RafaelLopez: So, in the end, no anniversary promo? What a let down.

Well, to be fair, the second anniversary isn't as important as the first. They can skip it without too much fuss in the long run. Perhaps things got delayed and will be unveiled later, maybe for the christmas sale?

I'm not feeling let down by this, but I found their complete lack of partecipation in this thread a bit disappointing. They could have just said "Thanks for the compliments, guys!", and I'd be content with that.

Maybe things aren't doing so well to be celebrating GOG's second anniversary :(

Sometimes it's really hard being DRM-free... hard to keep things the way they are and keep management and publishers happy :(

Dang to bad they wouldn’t point game publishers here...
There is revenue here. They should understand the mind set of people who play classic games is quite a bit different then that of people who have no sense of nostalgia ;)
We (for the most part) all understand that if we wanted to we could get these games for free, and yet we sign up and come here, and pay money for epically sentimental games that bring us back to the days when our life was simple. Our recapturing of our youth, inspired by seeing the very things working again brought back from the dead.
It is like free money for the publishers to sign up, as some of these games are how old? I mean really. The publishers do not have to do much if anything at all. I don’t need games that just came out, but if some games I played way back when ie New Horizons, or Emperor of the fading suns. Those games, I would snatch up so fast it would make Koticks head spin. Just like the games I have already bought on GoG.

And in some cases - maybe most cases?? We already own the disc based game. I know I do. It is about support for something that is good and worth it - something most publishers don't get (Yet)

What you said. Further, I prefer to introduce my kid to these games when I get them here. I know I won't have to mess with compatibility or searching for patches or whatever. I can come here, look over the games that I have, see screen shots and descriptions, then we're off. These are the features I'm paying for by buying games here that I already have or could get trivially elsewhere.

This has been one of the very surprising fringe benefits of GOG for me; my kid now plays a whole bunch of games he otherwise would never have had contact with if it weren't for GOG. Right now we're both in the middle of our own Spellforce games and it is a blast "one-upping" each other with our progress through the game. I can't wait until I can get my second PC back up and running so we can get some LAN action going!
