It was always pretty obvious that CD Projekt in general prefers to avoid controversy and taking sides. It would be a good thing too - I believe that companies shouldn't take moral positions on issues - but in this case, the remark about an abusive movement kind of makes it seem like they did take a side this time.

It's disappointing, for lack of a better word.

Trying to appease outrage addicts who are already boycotting you over the Witcher series or don't even play videogames is the best idea ever.

As a vile SJW communist, I resent the implication that I am not a GOG customer.

Claim like that can only be proven through sales data. I generally believe the same as you but I saw no conclusive proof.

The games those people champion almost always have terrible sales. Often to the point the devs dissolve. Meanwhile games that go out of their to agitate them (like Kingdom Come) sell millions despite being completely broken at launch.

I think, some insiders explained it in past.
There is some agreement in between gag and publishers, where they talk about profits and payments. For some reason, the same game counts as different entry for each OS. So - it may be not that profitable to sell them all.

Again - I dunno if its true, nor if it depends on greed of each publisher. Only some info regarding the situation, I've used to read on gag forums some time ago.

Also sometimes its not the only issue. For example, some games (srow series) feature linux ports, made by third party companies. So - to sell them there, gag will need to make an agreement not only with original publishers/developers, but also with these companies. Which may be difficult/non-profitable (remember that gag is a business company).

Not to mention that linux port may be broken/glitchy (mount and blade: warband) or outdated (tower of guns)

Bunch of cowards. A joke is a joke. Don't like it, don't read it. Certainly don't apologise to those spineless twits. Spineless left wingers ruining everything as per usual.

Seemingly nothing to do with greed at all...
A representative of Running With Scissors in this very thread talked about them having difficulties with it...Post 97

"As for the Linux and Mac builds of P2 and PL on GOG - we've run into a series of problems with trying to make the DRM-free builds run well, and it's been puzzling us to no end. The plan was to have them ready for this same release, but because of these issues we had to push them aside because they just weren't in a presentable state. Unfortunately I can't give an ETA on when they might be ready, so I've got no good news to give on the matter. :( "

I found the tweet funny. I supported Gamergate and I could understand why they would remove it. Controversy bring a level of infamy that a business like GoG doesn't want. Then they went and posted this. Apologizing is one thing but essentially saying that those of us who supported Gamergate were part of a hate and abuse movement - that was a little much. Jumped right out of the frying pan and right into the fire with that.

Gamergate was a hate and abuse movement, you just missed the memo. Most likely you're one of the true believers who took the "ethics in games journalism" thing at face value. I recommend this video series:

I think both sides of this debate are often annoying, but in this case it's better not to rub it in people's faces, especially when you're a store rather than a piece of art commenting on things. Removing the tweet was the right move.

Leaving aside all the other ways in which I disagree with you, how is "Don't like it, don't read it" even possible?
I'm frankly surprised you managed to finish the post without somehow turning the subject to immigration.

Dear lord this. The whole GG thing has been long tainted by hate and abuse. If you're not into those things, then don't associate with GG.

I'm not a power user or anything but I've bought stuff here over the years. Not anymore. I will not financially support any institution that caves to the mob, it makes life worse for all of us when you embolden these people. It gives them more power to ruin people's lives, attack them, and even engage in revisionism. Speak of the devil...

No matter how many times you say this it won't be true. Constantly lying and accusing others of being "hateful and abusive" is in itself hateful, but we both know the reason you do that is to try to take that card off the table. Projection is not a good look.

For anyone not in the know about all this I'd recommend googling "gamers are dead" some time. You can see where the real hate and abuse is coming from.
