I am brimming with vitriol at gog and cdpr's behaviour and have been outspoken and complaining with every single negative change, especially gogs pushing of galaxy, but we find ourselves in a real catch 22 that needs to be considered carefully.
Anyone with a large game collection stands to lose out if GOG goes under. There's talk of backing up all games offline but realistically, not everyone has a strong enough Internet connection and if the masses of users start doing that then the servers are going to crawl.
With the way the management scum work now I wouldn't put it past them to just cut down server costs or stop paying them altogether without any warning; leaving our games unattainable.
The sad truth is the greedy management will survive, they will still have a wad of money in their banks at the expense of us and their staff. GOG might not and the drm scene will crawl back under it"s rock and just be a rare niche for the odd game.
China is unlikely to change anytime soon, they're just this decades Russia. It wasn't that long ago China had their revolution comparatively speaking and they are still desperately trying to cling onto the idea that it left them better off.
It takes a long time for a large portion to mature past blind patriotism (America has been independent hundreds of years but isn't there yet either and still relies on indoctrination.)
I'm sure there will be some daft comments stating how I'm an apologist or licking China's honey farts or some such nonsense but I suspect most of these are from the coat tail riding attention seekers that seem to crop up at every new scandal or popular 'cause' to show just how superior they are.
