Syphon72: I doubt they want to be associated with someone who frequently mingles with well-known pirate site and is part of that scene.
Yet they were using glorified cracks on classic games when they first came about. No, I do not think this is being it.
Syphon72: GOG seems to have a good reputation outside of this forum, and it often appears to be the same few individuals who can’t stop complaining about GOG. Those who complain are usually the loudest. Doesn't mean there majority.
You seeming to think a loud minority is less credible, when it's being more likely the majority just doesn't care enough.
Syphon72: What is Zoom doing that is faster? They've been around for 10 years and currently have over 700 games, but none of them are high-quality or newer titles. Now, I see the bigger picture, haha.
Adding customer suggested fixes at to start with. Zoom was also just an example. Point being that smaller stores can and will do more with less staff and resources so stores like gog or steam have no excuse.
Xeshra: Those people who got serious issues with GOG startup, perhaps exceeding 10 additional seconds of startup time... they may tell me their system specs (and the game affected) and perhaps we get even more insight here.
The problem isn't being the system one uses but the files gog sticks in some installers. A number of games will starting instantly when using some workaround like goldberg but take 15-30 seconds just to load up without such.
Xeshra: I was just testing Bioshock Remastered 1+2, and Dishonored. Those rather demanding games are startíng up pretty quick for me... i can not detect any suspicious or unusual startup delay.
The games which are starting slower are the ones putting galaxy dll files in the game directories.
