I have ANOTHER idea. :P
Hopefully this one will be implemented soon, because I have plenty of phone credit just burning a hole in my pocket.
Alright, let me give you some background first. I, do not really 100% like paypal, I know EVERYONE does, but I dont really. Often I dont even have acess to one, and that makes buying GOG's often hard. I have only gotten like 2 that I have bought, ive always thought of alternitive ways to pay in my mind, and how many other games I would buy.. the answer is LOTS.
Other background, up till recently I did not own a mobile, but last christmas I finally bought one. A prepaid optus phone, for which if I buy $30 of credit I get $300 in credit... That was fine for me, but a little too much. I always found I was left over with stuff at the end of the month and found myself wasting the leftover BONUS credit, being still left with my full $30 real credit... other months I would run overboard and end up wasting my REAL credit before the month was over, because I was silly enough to make super long phonecalls or acess the internet.
This was a HUGE waste.
So anyway, one day I found out that one of the games I play online offers virtual credits through something called Mobill Cash, my $30 credit got me about $20 of virtual currency. This meant that I never wasted my credit on accidently acessing the internet, or running overly long phonecalls and I always had something to show for it.
Mobill cash has since been bought out by BOKU, but the premis is the same, use your real credit to buy things without a credit card. GENIUS.

So now monthly I buy things using BOKU instead, my suggestion is to allow this to happen on GOG too!
If I could spend my $30 credit on a couple of GOG per month instead of online currency I would be over the moon. I am sure I am not the only person who would LOVE this option. Basically, all GOG would have to do is sign up with BOKU, work out if they would have to charge anything extra for BOKU purchases or not, (for example, $8 for a $6, $12 for a $10 when paying on phone) and they would have an extra stream of income.
Boku can be used in most coutries, with on the fly currency conversion, is fast, reliable, and I have been using it for months and have not received ANY unwanted text messages. Please please please PLEASE do this, because if I could use my excess PHONE CREDIT to buy your wonderful collections.. I mean, I would literally be spending $360 a year on this, which IS a good thing >_>
Another idea is, if you dont want to do direct purchases through phone, have a credits system, like, ($5.99 or 6500Credits) then just go through boku and be like ($20 phone credit via boku = 17500 credits) aprox numbers, but you get my drift. Extra income for you, extra games for me, its a win win.
other sites that already use BOKU include, VPN (meteor games), Puzzle Pirates, Areia Games(MMOs like DOMO)...
Sorry if this sounded like a pitch for BOKU, but I just really REALLY want this feature to be added.
wow.. that was... long.... O_o
