any idea why epic store has no better features?

First of all, people having principles is a good thing. It doesn't make them "neck beards". I personally know people in Asia, am engaged to a woman from Asia and grew up with a love for Hong Kong culture. You may not care, because you're a piece of shit that doesn't care about human rights, but know thankfully there are people that aren't like you. I notice you're in Germany. Imagine someone saying the same sort of thing about a company that bowed to the Nazis. I guess if you were around during that time you still wouldn't care. Get lost, prick.

I didnt say china is bad but their government is satan

Wow, that's certainly a terrible human rights violation, having some third rate, dime-a-dozen, first person ripoff horror game removed from a store. Like I said, it's hilarious how many people take this that seriously, including you. Plus, I'd really like to know if there is some evidence that actually proves that the EVIL GOVERNMENT of China was responsible for this ban, and not GOG as a company responding to complaints from pro-government Chinese customers, as was the case with Steam. Because so far all I've heard is bullshit from neckbeards and really hardcore rebels that put Winnie the Pooh in their avatar or something.

Have I also mentioned that I think it's comical to expect high morals from companies? ANY company will do shady stuff if they can get away with it, some just do it more openly, that's all. Don't know what fantasy world you're living in if you think otherwise.

Plus, you can't really tell me to get lost, considering we're not physically interacting, just by the way.

How many books burnt by your grandfather were Shakespearean masterpieces?

They didn't lose trust, it's par for the course for any modern AAA title, so it's almost expected these days.

Fix Cyberpunk 2077 to the point where it can run on a budget gpu like what they did with Arkham Knight on the PC.

Most big companies that still exists in Germany (or Austria) and have existed in that time have bowed to the Nazis. And many of them not only bowed, they took advantage. The success and wealth of companies like BMW, Volkswagen, Dr Oetker, Thyssen, Krupp came from collaborating with the Nazis, using slave labour, supplying death camps and the Wehrmacht. They are trying to keep this under the rug to this day of course. Just have a look at the edit wars in their Wikipedia entries.

I personally try to avoid products from companies where I know for sure they are built on blood and pain. And that really limits the options in many fields. And lets not forget foreign companies like IBM which made a fortune selling the "computers" that made the Holocaust convenient. Or maybe google the businesses of Prescott Bush did with the Nazis, even after the war had broken out. And many other American companies.

There are a few exceptions, like the then manager of Carl-Zeiss, Hinrich, who found hundreds of reason to delay, lose, forget Nazi requests, and of course Schindler. But those are rare exceptions. Fact is, if you buy a product of a German company with a history, chances are, you're supporting the descendants of Nazis and Nazi collaborators, and while today's management probably aren't Nazis in any way, the foundations of these companies are built on blood and suffering.

Now, comparing this dimension to GOG deciding not to release a single game is - in my eyes - completely absurd. It not only fails to understand the hows and whys international business is based on, it also completely neglects the monstrosity of the Nazi regime and their capitalist friends. Many of the latter are (per descendants) still in business and very popular today.

"it also completely neglects the monstrosity of the Nazi regime "
The worst part of the holocaust was that it wasn't a monstrosity in your culture. It was just, daily life to the Germans. The banality of evil.

Capitalist friends... lol. I'm pretty sure the Palestinian Mufti wasn't a capitalist - but he was a good friend of Hitler as were most of the Arab countries and Japan. You know who was an evil Capitalist? the USA and the UK.

Only morons give an inch of their freedom. And only the children of book-burners would so casually dismiss this kind of infringement.

I was never really a fan of CDPR's own games like The Witcher series, and have no interest in Cyberpunk 2077. For me, it's all about the GOG store and the team in charge of it and they haven't really lost my trust. They just gained it actually, I just moved to this store!

I mean, the whole Devotion business sucks and is very regrettable, and I do blame them for that... But I can't leave GOG when it's the only store that does things in what I consider to be the 'normal' way. The store is so clean and feels so good to use in my opinion that it'd be hard for me to lose faith in them.

I can answer the opposite question instead! The day I lose trust in GOG is the day they stop curating their store. I'd lose a lot of good faith in the team if they decide to stop selling DRM-free games and tie my purchases to their client, but even then I'd continue using it because Steam and all 3rd party key sites I've found are awful alternatives that I just can't enjoy visiting.

Most people care about a full belly and a roof over their head first. Call those morons all you want.

And then you start a family... and suddenly the job you took is suddenly not just a job, it's feeding your family. You make compromises, you choose lesser evils. Because you're fucking responsible.
Then you are successful get promoted, or start your own business, have people under you. People with families and stuff. You make decisions, choose lesser evils. Because you're fucking responsible.

Only morons see the world as black and white and seek simple solutions, and not the many shades of grey (and other colours). Only morons, who have never felt responsibility.

I am with most of what you wrote here, except for the DRM thing, GOG games are DRM free
and yes i test EVERY purchase i make here, latest with CP77. Fully works without any
Galaxy/ GOG services running and without internet connection, completely standalone.
(still annoying the desktop icon doesn t link to the game executable) so you have to do that
manually, but once you do this the game works without the launcher, internet and if you insist
without communication service as well. That said GoG is the only store i buy because of this
i like to own what i buy, without madatory thrid party software attached to it.

However.... at this point i am not sure WHAT CDPR can do to regain the trust or part of the
good reputation they had pre CP77 release and i say this as long time CDPR community member
(even though the join date lies thx to the merge pre W3 release)

To give you a perspective HOW severely CDPR burned though my personal "good will"
I never preordered game, ever in 31 years of gaming EXCEPT for CDPR games after i played
W1... that TRUST is gone now. Not because of the rushed release alone, because of the
design decision and cuts that where made to meet the release.... the right decision after the
"GONE GOLD" delay would be to push back CP77 at least till MAY 21. They did not instead
CP77 is UI is a mess, physic and sound / music volume is all over the place... AI? Yeah....
and althought he City is looks so "alive" it isn t (reminds me of one of the earlier trailers in fact)

There are many things missing in the game or just messy... and then yeah are the decisions
of releasing games or not on GoG .... out of market/profit/ political reasons. So at this point i
rly can t say IF there is even a "turnback" possible at all.

What i know for sure... 2021 is a turning point for CDPR, remains to be seen if for the
better (old consumer friendly) or the all corpo way. I fear the latter is the case.

PS:
that doesn t mean CP77 is a bad game, in fact it is a really good game with still the potential
to be a EXLLENT one. When CP77 shines i rly shines and crushes the bad things about it,
but I NEEDs changes and some features coming back.

CDPSA admitted itself that they did indeed lose trust: Source: https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/wp-content/uploads-en/2020/12/call-transcript_en.pdf

(And ironically these promises about "rebuild the trust" and "stick to our values" were made ~2 days before banning 'Devotion'.)

I think the best thing cdpr can do right now is not make anymore promises about *when* things will be finished, do their best to fix bugs and glitches with cyberpunk and also refund everyone who requested, ASAP. That and also don't make business decisions on the basis of politics, such as what happened with the game Devotion. Keep politics out of it!
