skeletonbow: I think you make some good points. GOG is growing very fast it seems, possibly faster than they can scale their workforce to some degree. I don't know for certain either way, but I suspect it might be a little difficult to find certain types of talent also. I have no idea what kind of wages they offer, but I suspect that the wages for a given position converted into USD would be much lower than someone getting a similar job at a company in the US directly. That could very well be an incorrect assumption to be making too, but even if it is incorrect a lot of people might make the same assumption and not apply. Aside from the financial side of things though there is the relocate to Poland aspect too, and a lot of people who might otherwise be interested in such a job might not be willing to relocate to Poland (or relocate anywhere for that matter) for a variety of personal reasons. There are some rather uncomfortable geo-political goings on in that part of the world right now that are a little too close to Poland for example which could make some folks have reservations about relocating to that region of the world.

At the same time though, there is clearly a lot of talented people in Poland and nearby countries too obviously, so hopefully they can continue to grow with local talent. I mean, the Polish way of doing things already has brought us awesomeness like The Witcher games, GOG itself, perogies... They have to be doing something right! :)

Perhaps they should start putting in the job offers "free perogies all you can eat, with bacon and onions". If they did that, they very well might scale past Steam in a weekend... just saying! :oP

Chacranajxy: I think it's worth keeping in mind that they did just open an office in Venice, California. They even had a job opening for a head of biz dev there maybe 9 months ago or so. They're definitely building up the resources; I just have no idea where any of it's going.

Cavalary: Worse, there are some [url=http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jan/17/poland-rightwing-government-eu-russia-democracy-under-threat]uncomfortable things going on IN Poland these days, considering the government's moves and expressed intentions.

Cyraxpt: And you won't get any, the blues have been very calm unless it's a technical problem (galaxy doesn't work, game failed to download, somethin something payment, etc).

That is what i've been complaining all this time, their forum policy is complete silence, i mean, why do they bother making contests when they can't even deliver a key for the game? And when someone asks about it there's no answer...

Obvious observation but something going on, from what is being posted here we can see that they're looking for new staff so... layoffs happened?

rampancy: I remember when once upon a time, GOG's extremely laissez-faire approach to community moderation and interaction was actually touted as a good thing, a feature even.

Cyraxpt: BC or AD? Because everytime that it's suggested some type of moderation or more restrictive measures it's like putting a cat on a tub with water...
