Hexchild: If they actually end up shutting down because of this boycott (and I highly doubt that will happen) then it's because of GOG, since they made promises they couldn't keep.
StrongSoldier: No, those who have participated in this will be responsible for the fact that the only store no drm has not disappeared drm. Luckily, as we can read on social networks, they are the small group of users that always cause problems.
"Argh, those peaceful protesters that caught us red handed must be made responsible for OUR very mistakes that made those people protest in the first place"
StrongSoldier: In the end, because of you we will run out of a store not drm like gog.
StrongSoldier: Hopefully they keep their word and don't buy from gog again, it's the best thing that can happen to all of us.
So, let me get this clear, you are heavily implying it's OUR FAULT, and suggesting GOG will fall BECAUSE of US not buying, meanwhile you are saying it's the best thing that could happen to "you" that "we" are not buying.
Interesting.
StrongSoldier: In the end, because of you we will run out of a store not drm like gog.
Since you literally quoted only me I am kind of willing to ask:
do you mean ME PERSONALLY or did you fail to generalize in your attempt at blaming all people boycotting?
B1tF1ghter: What I said is, (unlike GOG) Valve has not lied to me (as their customer) ABOUT THEIR
CORE PRINCIPLES.
amok: That;s becuase they never had any.
"Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others." - Groucho Marx
They do actually have principles. No matter how much you hate and despise Valve they still have SOME principles.
But unlike GOG they never said that their store is DRM-free only to later spit in customers' faces.
Enebias: let alone sway their full steam course
GOG is NOWHERE NEAR the quality of Steam. Right now, with all the questionable actions, GOG is leaning far more into the Epic territory of behaviours and "consumer relations".
Enebias: It's far more likely they commit involuntary suicide by releasing another quality game like Cyberpunk.
On the subject of CP2077 and comparisons to Valve:
NO Vavle's game ever released was THIS BROKEN like CP2077...
And I'm not defending Valve here or anything (since "some people" will likely start crucifying me for bringing up Valve, again).
It's a statement of a FACT.
GreasyDogMeat: If this post is a meme / joke / troll, well played TENCENT INVESTOR.
TencentInvestor: I sincerely feel this way. Maybe some honest souls still bloom here like the pure Lotus flower blooms from muddy waters. But I haven't seen many people who defend common sense and human decency while most of you attack others for stating facts and speaking up against unfair treatment. CDP has done you more harm than China ever has and likely ever will. Leave China alone. The CDPR management is the real dystopian dictatorship here.
Well, dear "german citizen", since you have no authority over personal metadata of people in here I suggest you stop your random unproven statements before you COMPLETELY compromise your reputation here.
joppo: CCP's economic strategy is producing their goods extremely cheap
If one would to nitpick it could easily be said that without a doubt the fact that those "many chinese made products" are often of TOO low quality, SPECIFICLY because of it, MANY people were harmed, possibly many died exclusively due to that.
joppo: Hyperbole aside I agree that some people here appear to display an incredible... need... to defend anti-consumer practices just because they were perpetrated by their beloved "heroes". Apparently nothing they do is enough to take them off that pedestal.
It's called blind loyalty. There is also some examples of blind patriotism in this thread.
Either way: not seeing what's wrong BY CHOICE.
QueenAdrian: I want off the list. Far too often, the Devotion situation is used as an excuse for racism, and I do not want to be associated with it any further.
"There are some paid actors stirring a trouble in this peaceful protest assembly therefore I, devoted to the protest, will see myself out as I don't want to be associated with that insiders minority".
Seriously. No comment.
GamezRanker: (sidenote: a good number these days, generally speaking, seem to worry a bit too much about how they're perceived by a bunch of randos on social media that they hardly know)
re-note:
A good number doesn't understand the difference between unproven accusations ("he is in that peaceful protest where a minor amount of troublemakers showed up so he must be one of those") versus facts and reality ("he is in said protest where a bunch or racists showed up but he is a separate individual and therefore should be judged by HIS actions and not others'").
GamezRanker: Sidenote: "Oddly enough", GOG just approved the release of a game called Orwell's Animal Farm.
Basically GOG is a bunch of unfaithful grey zone merchants who cannot resist breaking ANY of their vows if they see money.
They cannot even craft lie believable enough to give even an ILLUSION of caring.
TencentInvestor: I understand that you have an emotional need to rationalize the amount of time and money you have spent here but that doesn't change the facts.
Such as the fact that you don't actually know who out of people present in this thread who have spent their money on this platform bought things based on emotions and who justified it properly in the first place.
TencentInvestor: Just like China is prospering while Europe and the USA are declining.
Just like you are generalizing. Left right and center. You give away strong vibe of liking to do so.
TencentInvestor: I will trust the evidence my eyes and ears provide, not your petty attempts at hypernormalization.
Oh, so you now have access to exact INTERNAL (ergo non-public, confidential) financial data of EACH country from specified zones? What are you? Mobius?
kdgog: [Part 1/3, split up because it was too long for one post, but there was no error message about length.]
There is never an error message when you exceed the hidden limit. Just like there is no error message when your syntax is wrong (say, for example, unclosed quote).
The GOG forum software is from dark ages.
I was GOG supporter too. But I go after ideals, not platforms or individuals claiming to use the ideals.
Therefore I have no problem calling out GOG's bullshit.
kdgog: they threatened to close my account if I “broke community guidelines” again (presumably removing access to all the games I’ve bought, without any form of refund or compensation).
If you are indeed in EU such action is literally illegal (removing your access to already purchased content).
IAmBored2: and if you bought HL2 in a store then all you got was a steam key. Hilariously, steam didn't do anything to stop piracy either,
Hilariously many (all?) VAVLE's own games can be made DRM-free with simple cvar.
RoboPond: I've said it before and I'll say it again GOG is not about the Gamers its about the "gamers".
Well it's quite clear the case is about "gamers" pretending to be Gamers.
But actually, what prevents us, Gamers, from pretending to be "gamers"?
If GOG doesn't care to check who is messaging them then they would only prove their hypocrisy if they would start selectively checking it now of all times.
StrongSoldier: Gog is finished. Those who control cd project are going to bankrupt the company.
Oh, so it's not us, boycotting, bringingdown GOG anymore?
StrongSoldier: In the end, because of you we will run out of a store not drm like gog.
