Yep, count me to those that experienced the promo like a game - a social, multi-multi-multi player game. ;-P
[...]we're trying to give every game a chance to shine.
You do indeed.

Thanks foxworks, nice read. ;-)

No new information, I believe, though some nice lines quoted.

Cheers, and though there's no new info, it always feels good to read lines like:
Our industry should be cherishing and treating all gamers with respect, those people who pay our wages, servers, development projects and what not. Instead, we just make it frustrating for them to buy games. How schizophrenic is that? DRM is not protecting any product. It is harming your fans and your brands in the long run.
Let’s make it easy and rewarding for gamers to buy games. They are not criminals and they do not need DRM.

An interesting line from the Eurogamer source: 'We have never lost any partner who decided to give DRM-free digital distribution a try with us, which is something we are proud of.' Not Bohemia?

Also:
As for involving other client providers [with Galaxy], such as uPlay or Origin: we haven't started any discussions yet, but if we could someday sign a great game, available on GOG.com and those platforms as well, and convince Ubisoft and EA to have their gamers play with GOG.com users... This could be really great - we'd love that

We want to make the world of gaming 100 per cent DRM-free, just like the music industry successfully did.
I wonder how true this is for big labels - genuine question as I don't particularly follow that industry.

Amazon sells lots of DRM-Free digital music which includes popular ones, so I would concur that it is true, alright.

Also, I misread the thread's title as GOG in the Medieval Interviews.

Yes, but having read through their ToS, it's only legitimately available to the US, so not sure if Amazon actually qualifies - just a thought.

I sometimes also do, and every time I'm think what an awesome title for this thread that would have been. ;-)

Well, there are also Amazon.co.uk, de, fr, jp and more that I can't remember. It's not completely worldwide, but it's not exclusively American either.

'How two Polish gamers created a global blockbuster'
The last time I was here, Donald gave me a gift, the video game developed here in Poland that's won fans the world over, The Witcher. I confess, I'm not very good at video games, but I've been told that it is a great example of Poland's place in the new global economy. And it's a tribute to the talents and work ethic of the Polish people as well as the wise stewardship of Polish leaders like prime minister Tusk.

Nostalgia is a powerful drug: How GoG.com is growing beyond a back catalog

Interesting news like GOG is going to be opening an office in Los Angeles, and there's a nice look at their IRL game shelf with some gems not yet on GOG.

Cool! That'd be much cheaper than traveling to Poland to hang out with them. ;) (although an East Coast office, too, would be even nicer, maybe to finally convince ZeniMax. ;)

I definitely hope it helps bring new publishers, although we have publishers already here we still need various games from. *Activision*

Yeah, I noticed "Nomad" there from Take 2. I can't make out the other games not on GOG, though.

Actually, all of the games you see in that shelf shot already ARE on GOG unless I missed one :)

edit: except for Nomad, which I just noticed in that picture...
