paladin181: Maybe GOG wants the old timers to go away?
Would make sense. Think about it. The old-timers probably already have bought all the old games they want and they keep giving GOG a hard time, whenever they want to release something with DRM. As soon as GOG gets rid of the oldtimers, they can finally become just another regular store with DRM and everything.
But seriously, that 'Pre-order' banner being on top of the page for weeks sends a very bad message. It tells users: "We don't have anything new, so we try to sell you a game that isn't even released yet."
The actual new releases are displaced by this pre-order banner and receive less attention. I don't think that's a smart decision.
Even though I was excited when I first saw the announcement, since I was waiting for the Thronebreaker release. But then I saw that it is just a pre-order and lost all interest. I'm not going to pre-order anything!
fronzelneekburm: They removed the "fucking" from the thread title, but that Thronebreaker banner is still there... :(
Tarnicus: Profanity is disallowed courtesy of the new forum rules! I believe "shit" is excepted, as GOG uses the word on their Twitter feed :P
"cool shit" The term FCK should be allowed too. Gog infamously used it themselves ... So in future use FCKing instead of the full word.
