anywhere in the Tellus / Earth).

GOG.com-team already is using a semi-loophole by giving you the the credits to your personal "Difference-wallet", so in the end everyone pays the same price technically.

But this is a "dead-horse"-topic(s) that many people seem to refuse educate themselves about (even though they're pretty much basics of any consumer-knowledge nowadays; granted, not all schools teach these things to less than 15-years-old kids; also granted that I personally started educate myself about business-world when I was 6-years old, to which I blame my single-parent-mother and farmer / entrepreneur-father of mine, alongside of course all the business-management-simulation-video-games...)...
So, let's say I want to educate myself... which laws are you referring to and what do regional prices have to do with tax evasion?

Avogadro6: So, let's say I want to educate myself... which laws are you referring to and what do regional prices have to do with tax evasion?
Don't bite. I bet he can't even explain why some games are still flat-priced. GOG already paid tax, it's simply not visible to the user and already included in the prices. (unlike indie gala for example)
