karnak1: Basically just plain pettiness. I don't like when a company (related to gaming or otherwise) just plain ignores its potential customers or doesn't reply to serious questions of any kind. I was annoyed by their attitude. The GOG issue is that this store has a "special place in my heart" somewhat.
Sounds fair.
Me? I just buy from anyone that doesn't do anything truly bad(like give money to drug dealers/etc level bad), as mostly I see companies just a place to get a product/service and less as friends.
(And while I love GOG more than most, that stance includes GOG as well...especially as they have seemingly dropped various pillars of their founding principles to get more partners on-board and to sell more games, and as they put more rules in place on the forums that match the default PC forum/lazy modding template[i.e. the blanket rules and "hate speech" rules]. I still like them, but it's obvious they want to make money just like any other company)
karnak1: When 95% of retail PC gaming started to always carry the "steamworks" logo I stopped buying games altogether and only played pirated games. It was GOG store which made me stop my pirating days and make me buy games again. I've since bought here on GOG all the available games which I had once pirated.
Barring the steam thing, I also did almost the same....stopped pirating for the most part of any game sold by GOG/etc.....yes, sometimes I "cheat" and still go that route, but NEVER with GOG's game copies.
karnak1: To tell the truth, my backlog is so big that I suspect I have enough games to last the remainder of my life (be it short or long). So I only really buy games in order to support GOG.
I also wonder if i'll ever make a dent....some games have multiple ways to play them now(RPGs, for one), and some are hard to finish certain parts....although I HAVE finished a few older games form my past recently, which was nice to finally do. :)
