So if you think we lose our times here i'll close the thread .

But i don't really understand and for resume with your quotes that you say : " Devs don't care about us " , " They say many things but nothing happened " , " They have one and only objective , it's sell games at any price " .

I know , i'm a new member and i came here without know what happened before , indeed you have past some years on this platform and maybe you're right about that ... i don't know but why you stay here ?

If it's not good all of the times and it's always false promises made ...

Have you ask yourself why they react like this ? Maybe it's just because they saw your bad reactions about them and they gave up ?

You know , i came here with the hope to help community and devs for make a better platform for players and i know too that , it's not my own platform but after all maybe i asked too much and i don't saw that i've wrong , yeah you're right to think i'm naive because i'm just a gamer like you , i'm not different ... so why things will changes just because i'm here ... you're right , i made a mistake to believe .

You are the elders , technically the Devs will listen you but why there is no answer to your ideas , suggestions or questions ?

I posted yesterday and i had an answer today but why it's not the case for you ?

Finally i don't blame you and i'm sorry if you have lose your times here for nothing but i try to do something ...

ah ah cant do that
you cant close the thread all you can do is abandon it

and we stay here because we like the community we have build up here
its insane and dysfunctional
gog is ignoring our suggestions
and the forum software is asinine and limited it doesnt even have basic functions
but

we stay because of the people


feel free to stick around and not let old fogies like me scare you away
just dont expect any actual change cause there is none

@snowkatt ;

You don't wish a better future for GOG ?
I understand , you stay here for the community for people it's a noble cause .

But i think it's sad to know that things will never change here and you will stay like this for a long time yet ...

You know , i'm not afraid by the elders in fact i respect them because you past a part of your " life " here and you know better like no others the possibilities on this platform , now i'm apologize for can't help the community or the devs , that i wished but if there is no chances to make anything , i understand why you think like this .

course i do
but ive been here for 6 years
and 3 of them on the forum the forum has changed very little
it went from slightly more colorfull to grey
and now we have better security
and a "chat" instead of a pm system

...massive changes i am sure

i'd like to see the forum get an overhaul but it just isnt going to happen why do you think people actually create add ons to give the forum more functionality ?


thats dedication to this community for you

We are the Elders of GOG! Keepers of Nostalgia! Old Men from Scene 24! Look on our works, ye mighty, and despair!

I don't know about that, and yes I get the reference.

But every time I want to feel like shit I go into IRC and hear about how much better the forum used to be. :P

@snowkatt ;

I understand you point of view and between us
how many times you stay here and wait an upgrade , title update or something like this ?

@Breja ;

Be my master ! =P

the community im sure
the software is still shite

Actually they point to it going to shit when I joined. :P

As business owner myself, let me offer a perspective that I sorta brought up earlier:

"Hi, you've been running your business successfully for several years now, with a growing customer base and product line, so I'm here to come along out of the blue and tell you how to do it better. You can thank me later."

If gOg answered every 'suggestion' that comes along, this place would be a complete bundle fornication. And a lot of the suggestions are opposite other suggestions. Which isn't surprising, since we're talking about a worldwide customer base with a wide range of age and customer experience within this hobby of ours, not to mention the wide range of income considerations.

As others mentioned, we see these threads on a fairly regular basis, and the long-timers here either understand why gOg don't do their every bidding or they see it as gOg being unresponsive and that nothing ever changes. And some of them are decidedly curmudgeonly about it as part of their Standard Operating Procedure.

Enthusiasm is good but... don't hold your breath.

You might not know, because you just joined the site, but things on GOG changed a lot during the last few years. But many of us think that every change made the site worse (e.g. GOG gave up a lot of their former core principles) and made it more similar to Steam (which many of us dislike).

Guess this is one of the reasons why many long-term members aren't exactly over-optimistic when someone wants to talk about improving the site.

if you stop tentacling the newcomers things might improve !

How does one 'tentacle' someone? Is tentacle a verb? Is this a legal activity? Sounds suspicious.

best not to ask
brain bleach will be involved
