Allot of you might notice that in the passing months there seams to be an increas of drama surounding GOG on social media. You might be wondering: Wy now? Why all of a suden people are watching and judging GOG's twitter feed.

Well my frieands, it looks like GOG finally reached THAT point in it's development. It is slowly going mainstream!

Up until now GOG was this small nieche market with it's small but faithfull sonsumer base. And like with many nieche titles and product, the media don't give a hoot about them.

But now that GOG is slowly but stedily growing, getting YouTuber support and even exclusive titles, they are poping up more on the "gaming journos" and "thought police" radars.

Nothing can stop the butthurt of people who scan the Internet just to find something to be ofende over. Not unless you know a way to censore the internet.

All the GOG staff can do is grow and adapt. Just like Steam, Origin and Uplay, which had there own fair share of drama that today no one remmebers about it or even cares.

Sorry bud, still not maintstream. A niche group of easily offended trans gamers is hardly the mainstream. And articles about it on polygon don't count as mainstream either, those are niche gamer websites.

I question whether or not becoming mainstream is a good thing. Steam is mainstream and I avoid their storefront. Same with Origins.

I like the size GOG is now. Especially now. They're still pulling in the old er games that I want, they have some decent new releases and curated indy games. Going mainstream will likely mean compromising that balance in some way. It already has in a lot of cases. Is the cost of going mainstream worthwhile? Regional pricing, regional censorship, little bits of DRM sneaking into some products, allowing devs to abandon broken, unpatched products on the storefront. Put like that, going mainstream doesn't sound like progress.
