If you’ve been hanging around for a while, especially in the <a href=”"[url=http://www.gog.com/games">games]http://www.gog.com/games">games[/url] tab</a>, you may have noticed that the growing number of items on our virtual shelf was inching closer and closer to our very first thousand - lo and behold, just this week we made it through our first 1k.

We could start off by thanking the Academy, our moms, and hoping for world peace - and it's not that we don't want to say all those things, but before we do, we want to thank the most important people that made it possible - all of YOU. It may sound a bit turgid and you might not believe that we're tearing up a little as we click "publish" on this piece of news, but you guys are the ones that make GOG.com what it is and our reason to continue bringing you more great games.

Before we break out the fruit punch, though, we want to honor those of you who almost caught up with us. We dug through our records and picked fifty users that have the most boxes on their own virtual shelves.







Let's all give an alphabetically ordered round of applause to:

Antarian, astrugar710, atomsword, AutumnYears, baketomato, Barry_Woodward, benjam47, budejovice, CuriousTwoAtGOG, Darthmort, Disciple_of_Doom, djr155, DonCorleon, Gersen, gorrrrrr, Heirgeir, howardtduck2005, ilcollezionista, jabba1971, JDelekto, KajQrd, kiwy, Kodijack, kotokimura, Lafazar, liquidBass, lobo_1, Loenas, maweball, mrkgnao, MTR77, Murfallo, mwmwm, n0nam3, OlK76, onthemike, palyea, Pantoprazol, sbaylus, Serpico, ShadowWulfe, Silvanus2004, soulroar, tippete, TrevWar, turbond, vasyl, VuA, xckx, and ZombieGum.








We will be contacting these guys personally for T-shirt sizes and mailing addresses for a little, personalized thank-you. We are off to celebrate - but before we go, here's to another thousand digital boxes on the GOG.com shelf!

Hecke: Zenimax? Really? Guess they will never publish games here since they are pretty much into DRM. And to be honest: I desist from supporting this company in any way...
avatar
zeroxxx: If they can sell the games DRM-free, which is the core principle of GOG, then why not? More new games here = bigger library = better.
AFAIR Zenimax (the owner of Bethesda and id) caused the removal of the Fallout Series from gog.
So I don't see any chances to get those games. And I really don't want to support Zenimax with a single cent :)

gamefood: Congrats to gog.com for the 1000th! :)

But which one was it? Afterlife? Dead Synchronicity? Albedo?
For German users, it was Albedo. For Australian users, it was the soundtrack of Dead Synchronicity and for all the rest, it was the expansion pass of Witcher 3.

So nice!

Some folks got 1000 games on GOG? That would take like 15+ years to properly enjoy, am I right? I got kinda 1/3 of that and I feel desperate sometimes :P
Go play, dudes! That's why we're here for. Right?! :)

Barry_Woodward: Thank you kindly, GOG. I have every game on here except for the four that were pulled before I joined. Vote for them to return:

Colin McRae Rally 2005
ObsCure
Republic: The Revolution
TOCA Race Driver 3
I wish for and [url=http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/cryostasis]Cryostasis.

Got the latter before removal and I'm glad, but I wish others (outside the US, since Aspyr published the game there -on retail- also drm-free) could enjoy this wonderful game. :)

Congratulations for this great achievement, dear GOG, and keep up the good work! There are so many classic games still awaiting a re-release!

Same goes for XIII!
Two great fps games that I (and tons of others) truly love :)

CarrionCrow: Regardless, every customer has played a part in GOG's success. Seems a bit uneven to put those with the most purchases on a pedestal while disregarding the rest.
avatar
ET3D: Why? It's cool that GOG has seen fit to reward its best customers, those who have bought pretty much everything that the store has to offer. Yes, every customer has been a part of GOG's success, but these people went all the way. They didn't just buy the selection of games they wanted, they bought everything.

No customer deserves to get anything from GOG, except what GOG already gives, the store with all its benefit, from DRM-free to returns to old games. And yet GOG has given us a lot of extra stuff over the years, including free games. But when customers start demanding that, that's the time when GOG should step back and say: "okay, we've started a crowd of freeloaders, maybe we should stop that."
This. So much this.

No, for German users it was Afterlife (which is a worthy number 1000 in my eyes).

We are just two games behind the rest of the world (Commandos and Commandos 2&3). For the Australians four entries are blocked (all of them Hotline Miami 2).

I know that Afterlife was released before Albedo, but Albedo had a storepage before Afterlife and thus made the counter go 1000. :P

Does the T-shirt say "I bought a thousand GOG games and all I got was this T-shirt"?

Just kidding. Congratulations to the winners :)

You are right. I forgot that Albedo showed up in the upcoming section one or two days before it was released. Not as good as Afterlife, but compared to Witcher 3 Expansion Pass and Dead Synchronicity Soundtrack, I would still say that we got the best 1000th entry. :)

Missed cryostasis unfortunately. I am glad I day-1 bought Re-Volt on GOG, that was a childhood favourite and it got pulled almost as soon as it went up.

Did exactly the same with Re-Volt. Zero regrets: what a great mario kart/arcade racer it is.
Wonder what happened to its rights or whatever...
