GOG's current status reminds me of situations like restaurants that no one attends any more because the owners did some bad things to alienate & repel their customers.
Sometimes what happens in those cases, is that those restaurants have all of their managers replaced, and then they put up a sign in the window that says "Under New Management," and offer some deals to entice back their former customers who no longer patronize their business any more.
This strategy can actually work to reverse the fortunes of a failing business.
When the management is replaced, usually the public are willing to give the company a second chance, so long as the new managers take it in a different direction and do not repeat the sins of the former managers who had driven them away.
IMO, GOG should utilize this exact same strategy.
That might be the only way to turn things around, and make GOG profitable again, and thus hopefully to ensure that GOG will be around in the long-term future.
I'm not just making this thread solely & exclusively because of the Hitman GOTY debacle (although that's definitely a big one!), but rather, also because GOG has had an endless series of habitual & frequent debacles over the last few years.
Short of GOG replacing the management, I don't think there is any way to restore GOG's reputation back to having the good status that it once held many years ago.
What do you think of these ideas?
