Well, not for sure, but it might in the future. I'm assuming GOG Galaxy app, to chat with your GOG friends? It still can be done via website on mobile, but GOG's website was definitely not designed having mobile users in mind.

What other features GOG Galaxy app might have... GOG news as push notifications? Maybe it would come with forums engine redesign? One might dream! :)

Give it another 10-20 years. ;)

I fear this may be just another sign of "let's focus on everything we can think of other than making the main site and forums actually work".

If, if GOG plans to make efforts toward making some mobile app, I think 2FA would be appreciated by many users.

Provided it isn't at the expense of usability in general (little of it there is currently notwithstanding). I'd hate for the advent of mobile to bring everything into a mobile design mindset.

Probably won't be the case, but given that it is GOG we're talking about and how dated the forum is now, who knows what could happen once they have something ready to drop into the wild.

C'mon, DRM-free Android games...

Ah, yes, that's what I've been really missing about this PC games store - a mobile app! Now I will... well I will be able too... right, well, anyway - MOBILE! SOCIAL! APP! BUZZWORDS!

They can’t fix the web site, or the forum, or support gog downloader, or support earlier versions of galaxy, or provide proper change logged downloads pages with all previous versions, and yet they can make a Twatter like to try and attract new customers. Yep, sounds about right.

The forum/site has many issues, and imo they should fix some of it, but on the other hand they need to go where the money is.....heck, I want some fixes to the site and forums as well, but even I can see that if they implemented every single thing people ask for here and ignored the more lucrative markets they'd likely be hemorrhaging money even more than they are now.

BlackMageJ: C'mon, DRM-free Android games...
the mobile market is the stuff of nightmares. besides most of the games that are actually worth playing on mobile are already available somewhere else. i tried to play final fantasy 9 but mobile controls make it impossible... i'd rather just get the pc port which is the better one of those new pc ports they've made.

Not all of em.

The old Doom game for mobile is good....if one can get it running, that is.

Of course I think that some want more for other games to be ported TO mobile, rather than for mobile games to be ported to PC.

some on the forum will be grumpy and crotchety and skin-crawl-y over this, but I'm okay with it. edit: to add more substance, I think it's important for GOG to evolve to stay competitive and bring us DRM-free games. (and I wasn't originally a fan of bringing new games tbh circa '12/'13) imo the "2nd class" lack of patches is a concern or GOG allowing DRM on single-player would absolutely be, but this isn't really

that said I only own an old-school flip-phone so I don't know what GOG can do on the mobile market or how "DRM-free" games on phones work anyway. Could a mobile GOG store help highlight quality mobile games since other apps stores are flooded? I assume you can transfer data from your computer to your phone on memory cards, do phones have USB slots now? Are there mobiles games that could be made DRM-free, and are there emulators that could let you play mobiles games on your computer? I'd be curious to know.
