Canuck_Cat: Official stance: Gee-Oh-Gee according to the co-founder.

I use official saying, but if people want to use "gog", then it doesn't matter as long as we all understand what we're talking about.
you are right ...until sometime lately...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOG.com
GOG.com (formerly Good Old Games) ...

and it is an abbreviation no more,
yet on films from...some time ago...it is still there

I don`t know many details, and you are surprised now too ^

I say "gog" because it sounds like grog from Monkey Island.

In the same way some people pronounce .gif as "jiff", i pronounce GOG as "JOJ". I'm kidding, i also say it like frog.

Could ten volunteers from GOG.com say ☺"Welcome on GOG"☺ record it and publish it? ☺

I say it like it is written, gog.

Spelling it out "G-O-G" sounds juvenile, as if I am a small kid saying something like "Gee, oh gee! Thank you mister for this nickel! Enough for cotton candy!"

El oh el! it's not gee oh gee anymore.

I used to say GOG (like the Bible) but now I say G-O-G, since I saw thats how the creators pronounced it.

A better question is do you say U.S.A. or OoSahh? How about M.O.T. or Moat?

I've never understood why people insist on turning initialisms into a pronouncable word, it's G.O.G. Not Gaaaahhg

Logged in just to say that you made me laugh.

Thank you.

This is a outstandingly mindblowing level of trolling.

Old official stance / gee-oh-gee

Avant garde / heretical

M3troid
WinterSnowfall (slightly heretical for being the van Gogh of GOG pronunciations)
HappyPunkPotato
Sachys (slightly heretical because exclamation mark at the end is too non-traditional)
InSaintMonoxide (reference to heresy)

'Tis the mark of a strong society that it questions itself. Repeatedly. About the same thing. Because it forgot the answers it discovered.

Didn't search for it though, maybe should've necroed one.
