Dude he is awesome!

He rocks in GOTG and he kicked it in Jurassic World.

I hate GOTG, Jurassic World was bland, boring and painfully cliched and Pratt was terrible in both :P He's always like the worst bro-douche moron one can imagine. I'm not a violent man, but whenever I see him I immediately want to punch him in the face.

You make an interesting point.

I believe part of the reduction of GoG's profits is due to investment in infrastructure, namely back end servers for Gwent.

It would be nice to see GoG making more profit, it just unfortunately due to publishers not releasing more of their stuff here.

Isn't that on CDP? Why would GOG be doing that?

They cannot do that in a financial statement. Cyberpunk and Gwent are clearly game development projects. The costs associated would have to be part of the development arm. Galaxy development, on the other hand, could very well explain the drop as that is a service expressly connected with global distribution of video games.

It's not a bad drop, and nothing I worry too much about, but I was just pointing out that GoG isn't completely swimming in cash and thus cannot make ridiculous offers for games. I guess I worry a little since they lost money during the 4th quarter when that has been their best quarter most years. But a profit is a profit.

Witcher 3 definitely helped GoG as I'm sure 30% of sales on the site went to GoG profits (while GoG division would be returning the other 70% to the right's holders - the game development arm).

It's still a good sign that GoG is maintaining a profit while other distributors have folded.

Edit: Looking through the financial statement, the thing that sticks out is an increase in "Selling Costs" this year to last. Wasn't there some big VAT change that took affect recently where VAT needed to be paid based on country of sale instead of country of origin? Or something like that. Maybe that is the difference.

I looked at the Gwent thing from the 3rd quarter statement and the affect on GoG was the addition of networking and matchmaking to the Galaxy client. Maybe Galaxy itself is considered a "Selling Cost" and it's Galaxy development affecting the bottom line at this time.

Because the multiplayer service would be via GoG. I'll try to look through the last financial report, I'm sure it mentioned "multiplayer infrastructure (Gwent)" as a large one off cost.

I could be wrong.

What!? ;)

You want me I should kill him, Boss?

"Hate" is such a strong word. I don't think I could use that on any movie. There are many I don't care for, but hate? Nah. Not worth it. It's not like they punched me and stole my lunch money.

It is a strong word indeed. There are very, very few I use that word for. Guardians of the Galaxy happens to be one of them :D It's like Point Break in space, only not nearly as well shot and far more obnoxious.

Is it Ortho in "Divine Divinity" who has the pig that the game encourages you to kill? :P

That took balls on behalf of the dev team on that one. XD

Just for that, I'm going to ask tinyE to strap you into a chair & force you into watching the sequel.....twice. With no intermission nor popcorn. And paying at full cinema prices.

;)
