Well, I expect them to last at least till the summer sale, probably more. Though you can never tell. With gog it is easy to get curious about many releases.

I don't know how things use to be enough to judge how the new is. But I can say it is frustrating one has to go into each individual game listings to see its rating numbers. Compare to seem that shows you the rating numbers from the menu/list and even allows you to do searches that sort by reviews

I'm not sure it is possible to resell. I gladly would the ones I'm done with.

I do have some pent up demand, games I was long interested in. So this is partly to blame.

Sadly, this means it's working as intended, making impulse buyers buy even more and more than making up for losses from more discriminating (and... rational) users :/

Oh, it's an interesting way of buying but makes sense. Could produce a backlog "problem". :)

80 games lasting till summer? Damn. In my case they'd probably last me till the summer of 2035 or so...

I guess both of us are being quite off. More than half a year to be realistic, but neither 15 years for sure, eh. And do try to break loose, at least once. Have at it, man! We won't judge.

Not really off in my case. May even be optimistic.
Looking at my posts in the games finished threads... Finished 3 so far this year (+2 quick mobile ones, meh), should be about to finish another one now. Last year it was 2 in full and the base game of a 3rd (technically the expansion this year, so counted it for this year) (not counting a few quick browser games made during the massive protests that were here then - went through a couple more like that this year too). 5 in 2016, 6 if you count the base game and expansion of one separately. 3 in 2015, 4 in case of the same base / additional content separate count, 5 if you add a few quick games of another that doesn't have something to "finish". 5 in 2014, 6 if you count quite a bunch of "games" in a browser thingy, 6 if you also count a very short thing that isn't really a game. 1, 2 if you count its parts separately, in 2013, 3 if you also count a quick browser thingy. 5 in 2012. 3, 4 with that same base / expansion separate count, in 2011...

In terms of number of finished games I guess it is about the same with me.

But I think the first reason I buy games is to get familiar with them firsthand, provided the initial impression got me interested. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any metric that would tell me beforehand if I'd actually like a game or not. All reviews are different; summary scores are different from different sources; popularity, developer or publisher name, completion rates, even demos - nothing. And even if in some miraculous case most of those align, my own experience can easily differ.

So I expect to actually enjoy only a part of I bought, and finish a much smaller part still of course. But I came to realize I have to find out which is which by myself, not by some proxy.

Same for me, which is why I rather spend money someplace I want to support even if the actual game didn't fit me as much as I thought it would.
In former days, I never regretted spending money here, even if I didn't like the game or it was in a cheap bundle a week later since supporting the business practices as well as the people behind something matters just as much to me.

Just now saw that links to game forums are finally on the game cards. :)

I noticed this morning that they had slightly overhauled the game pages in the last day or two (they seem to be a bit more compact now), but I had missed that little detail. Finally!

Ridiculous. Apologies bla bla bla... Where is the information? Genre, rating, price etc.?

Those are the kind of changes the site needs! :) I wish there are more down the road!!

Wow, this was one of my biggest wishes, didn't think it would happen so fast. Thanks GOG!
