Thats even more nonsense than in my intentionally nonsensensical post.

I think that you remebmer... t-tchhh... I think that you remember... Grrrrrat, tat tat, tat!

It's an archaic process. You have to click 'reply' to the other person's post, then copy paste that into your intended multi-quote post (which means likely copy/pasting it all into notepad or something, then copying the whole works into one reply post). OR, you can just copy the text of each post you want to reply to (without hitting 'reply') and manually add the quote tags to your multi-quote reply.

Hope that makes sense.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Thanks was hoping I was missing something but seems like its the age old reply method.. If wanting to not spam messages ..

Ah yes. It's Thursday, so the usual Thursday thread is here. This, however, would have my full support. Let the GOG execs reap their Galaxy and DRM money, if they think that is the way, but partition off a store that actually stays DRM-free.

Actually no, that never made GOG popular.

Quite the contrary, in fact: "Good Old Games" was a failed business strategy that was quickly causing GOG to go bankrupt...which is something that they most definitely would have done many years ago already, had they not (wisely) abandoned that terrible & unviable business model.

So the ironic thing about all the people who want GOG only to sell "old games" --- even though there is really no such thing as a stagnant set of "old games," because there are constantly "new" games that are becoming "newly old" --- if they gave you exactly what you want, then GOG would go bankrupt very quickly.

And then you'd have nothing left, no "fake" GOG nor "real" GOG either (meaning "real" according to your standards that GOG must only sell "old games," whatever that means).

Brother, no one mentioned DRM in this thread or needing GOG to make a statement in this thread about wanting more older game releases. There's a proper place for your crusades and this thread isn't one of them. If you're still pining for an answer, go contact the team about it or take it elsewhere like here (single player) or here (boycott).

OP, GOG is still releasing old games at 9.25 games/mo for Jan-Apr 2021 as I've mentioned before and further elaborated by Hunch Bluntley in this thread:

This Noclip documenetary shows it takes a lot of time and effort to hunt down who owns the copyright to the IP of the games they want to release. It is pro-GOG biased, but is informative in showing the obstacles that need to be overcome for an old game to be listed here.

They did make a statement when they changed their freaking name.

Also, they still release old games. Both really old classics (of which there is a finate supply as everyone should realise) and "newer" games that people like the OP don't ever seem to realise are actually now older than many classics were when GOG started out.

Also also, the assumptions about why "everyone" joined GOG are all kinds of annoying.

As much shit as I am more than willing to give GOG for a lot of fuck ups, anyone "pissed off" about old games should slap themselves on the head with a rubber chicken, to save us the trouble.

It's the old squeaky wheel thing. They think if they constantly ask what happened to good old games then GOG will give them more old games. It's kind of the same thing when people demand free remasters. Most of them don't even really care about the games. They just want free things because they're cheap and spoiled.

To be fair on the remaster thing.. Steam kinda made that a expected thing given how often they'd give the remaster versions free if someone already had the regular version before the remaster came out.. Not that I ever had a game in that situation there but twice.. I hear its a regular and common thing from Steam sense early on.. And In recent case on G.O.G I know G.o.g atleast does it at times .. For example BloodRayne 1 and 2 if owning the O.G versions the new versions was added to your library ..Then again for me when all a remaster is just a patched Higher ress .. and with some minor tweaks/quality of life improvements those aren't worth much.. Now if its restoring cut content and making a game how devs wanted yes then its worth a good amount of money.. But thats just me .. Still my piont is when a president is common enough its kinda expected at that point .. thus me mentioning the remaster thing...

Don't worry too much about message spam -- whenever you make a post, any and all additional posts you make in the same topic will automatically be appended to end of the previous one by the forum software until and unless A) somebody else posts in that thread, or B) ten minutes elapse from the time of your first post in that "chain".

Just note that only posts started from the "reply" button (as opposed to the "new post" button) will give a forum reply notification (the dreaded "purple dot") to the person to whom you're replying...and it will always give the user from whose post you clicked "reply" such a notification, even if you delete the quote of their comment before posting. So manually editing in reply quotes will show the little star (or whatever you want to call the little silver "cog"-looking thing) to the user you quoted if they're scrolling through the right page of the right thread, but they won't get notified that there's an unread reply in that thread.

If you're going to go to the trouble of doing counts and calculations like that, you should probably preface your findings with what standard of "old" you're even using, since there's not exactly a widely-agreed-upon definition of what constitutes an "old" video game (or movie, song/album, book, etc.). ;)

What I remember is when GOG's community used to be an actual community that used to have insightful discussions. Not a bunch of bots posting click-bait threads and social media drama.

I feel like for some people old = XX century only. Time flies and with every year games that in your minds might seem new are actually old. For many people game after couple years is already old so it's quite relative. Like when GOG started in 2008 and was "the only true GOG" according to some, big part of catalog were probably games merely 5-10 years old. Today we tend to consider only 20+ antics as old for some reason, while realistically releases like Thief 2014 should be too.
