Well... Good luck with your ton of work to do, DD...
(and not surprised, you're always in a good mood, no matter what... :-))

Of course they do... It seems like GOG will look and work like STEAM... :-| ... sheesh.
Yes... I agree... :-(
I hope everything will be improved soon... (where is the suggestion box, again ?...)
I'm fine, thanks !! :) for a Monday...
Hello there, LordCommander ;
welcome in the CFFA thread !! :)

I agree about waiting for things to settle down, I just wish the changes did not take so much away and make everything so inconvenient for those who don't use Galaxy.

Thank you. Hopefully this week will be a little easier, as slowly we are getting things in place. But probably not, things always seem to crop up that give us more work. :-)

But GOG clearly wants rid of the Good Old Gamers, and instead wants to be more like Steam. From a money point of view it makes sense, but will it be sustainable when this place becomes just like Steam? Surly when people have a choice between two Steams, they will go with the real one that has cheaper games and a wider selection. Yes GOG has DRM free, but how long before they give up on that principle, or until customers no longer want to put up with GOG and are willing to accept the DRM on Steam?

I know, there is no real indication of anything. Hopefully this is just early bugs that will be sorted as the system is fully implemented. But I can see them keeping it that way to "persuade" users to use Galaxy. As someone said, it seems silly to invest all this time and money in an "optional" client.

Sadly I think your line break broke the chat, as I can't see your message due to the chat text box (see attached image).

That's good to hear :)
Yeah me too. I was looking forward to Galaxy and the related changes but not anymore....i don't want to have a steam copy here...

ok... shit... I'll sent you a normal message to see if that will fix it.

Missed that earler...Good morning
How are you doing today?

I am not always in a good mood, but it does take something big to take the smile off my face. After my little incident a few years ago I learnt to just enjoy life and look on the bright side, rather than letting many of the little things or things we can't change get me down. Plus I have someone incredible at home that always puts a huge happy smile on my face, no matter how hard things might be.

Kind of. That has pushed the previous message up, but it has cut off the bottom of the text a little, and the new message is completely covered by the chat text box again. Hopefully it is just a bug (or maybe it would display correctly in Galaxy?). I miss the PM system already. :-)

I agree. But i think for the most people DRM is not problem which means they'll using steam instead of GOG. Of course is the DRM-FREE a unique selling point for GOG but only matters for a minority of gamers i think (which is sad...).
Yeah it's obvious that they want to get everyone to use galaxy.

"Great!" ... Perhaps you should post that in the new account system thread? I am not sure they even know that it is bugged.

Nobody wants that... :-(
Why would have we chosen GOG, otherwise ?...

Yeah but i fear we are getting there...including the community side effects......:(

Bottom line, every online community has to deal with assholes, whether sooner or later. The decent people are outnumbered a hundred to one, and that's an optimistic estimate there.
Eventually, there will be enough of them that GOG will end up with full-on moderators to police it, like so many other places online have to do.

It seems to be a bug for the browser I was using, which admittedly is a quite outdated version of Firefox. So possibly it's just my fault, as it works on other browsers.

That's my point. When GOG does just turn into something similar to Steam, will they just lose their customer base, as the older customers will probably leave (as some already have, or spoken about), and as the newer ones going back to Steam once this place is full of the kind of people that make Steam so horrible. Steam has better prices, often better sales, and more choice in games, so it would seem the logical choice between to go to Steam over GOG in that situation. I guess as long as GOG games work and they offer good support and zero DRM, maybe that will be enough.

I have the newest version.. ah wait I think the second newest and here it works fine.
