Just wondering if advertisement is part of GOG's plan for 2022 ...

Gog staff are so intelligent people that they pay advertisements to Google, and Google is loving it, because Google collects the cookies from the very same Gog users, and displays them to the people who already use Gog. What a great business. Easy money. The point of the advertisment is to reach the crowd that has never used Gog before, and to present it to those people. Gog staff should learn how to code.

I use ad blockers for all ads so I never see them ever.

Everyone else who is wise will also do likewise.

I wish I would have a business like that. It is on par with those how to get rich books , where the book has only one sentence: Sell how to get rich books.

What's wrong with advertising the store?

Oh no! It's almost like GOG may be a business. The humanity!

We're all bitter cranktchety disillusioned young-old men here so it's obligatory to complain ;)

I do think Wishmaster777 may have a point about the ads reaching people who already use GOG.

This has been the case for years, it's nothing new, same for Twitter,Facebook etc etc

is this a joke post? :D

Good

Something GoG and CDPR are awful at is blowing their own trumpets. If Valve released HL3, you'd be damn sure the 2nd biggest logo on any advertisement would be the Steam crack logo. But for Cyberpunk 2077, the GoG logo was place humbly with the Steam and playstation and xbox and stadia.

GoG needs to be pushing its store front, advertising more and capitalising on IP that's in other media such as the netflix Witcher and Cyberpunk series.

same

looks like the dvoters are not so wise did u open the link?:O but why?

Not that easy though. The algorithm will feed people ads based on observed behaviour, preferences and predictions. Theoretically, you could try to stop customers of a store seeing adverts for that store by using tracker cookies, but that doesn't work if people opt out of tracking, delete cookies etc. Also, you then might miss out on targeting people who buy from Steam and Epic as well - who might benefit from a targeted advert saying "You can get this from GoG".

At the end of the day, advertising works - I don't mind GoG getting on the bandwagon. People may object to using Google, Amazon or Facebook's systems to do it - but opt out of those and you're in with the very niche players who just don't have the reach or the clout.

ive recommended gog a few years ago , not anymore

what do you expect from a company (cd pr/gog) at the verge of bankruptcy. the panic and desperation leads to such idiotic and wasteful moves
