Yes I believe this is the most important question. Answer carefully, for your life hinges upon it.

We are the GOG's welcome party. we got paid to give you a warm welcoming assurance.

As a Lancashirian, from the Northwest of GB, it's a pretty amazing site for us old gamers. It could stand to get a few hundred more classic games from the 1990s, but it's a great start with what they have here now. They spend LARGE amounts of time chasing the legal-side of the business, nailing down the rights-holders to the floor, smothering them in jam and calling in a few dozen hungry rats to gnaw their sensitive bits until they agree to sign up and release their back catalogues... :P

I'd really avoid paying for stuff with bank cards, though - I'm with RBoS, and they hit you with a £1.25 or so charge to convert to $/pay to Cyprus. I have linked my account to PayPal, and the charge for conversion there is a far more modest 10pence. Ask at your bank for further details of their charges for international transactions if you're unsure -some WILL refuse Cyprus as a hotbed of money-laundering.

I've been here since March 2007, and THIS is my catalogue of purchases!
OK, it's not as big as some, but I'm kind of fussy at what I buy :P

Sorry to be nitpicking, but this wrong question in the utterly the wrong place.
And almost every single one of you answered it the wrong way.


The OP asks the Forum provided by GOG, moderated by GOG (debatable of course but we do have mods), supported by GOG and censored by GOG about what?
Yes, exactly GOG itself?


It's like asking Chrysler if they are producing the best cars.
Hell, It's like asking an American patriot if the US are the good ones spreading Democracy and freedom around the world.

What do you expect us to tell you?

We are either a bunch of organized criminals just waiting for you to get all your money or we spambots with the same purpose.
We could of course been brainwashed and forced into lauding this site as the almighty supervisor of GOG told us to do.

In all possible cases this is worst place you could ask such a question.

You can be thankful that it isn't up to me as I wouldn't want such a gullible person here in this Forum. :-)

But as I am in a good mood today I'm giving some free advice.

Never trust anyone. Not even your teachers or your mom. Never ever trust what anonymous people say in forums, especially not about the very same forum.

IF you REALLY want to know if this site is legit, do some bloody research on your own. Use Google, ask other "renowned" PC-Gaming-Userbases, or at least ask your friends.

So the correct answers to this question are.

Either:

a) No you can't! Trust is a weakness! (Cookies for the reference)

b) We are not going to tell you! Find it out on your own.

bevinator: Just for the record, did you really expect an answer other than "yes" ?

I mean, if this site was a big scam, wouldn't everyone here tell you it was great and you should spend all your money anyway?

You're much better off doing a little digging of your own like Adzeth has done, or checking myWOT, which is an awesome place too.
This.

To be fair, most of the mainstream sites tend to ignore GOG. On Monday there was a posting on CNET for all of the Cyber Monday sales on digital dist sites like Steam, Origin, Amazon, Gamefly, Gamestop... the first commenter mentioned GOG and their current sales, then mentioned that the Steam sales listed were expired. The article writer thanked the poster for the Steam info, updated the article with it, and ignored the GOG portion of the comment entirely. Pathetic.

Shacknews does regularly reference GOG though...
