You know they're out there. To tell you the truth, I haven't been in these forums long enough to know if there are many, but everywhere else, there are many. Many.
Such types can't stand to be around reasoned discussion for long,
especially with an over abundance of kindness. They usually run away
screaming, or learn how to get along.

So, because some people won't be able to get some movies, NO ONE is allowed to get them?
Tha hell is this, COMMUNISM??? I'll have NO part of THAT, good sir!
Haven't these people ever heard of baby steps? Based on what you say they said - I know, I know... not exactly a legal document - it seems big Hollywood studios are at least trying to take some baby steps towards proper digital movie distribution.
Baby steps, people... all or nothing is a cool dream when you're a teenager, but things just don't work that way. Somebody has to take a risk at first, & if everybody shuts down the idea right away, it'll never happen.
Bring on the movies - I got your back, GOG... *I* will deal with these people.
On a positive note though, I do think there are enough people out there who support DRM-free content on its own accord, other issues aside to support a DRM-free video store online, and we'll probably see one spring up eventually that might be able to reach Hollywood eventually. I'd be happy to support such a store even if the content was only available in my city and say... Easter Island. It'd be one step forward at least. I am just getting increasingly skeptical that we'll see it happen here due to a highly vocal minority. If this was a new store starting up with no existing customerbase, then they could move forward without fear of reprisal, but I don't believe that GOG will move forward on this without the backing of their community for fear of reprisal on their business as a whole, because people who oppose the idea for movies will also then throw one more thing into the basket and refuse to buy games here too unless they get their way with movies.
GOG IMHO is not going to risk compromising that and so in the end DRM-free movies and TV Shows are defeated before it even starts. Louis CK sells his comedy shows DRM-free for like $5 on his website, maybe we can convince him to expand his offerings and branch out. ;o)

Sooner or later, they'll realise you want to play, but not by their rules. How do you think region-free DVDs came about?
Look, if you don't buy, they'll simply come to the conclusion that it's not profitable & stop making them altogether.
HOWEVER, if you get them by other means, you'll show them that there's a market, IF they play ball.
And that's what I'm saying. Let GOG get the big movies. They'll be DRM-free... I'm sure you can think of ways to get the ones that are unavailable to you. Do it enough & voila! They end up being available for EVERYONE.
Magic.
What exactly do you want me to do to make the magic happen?

Well, 40 pages and a few hours later, I'm almost afraid to see what titles slipped by while I couldn't check...
How's everyone doing?
How's everyone doing?

I would SO love to see some of the Steam-only titles come here! It just makes me sad that my Steam-abhorrent friends might never get to play Tomb Raider or Warlock: Master of the Arcane, etc.

The Discworld adaptations for Sky in the UK are some of the better things that they have produced. Worth a watch in my opinion (I've read all the books up to Unseen Academicals) but you shouldn't have very high expectations - Sky only started making original television because the regulator compelled them to and most of what they've produced has been dross. iirc The Hogfather was one of the first with higher production values and an an attempt to make something of high quality, so it was a pleasant surprise when it was first broadcast.
