zeffyr: Everything's cool, but I'm afraid that more community-based GOG will forget about releasing true, old gems. Like Ignition!
Yeah, I hope they at least continue releasing a new GOG every Thursday, leaving the rest of the week for the titles that you can get everywhere else.

I like.

The Tabs setup is going to take a little getting used too, but I like the additions.

The biggest negative is that they scrambled all my games up in my account :(

I just have a problem with the addition of The Witcher 2 to cart?

What about the $ 16 compensation?

SLP2000: Well, Machinarium and Trine aren't casual games.

First is amazing adventure game, and second is very good platform game. We already had similar games on Good Old Games, and they perfectly fit.
Casual doesn't mean bad, it just means less 'depth'/simpler controls than the mainstream. Given a mainstream platformer is something like Assassin's Creed which is in 3d, has more weapons and more detailed controls than Trine (not to mention a fully acted and cutscened story) I don't see how it can be anything else.

I supposed it does make sense from a business point of view as some of the older games on the site are similar to today's casual games but having to wade through too many simple games on other sites does make me dread having to do the same here as well.

What's wrong with the fucking part? Everyone needs a bit of fucking, and a bit of Dreamfall to boot.

Don't worry; we have dozens of classic games signed, in the process of remastering, and scheduled to come out on GOG.com in the next few months. We aren't going to stop releasing classic games.

I have a different definition of casual (although I know that in some cases even Heroes of Might & Magic 3 is considered as casual game).

Casual game is a game for a persone who is not a gamer - just use computer to play a game to let time pass (like for example, you have no work to do but you have to stay in office). Card games, some easy logic puzzles, hidden ocject games etc.

Sure, but the word fuck is so overused these days that it lacks impact.

You can prove it by providing the list. (worth to give it a try).

Thank you! My fears are put to rest.

shatteredstone: One thing that would rock would be if you were to talk to the various Indie Bundle publishers that have released the games you are now picking up already, and work out a deal to get GOG-codes for them, too. Trine, Darwinia, Spacechem, Machinarium have seen releases in Indie-Bundles already; having those bundle-keys provide gog.com keys would promote both gog.com and them (you get more eyeballs and exposure, they get more delivery mechanisms and longevity, and us customers get an expanded gog.com shelf of games (which we already paid for -- and costs to you should be negligible compared to the exposure :)

You may even want to talk to, say, Humble/Wolfire and see whether you can get all the games of the next bundles on gog.com as well :)
I like the idea, especially if that would introduce cross-platform games to Gog.
