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.
Great work - well done to all involved!

And boo to DRM!
And we're all damn thankful for that.

But you really need a forum overhaul. ASAP.

Thanks for your hard work, GOG crew (and friends ;)).
Poor forum, didn't make it:(
Nice :)

Out of curiousity, what was the millionth wish granted?

DrearierSpider: You seem to have short term memory issues. Within the last year, they've added Disney/Lucasarts classics, Bethesda, numerous D&D games, Star Trek games, etc. They're still very much about old games, we simply have more options. I'm all for the ability to buy new games DRM-free.

hedwards: What does that have to do with my statement that they sold out on all their principles? They did fold on the DRM they put into the installers, but the principle was that they'd never do it. Not that they'd take it back if there were an outcry.
I was responding to your claim that they used to be about old games, because they very much still are about old games. On this issue, you're simply whining about having more options.
how nice :) thanks for being here for us GOG!

Not really what I meant. They used to be just old games, now the focus has slipped quite a bit. They do get new games, but it's not their focus.

Barefoot_Monkey: Nice :)

It was that busload of nubile young ladies I wished for, just waiting for Gog to confirm when they arrive.

How can you claim their focus has slipped considering how many classics they've added over the last year alone?

tfishell: Very cool to see this acknowledged. :) I didn't personally want a free game, but it would have been an opportunity to show up Steam and Origin.
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.

They were? Oh, right, it's not like they had 2 year old games when you joined (TOCA Race Driver 3). Nor 3 year old ones (Second Sight), nor 4 year old ones (Lionheart, Perimeter, Soldiers: Heroes of WW2, Colin McRae 2005).
Then again, all said games have been removed, other than Lionheart. Some did come back as well.

If you do include November and December of 2008, 14 of the 65 games released were less than 5 years old at the time of release. Not sure if you'd count them as old games.

DRM on installers? You mean the password protected archives which would facilitate the update processes, but people complained because they needed a password to extract them? And that's DRM? Seriously?

Sure, guys, not every whim of the community is fulfilled (nor will it ever be) but we must admit you've done a great job fulfilling wishes from that list.

Congrats.
Nice job! =) Maybe if you want to make that number of granted votes go higher, you guys could fix the forums and website. I'm sure there are lots of wishes covering that stuff. ;)

The most requested games released on gOg being featured in the weekend promo would have been pretty cool.

Just check out the " Weekly Staff Picks " on Monday . ;)

PaveMentman: so in the end everyone pays the same price technically.
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 details are on Table VIII.
