Cadaver747: I'm sorry for being silly, it helps to cope with world craziness. It's one of my constitutional rights after all. Prices are very good of course, I dropped my ISP [corrected] two times and they decided to make me a good offer all of a sudden.
Be silly all you want....I was just making sure it was you being silly, is all.
Also, would you say they "made you an offer you couldn't refuse"? ;)
ariaspi: Indeed walls of text are off-putting for many people. If it's difficult for you to separately quote the paragraphs you reply to, at least put the numbers to your delimiting lines too (1. ======), not only to the replies. Just some advice, not picking on you.
I usually don't separate post parts to save time, and I would put numbers in people's posts as well but one or two complained about "bulletpoints"(i.e. numbering) in the replies so I limited it to my own reply bits to be nice to them.
Thanks for the advice btw....I am trying to cut back a bit on typing too much and repeating the same things in multiple post parts.
timppu: Somehow Humble Bundle has managed in that, even though they let you use a generic bittorrent client to download your game installers. I am not 100% sure if it is somehow possible to "tap in" and download any HB game if you just know the torrent link, but I presume the tracker or whatever it is makes sure that the download is initiated only from a HB account, logged in.
Also, GOG wouldn't necessarily need to use generic p2p clients or protocols either, they could just as well make their own. I recall that at least previously battle.net had something like that in the client, you could enable p2p so that content would also come from other users, and you would share your downloaded battle.net stuff as well.
I generally like the idea that download bandwidth can be shared like that, as long as it is optional. I can understand people with e.g. metered connections wouldn't want to be obliged to upload stuff to other users while they download.
1st bit above: Ah, a private/passworded tracker. I though you meant using a public/unlocked tracker...which would lead to abuse most likely.
2nd bit above: If they did then most likely MANY here would find it to be DRM(needing gog's program to download games) or against GOG tenets and complain about boycotts/leaving so it likely wouldn't happen.
3rd bit above: True enough and good points.
scientiae: How much does that cost?
PainOfSalvation: 70€. But i also got included in the package 2 sim postpaid cards with data, landline phone and around 100 tv channels.
So how many of those channels are repeats of others or actually have stuff worth watching? My cable has like hundreds of channels but many repeat other channel's content, are sports and music/etc, or aren't that interesting.
krugos2: Thanks, man, that sucks indeed. Of course, nobody can live with such salaries, so people here who have no access to better incomes are pretty much limited to three choices: leave the country (that's why there's a refugee crisis), have family abroad who can send them money or, the saddest one, begging and eating from the garbage on the bad days.
As for the prices rising, people complain all the time but it fall on deaf ears. With the repression we get here, you have to think twice about protesting or rioting for something that isn't vital... last month a teenager lost both eyes when a police shot rubber bullets to his face (without provocation) because they were protesting a cooking gas shortage. :(
If I had to deal with that sort of sh*t i'd go full on 1776 on the gov'ts arses.
