I brought Worms World Party and Incubation. I can do both without GOG.com to run, but I really wanted to enjoy the benefits not always having to tinker. Both games do not start under Windows 10. What the fuck? What is Gog.com even if their games on the current Windows 10 that for years in the market is not running. I can just as well leave it there.

Maybe if Microsoft stopped breaking everything every time they release a 'patch', people would be able to make software work on their trainwreck of an OS.

By 'GOG.com', do you mean Galaxy? I'm not clear on your post, but re you saying the games will run but not through Galaxy, or do you mean they won't run at all?

*edit* A common problem people have is that a recent Windows update turned of DirectPlay, which causes many older games to not run. You can check to see if this is the case. Instructions here to turn it on: https://windowsreport.com/enable-directplay-windows-10/

Worms world party remastered is a buggy mess and i regret every day of owning it. From what i heard, it is the same on steam. About the other game, no idea.

I never had a single issue with it. Luck, I guess.

Luck indeed :P

Next question

Not long ago, they were "hiring for people", to "keep updating games for newer OSes", or something roughly along those lines. This process logically, will be slow.

I am keeping win7 all the way until 2020, so i have 0 experience, concerning the huge mess that 10 have been, ever since their launch. Especially during then, they reportedly broke compatibility with lots of games (other than gog versions of them, too) and made older games come up with a plethora of newfound issues. Especially DRMed ones.

If you're talking about the Incubation that comes with Battle Isle Platinum, it isn't officially supported on Windows 10. (You can -- and should! -- check this on the right side of each store page before purchasing.) There are quite a number of games that GOG and/or the developer/publisher were unable to get running reliably in Win 10 on their test machines after it came out, thus they don't officially offer support for those on that OS.
As for Worms World Party Remastered, the store page indicates it's supported on Win 10, so I'd file a support ticket asking for help. Actually, I'd contact them about Incubation as well; just don't expect much with that one. :)

Also, game-specific forums are a good place to check for possible solutions.

Blame Microsoft for constantly releasing botched patches for their OS.

I'd definitely double check that DirectPlay is installed (even if you think you ticked it before):-

Control Panel -> Programs & Features -> Turn Windows Features On or Off -> Legacy Components -> DirectPlay

If that fixes it, then as others have said blame Microsoft. They're the ones who keep breaking it on every "Feature Update" every 6 months...

The GOG store pages state outright that Windows 10 updates from Microsoft may cause games to stop working. That's really not GOG's fault. And GOG is honest and upfront about it. I don't see anything GOG is doing wrong in regards to this particular subject.

Are you not aware of GOG's refund policy if Support is unable to help you? Also, Incubation is not officially supported on Win 10. Also also, GOG doesn't officially stand for "Good Old Games" anymore, not since like 2012.
