Hear ye! hear ye!

By King's decree the mighty kingdom of GOG is seeking for brave and valiant adventurers who will help to retrieve the great lost treasures from Ubisoft. The path ahead of those who will undertake this task is strewn with dangerous enemies and dreadful places. Many heroes won't come back in one piece, but for those who will succeed a great prize awaits at the end.

The first quest to become a GOG Hero starts today! We need you to help us spread the word about our new, upcoming Ubisoft releases. To do that all you need is just retweet this message "Become a GOG Hero, help spread the word about our new Ubisoft releases, and win a free GOG game #gogcom http://t.co/MJWo2JG" before Sunday, March 13 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. By completing this quest you'll automatically enter for a drawing of 1 of 100 free game codes from GOG.

That's only the first quest in the upcoming weeks. If you don't want to participate this time, don't worry. Everyone who participates in at least one quest will become a GOG Hero and will be eligible to win great loot with the big, special prize at the very end.

You're asking what's the grand prize? What is the main thing that every hero needs? (No, unfortunately we won't be giving away a princesses’ hand in marriage, sorry.) We'll reward the greatest GOG hero with a real sword, a GOG branded shield, and $150 USD worth of GOG games!

I don't use Twitter either. I don't even know what a tweet is. Hell, I can't for the life of me imagine what the use of Twitter is. As far as I understand, it's sort of a mini-blog, except you're not given the space to actually write anything...


WHAT A SHAME

I can only agree with the other users here. Clearly making this available to only twitter users is the worst thing to happen to PC gaming since it was invented. I will never buy games again and probably quit using any sort of electronic devise for the rest of my life out of spite against this course of action that violates my human rights.

thelovebat: You should just have people spread the word on facebook instead, that way you're not forcing people to signup on twitter just to participate.
What the hell's the difference? That would force users to sign up on Facebook instead.

Why not give us a quest to run around naked in the street shouting "GOG! GOG! GOG!" all the time? I could do that.

Wow. I've never seen so many old people concentrated in one place. Get on with the times, gramps!

Hesusio: Word of advice GOG, I love you all, but do you really think discriminating against people who don't use Twitter is such a wise course of action, considering your fan base?

Normally I'd be salivating all over such a prize, but I already succumbed to Facebook and to that I say NO MORE! So I'm going to have to sit this one out. Good luck to all our Twitter-savy GOG users.

Except for the fact that most people who use the internet already have a facebook account for things like keeping in touch with friends, networking......so it wouldn't really be forcing it on anyone, maybe one or two people if anyone.

I'm 20 years old. I bet that's younger than you are.

That's discriminating against people who don't have streets near their home.

Can't participate, no twitter in my kingdom. And if the next quest is about facebook, I'm out of bounds again.

Cook: To all users who don't have and don't want to have Twitter account - this is just the first quest. During the next three weeks we'll roll out more quests, so everyone can participate. You need to take part in at least one quest to be eligible to win the grand prize. Please keep on checking GOG for next quests.
Cool. Still one of them will almost surely be Facebook and that's another weapon I don't possess.

I am not old, I just don't need it. In fact most people around here doesn't even know what the Twitter is.

Oh, I guarantee you that we are many who avoid Facebook, for many reasons. Just recently there was a contest at another site, same kind of deal only it was on Facebook. The comment thread there immediately filled up with people saying "What, Facebook? I wouldn't touch that place with a ten foot pole." So your assumptions about the ubiquitousness of Facebook are incorrect :)
