At the end of the day, while I also don't like the whole idea of RP, I'm alright with the solution that GOG has come up with.
I'm fine with the money being Store Credit, because well, there are always games on here that I'd buy and actually buy again, even if I already have them on Steam, because they're sold DRM-free.
GOG are putting their own money where their rhetoric is. Even if they can't change the whole industry because they're not big as Steam, they're making sure that at least in some way, you're not getting ripped off by the greedy publishers.
I support GOG because at the moment, they seem to be the biggest company out there that does support non-DRM, and if I can make their presence a little bit bigger, hopefully, their influence on the publishers will become bigger.

Nope it still has not come up.

Usually i try to gift back something...

You still have a chance. It hasn't done round 3 yet.

Not anymore. I played some of the text adventures back in the day - i.e. Zork. But tbh - Lucasfilm Games spoiled me.

Ask them...
You mean at least 3 years old and at most $9.99? Yeah, that was rather when it all started, but those weren't actually spelled out. What they always said was DRM-free, flat price and customer love, but that last one is hardly specific, so leaves 2.

Pass the happiness along!

I see where this is going, but I did , so I bought it with actual money.
It may be that someone missed it but is already sound asleep right now...

Which means everytime you buy a RP game GOG loses a little money so that a publisher can earn more money. That is far from correct or fair. Yes, GOG did the best they could but that still does not mean that there is even ONE argument for RP.

I agree completely with ^this, it is indeed a matter of principle and some people including GOG lately do not care about that if it doesn't effect them but this trend for digital distribution needs to be discouraged until publishers start realizing that they can't nickle and dime customers based on their geographical location any way they please.

If there is no one left standing to fight for this principal then it will never ever bring about any kind of change to unfair industry standard practices. Unfortunately GOG was the only one that was doing so initially with their one world fair price mantra but now they are just looking to expand and appeal to everyone like any other digital distribution store discarding a stance that made them really special for a lot of their original loyal customers.

I aknowledge it, and that's why i'm still supporting them by using their service. But that doesn't mean i have to support regional pricing as well. I'll just buy the non-regionally priced ones to support companies that have a fair price policy over them.
If anybody agreed to do that, companies would have to drop the regional pricing bullcrap and everything would be sold at fairly priced rates.
I actually don't see what the problem is. We're just expressing our opinion about the subject with the most polite form of protest possible, nor we are saying anything bad about people that buy those games. It's just our right as customers to decide what we want to buy, or isn't it?

They kind of empty your credit after a year. This is delayed if you get some more store credit by purchasing another regional priced game. It's official. 4th question is regarding that topic.

I'm getting old, it wasn't until you mentioned Zork that I figured out why "grue" sounded so familiar.
Especially considering how many times I was killed by one.
