"Where the hell is Thursday's old game?!", that's what we need.

Good one.

Why did I wake up thinking it was Thursday? :(

Now I have to wait another 24 hours.

So do we get a new game today I wonder? We got the Telltale games here recently, so we'll probably get nothing today(Especially with the sales going on.), but one can hope...and dream.....a little dream....

Geneforge Saga. yawn, already on Steam and GG.

where's Carmageddon?!?

Some people might want all of their games on one site you know. ;)

And yeah, I also bought them on Steam. I'd have gotten them here, though, if i'd known they were coming here.

that's impossible. even GamersGate with all their 3000 games doesn't even come close to having all the games i want. with just over 400 games, it's impossible on GOG, unless you limit yourself severly.

To some, GOG is the ONLY site(Maybe they like DRM-free aspect of the games here, or something else entirely.)....so it is possible. Such people just wait for stuff to come to GOG, or they buy on GOG and GG, but prefer games to be on GOG & as such they wait for them to come here if possible.

yeah, but like i said: you have to limit yourself severly. there's a HUGE number of great games that aren't on GOG and will never be on GOG. methinks the games should be more important than some weird sense of distributor loyalty.

you wouldn't do that with books, would you? "i'm not reading Hamlet because it hasn't been published by XYZ!" makes no sense.

Geneforge is actually one of those games that if I buy it, I buy it here. As it is an old game, there is nothing Steam has to offer me on this. And I won't buy it from the devs site, because I don't want to reward is utter lack of understanding in regard to digital marketing.

Yeah, I kind of think the whole "losing your identity" thing has already started kicking in.

but since there are no compatibility issues with these games GOG has nothing to offer me, either. so i'll buy them from the place that gives me the better deal, which is likely to be Steam since GOG doesn't do discounts above 50-60%. and i already have the second Avernum trilogy as well as Avadon on Steam, and i'd like to keep a series of games in the same place.

Wouldn't a better example be "I'm not reading Hamlet bought from X store because it is being sold by X store."?

And it makes perfect sense for some...some might want to see their favorite distributor grow, or they dislike the policies implemented by other such sites(And thus don't want to give them any business.). You and others may think such reasons silly but to some they are perfectly valid.

Yeah, the pricing is good here on this series. And yeah, Jeff doesn't know how to price his games competitively/realistically(Especially as he sells online and not through brick and mortar.), it seems.

For me personally pricing is not the deciding factor, as I consider a good game deserves a decent price. And 15$ would be what I'm willing to pay for the series.

And as I like GOG as a service (more than any other DD service), I would prioritise them, with equal offers. Voting with my wallet and all that.

That's going back to the lengthy debates on whether releasing newer games would change GOG's identity or not, and I think it did. It used to be a store where you could buy stuff no one else had; now it's both that and a store that's desperately trying to catch up with the last five years in indie gaming, and it's both very slow and not terribly competitive at it.

Just an idle observation, really. The concept of releasing new games is fine, but so far, most of the new releases have been very unexciting, if you ask me.
