Sure, there's a couple of whales out there but I doubt many of the regulars hit anywhere close to that limit, even on the Insomnia sale :)

GOG: Please combine the GOG Wallet feature and the GOG Connect feature. I have about $75 currently held in my Steam Wallet that I'd like to transfer to my GOG Wallet.

Thanks in advance! :)

All along I've been shopping at both GOG.com and Steam (and Steam's authorized resellers) on and off for years without having any idea that we were supposed to shop at only one of them. Now I find out that there's no point to shop here at GOG? One learns new things every day, thanks for the useful info!

From what I read online previously, CDPR's upcoming game of Gwent is going to be free-to-play with optional in-game purchases although it isn't clear what those might be. Presumably aesthetic card decks or something like that. So they'd need to have the infrastructure to handle that for it to work. Having said that, creating the infrastructure to allow this functionality just for a single game doesn't make a lot of sense either, so I think it is reasonable to presume that in-game purchases are coming to GOG by the end of the year as a feature available to developers at large on the platform.

That will no doubt anger some people. Personally I find such developer tactics to be cash grabs for the most part however there are likely responsible ways of using them too in theory at least. It's not my cup of tea though so I'll either be ignoring such games completely, or if the base game is playable and doesn't require any microtransactions to be useful then it might not be a big issue. At the end of the day though, features I don't want or need I just don't buy into and they don't affect me personally so I don't really care that much.

If GOG+CDPR were to make some new amazing MOBA game the likes of DOTA2 or something and it was F2P with microtransactions or something for example, it could be highly profitable to them as a business and drive their platform strongly forward. I actually have DOTA2 on Steam and have played it once and didn't have a clue what I was doing. I pretty much don't care about that game, but it seems very popular ever since it was released and draws people to Steam like flies, so if GOG+CDPR did something along these lines I couldn't and wouldn't fault them for it and it wouldn't affect me in any negative way if I didn't play the game. It would drop YUGE funds in their lap that would no doubt translate into greater allocation of money and manpower into pushing the store and entire platform forward technologically, fixing long outstanding bugs and the like for example.

So basically, I don't look at features and functionality that don't interest me or even that I dislike or hate as being something to go ballistic over per se as the negative aspects can be avoided simply by not buying into or using the games/features that I don't like or agree with or whatever, but there are often indirect side benefits to these things that one might not recognize. I'm sure there are many folks that would totally disagree with me on that front and that is totally ok also, it's just an opinion afterall not a fact. :)

I second the Bitcoin suggestion! I like additional options being available, even if I don't always use them.

Amen!
Now, click on the €90.00 --just joking! :P

What the actual fuck GOG. Seriously in-game purchases. I've seen Judas mention several times just in the last month that Game X wouldn't be available on GOG if it contained in-game purchases and now you pull this shit? I will never knowingly buy a game with in-game purchases. Better have any game with this crap come with a banner like in-dev games.

Sorry to chime in, as it looks like the "argument" is over, but I have the impression that you guys have been discussing 2 different scenarios from the beginning, and therefore some misunderstanding has ensued.

You were talking about login 2FA, and getting notified of people trying to access your account. That's very useful, but it happens way before the scenario that PaterAlf was pointing out.

He was talking about how useless it is to get an email *after* somebody has accessed your account (because for whatever reason you don't use login 2FA) and has changed your email or password. In every other site I know of, you get an email *before* those operations, asking you to confirm them. That's a very standard form of 2FA, and it's really surprising that GOG does it the other way round. Here, if somebody guesses/obtains your password and you're not using login 2FA, you can kiss access to your account goodbye. In other sites, you can still access your account and kick the hacker out of it, because you still control the password and associated email.

My apologies if that was actually clear. I just got the feeling that your conversation ended somewhat abruptly because you were not talking about the same thing.

I see where you are going with this.

Wouldn't be far from reality.. Although for €90.00, one would expect someone to prepare for Crusader Kings II (plus its 1286 DLC) rather than D:OS 2. ;)

I'm glad the discussion ended peacefully.
I'd hate to create a rivalry for something so small.
Adding more options would be great, it is a good way of improving the experience for everyone. Some people aren't willing to use it in its current state, and gOg should take that into consideration.

Not to start a fight here, but could somebody explain to me why this is useful? It seems like it's just an easier way to track any store credit you get for various reasons. It makes sense for Steam since Steam has gift cards you can buy in retail stores. I'd get it if you could gift people funds, but it doesn't seem like you can (and most folks have wishlists anyways). What's the advantage of this over just using a credit card each time or saving your credit card information?

Avoiding a card lockdown over multiple transactions/day by the bank and any currency conversion fees that can accumulate for each transaction.

As for the first one, how/why exactly would that scenario occur? As for the second, wouldn't that happen anyways when you buy the wallet funds, or is it somehow more for multiple smaller transactions than it is for one larger one?

Ohh, this sounds good. A while back I wound up with store credit and found it to be really useful.
