JinKazaragi: They need AAA releases to draw more customers to GOG, the lack of big games is one of the main reasons many people still avoid GOG, some don't even know GOG exists. Indie games can be nice but it's not enough to let a store grow beyond a certain point.
Well, they could at least tell us which AAA game it is, so potential buyers don't go over to Steam and buy/pre-order it before discovering it's on GOG.

He can't, it's all he's good at in this life.
Plans about "new game format" sound like MMORPG aspirations to me.

You mean they'll go bust by doing it? Not sure how viable for them it would be, but it also depends on how expensive for them it would be. However if anyone can make a good on-line RPG, it's probably them. They value roleplaying experience, so they can come up with something original enough and not driven by mindless money grab of mass market hack-n-slash types of on-line games.

No. I was inferring a game that does just permanently kill your character, but via a USB powered Electric Chair will also kill the Player.

Ah, that type of new format :) That would be illegal I presume. But some kind of new virtual reality ideas will surely be forthcoming.

JinKazaragi: I don't like the sound of some comments or statements about Galaxy, in my opinion it should stay completely optional (excepting MP in some cases) I don't want to start again to crack every game I buy just to be able to play it without a client (I dont like forced clients no matter if they're offline or not).
How many doom and gloom comments are we up to now? GOG has banked it's entire reputation on Galaxy being optional, these "OMG there going to make Galaxy mandatory" comments are beyond silly at this point. I swear people just post them to get the fear mongering going. Galaxy is only needed for MP and it makes perfect sense why that is the case that has nothing to do with DRM.

budejovice: I looked into it a year ago. It is difficult for someone from the US to buy on smaller exchanges. You need a full service brokerage (which I don't have or want - I like my cheap trades). Which means you need a lot of money.
Indeed. I think was able to access Warsaw through a Swedish exchange but it required some extra document filling that I didn't really have energy to find out about (I don't have that money that's it worth to begin with). Anyway, problem is the rise of the CRPR's stock is already happening, one should have purchased prior to Witcher 2 release.

That doesn't sound good at all. I hope that they mean a new AAA game.

"Release of a AAA game developed by an unaffiliated entity with full support for GOG Galaxy, concurrent with its
global release date. "

I'm pretty sure that means it's a new game.

Usually I agree about the comments, but this is worrying me:
"Expansion of GOG Galaxy with new features and networking technologies required by new CD PROJEKT RED
products. "

I might interpret too much into it but I still dont like the sound of it.

Required by CD PROJEKT RED products... that I'm betting just means that any future game that CDPR makes will require Galaxy features to be implemented in the game like achievements and such, which makes perfect sense being as they are owned by the same entity. You would wouldn't want your flagship properties to not use it if your trying to get people to use it.

Most people who preorder AAA games don't care about GOG anyway, yet.

And the game will be released the concurrent to the global release which means there wont be a delay like it is with many other games that way the potential cutomers will have the choice between GOG and Steam from the beginning which is already enough to draw people here who only use steam out of necessity or the ones who prefer the DRM/restriction-free if they have the choice but never cared enoigh about older or inide games and thus didn't use GOG until then.

Lets just hope gog.com doesn't go crazy one day and be like whatever lets let Digital Rights Management (DRM) slip into the video games and not bother having the video game developers make sure that they remove them.

Sorry, but gog.com as of the last 4 months or so has started to make me feel disappointed.

The way this was worded is making me worried.
