To clarify, we've never removed any content from users account's against their will and we never will. GOG is DRM-free and everything you purchased is yours and will stay yours, simple as that.

Wow, thanks for that. So Zombie Orkus is a nothing more than a mouse that yells, when it comes to removing games.
Was never interested in their movies. And after what they did definitely will not ever buy one.

Bookwyrm627: I've still got "The Gamers" in my account (and holy crap, it is selling for ~$80 on Amazon??), but it isn't showing up when I look at the Store page for movies. We're fine.
Oddly, I have it too ("The Gamers: Director's Cut"). I don't recall buying any movies from GOG, so was it offered for free at some point?

Or then it was part of some super-cheap bundle and I got it there, and don't just remember... Maybe I'll backup my three movies from GOG as well, since they are there. So far I've backed up only my GOG game installers.

EDIT: Maybe the answer is in my email receipts and the orders page, maybe there I'd see if I've actually paid anything for this movie from some hypersensitive people.

Well, I got "The Gamers" for free here, on November 18 in 2014. So there has been a giveaway from GoG.

Yes, I got that as well. Anyways to give it back, preferably in disgust.

Eh, they removed their products from the store, which is pretty much what they said they were going to do.

It was a freebie some years ago.

2014 Big Fall Sale. If you collected enough daily stamps visiting the front page daily, you got The Witcher 2 and The Gamers for free.
Oh, well...I meant to get JourneyQuest at some point, but I guess that saves me $16.

To be fair, they aren't anymore :P

Movies didn't take off here anyway with minimal and mostly uninteresting films being offered. There still a smattering being offered but nothing I'd buy over a game.
Who?
I do own one movie on here, the AVGN Movie. I don't remember how much I got it for, but it was likely for not much. Still haven't watched it yet. A lot of people have said it's pretty bad but I'm still curious to give it a look one of these days.

The only other movie I ever recognized on the storefront was Indie Game: The Movie (which I got in a Humble Bundle with a Steam key years ago - I haven't watched that one yet either).

Apparently these guys did Dark Dungeons, that's that pisstake adaptation of that Jack Chick tract that JonTron reviewed, right? I guess that's a third one (no longer here) that I know about. So I guess we (or I at least) got something good out of them even if just by proxy.

Welp, I really have nothing else to say here so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's funny, recently I've been thinking I should maybe start purchasing more movies and less games. Games take forever to finish so I mostly don't, and if I do and the game wasn't so good, I kinda regret the time spent. Movies are easier in that respect: it's just a couple hours or so. Not a big loss if the movie isn't great.

Bit of a shame the selection here is so slim. I still haven't purchased a movie.

Robette: I don't think they can, after all you can still download games which you bought but which where subsequently removed from the store over copyright issues or the likes.

firstpastthepost: I'm sure they can be removed from our accounts. I'm positive of that actually. All it takes is a letter from a lawyer from the rights holder. GOG doesn't own the products it's selling, if they're told to purge the data they hold they would have to comply or go to court.

GOGs terms and conditions to us can't override the terms and conditions of the product they are selling, and those terms say we are purchasing a license to use the product, not ownership of it.
It is possible for them to do that, people make that request from time to time.

Legally though, as long as GOG had a license to sell a license of the game at the time that the sale was made, then there's nothing that the rightsholder can do to force the game's removal.

The only exceptions I've heard were when it turned out that all the rightsholders hadn't signed off on the plan because there was somebody that wasn't known to have rights related to the product.
