I don't agree that boycotting equals 'giving up on GOG'. I still have hope that they can change course and start listening to their users again. The intention of the boycott is to send a message and apply some pressure in the hope they will change course. If I thought there was no chance things could improve, then I would probably just leave and move on.
If wolfsite or Gudadantza draw different conclusions, fair enough. But, even if they don't do away with the installers, the heavy pushing of Galaxy and lack of maintenance of the installers are themselves not good trends.
lazydog: There exists significant proof that GOG no longer maintain offline installers to the same degree as the Galaxy equivalents.
Right. I am not saying there is hard proof that GOG plan to do away with the offline installers. But, there is evidence they are not prioritizing their maintenance and that GOG is investing a huge amount of resources in developing and pushing Galaxy. There is such a thing as drawing conclusions from the available evidence, even if it may be circumstantial. If wolfsite or Gudadantza draw different conclusions, fair enough. But, even if they don't do away with the installers, the heavy pushing of Galaxy and lack of maintenance of the installers are themselves not good trends.
