Every week I'm adding games to my Steam wishlist. I haven't added any to my GOG wishlist in quite a while.

We haven't really exited the great summer game drought yet. Perhaps it should be a reason to rejoice, as you can reduce your backlog and increase your savings? :P

Maybe so, it just feels sad that not so long ago I was buying most of my games here, now I buy most on Steam. There's so many good indie games that never come here.

When you buy them on Steam, you help ensure they never will.

I also have the same problem in that GOG doesn't release games I'm interested in any more.

They do once in a blue moon, but 95% of the time, they don't.

As I've said many times on this board: GOG's inability to get new games, that are not low to mid tier indie games, and release such new premium tier games on a consistent & regular basis, that is GOG's #1 problem, and they should make all possible efforts to fix it as their main priority.

One does wonder what your taste must be then.

I have over 1600 games in my Library and 823 on my Wishlist, and it always seems to me that my Wishlist continues to outgrow what I purchase at GOG.

There hasn't been much of interest to me in the last three weeks or so, but what does come to GOG that might, has in my experience always come here in waves.

That said, much of what is on my Wishlist, is only there because I have some level of interest in it, but not enough to purchase unless dirt cheap in many cases. Of the rest, the only reason I don't yet have it, is either price or not the version i really want.

Many games here haven't yet made it to my wishlist. These would be the higher quality more expensive games, which I don't even look at until their price gets more realistic. By not looking at them, I reduce the urges to purchase ... you don't want what you don't really know about ... not specifically anyway.

So really, I have plenty to potentially add to my Wishlist or even buy, just price is the hold up.

I see many of the same games at the same discount price sale after sale, and that never helps. Often I just see that discount price as their real price, and are actually waiting for a true discount.

To be perfectly honest, the more games I have on my wishlist or keep adding to my wishlist, is a reflection in many cases of bad pricing, and market forces not working properly ... profit is profit after all, especially with digital goods which don't incur the expenses of physical goods.

Oftentimes I think the issue is about stubborn pricing, getting what the provider thinks each copy of their game is worth, and not actually about maximizing profit. Heaven forbid us gamers should get a copy of a game below that stubborn price ... and yet at other times they give them away.

There are different groups of gamers out their that have differing levels of money they are prepared to spend. And I often find it ironic, that the real fans pay the Lion's share, and the majority pay far less. Fair pricing has always been a big issue for me, and I see it as a kind of abuse what fans are expected to pay sometimes ... some can easily afford it, but many can't really or just barely, perhaps foregoing other things they shouldn't, as they give into their urge weakness. When it comes to buying games, clearly many have more money than sense, and in reality are responsible for the high prices being asked on release etc for many games.

Personally I'm kind of glad for that because my backlog is big enough. But even though my wishlist became mostly static it still doesn't help much due to either giveaways and freebies or impulse purchases of things I didn't consider earlier.

To be honest, every day several hundreds or even thousand games are released on steam...

I have to say, thank GoG it isn't that way...

I tried everything... To ignore sales, to clear my wishlist a number of times, to leave, to stop playing untied games, to play somewhere else, my pile of shame "unplayed games" is growing here only, I can't play and collect games anywhere else. If devs or publishers are not going to publish the game here or DRM-free elsewhere I am not going to play it. The forum is unique too.

GOG won't stop releasing games I'm interested in. My wishlist has grown much faster than I'm able to buy games.

Wishlist: 1197 And it keeps growing.

Tower of shame: 176 And I keep making it higher.

I´m doing "fine" with buying only on gog.

I can just as easily say that by making excuses for GOG you're enabling them to continue sucking.

Why would I wait months or years till they get here? If they don't release on GOG day 1, they may as well not at all.

I assume you're talking about games other than AAA ones? Can you give some examples of games GOG could realistically get here that they haven't?

Perhaps we can blame curation to an extent, I'm open to that, but at the same time GOG doesn't have a lot to attract devs and pubs. Oh okay, you are talking about indies. Fair enough.
