Great suggestion! I wonder how that would work into their promotions though. On one hand I don't want to have to rebuy a game to get a discount on a bundle, otoh people will probably abuse the system to get a discount without buying the games they don't want.

I'd love to see more recent games without DRM with the caveat that it continues to also update good old games!

So, basically, more of everything the way we like it.

Also, I'd like a pony. :)

Done and done!

Yes. Yes, they would.

See, the problem with surveys is that people try to offer marketing advice via replies. GOG's questions are phrased quite competently to prevent that, but people would still read them as requests for marketing advice no matter what the questions say.

E.g. when GOG asks for a payment system you would use if it was available, they're asking about you specifically. Of course the answer to "what system should we implement" is "every system in the multiverse that offers reasonable rates and security". They're asking the question to prioritize.

So when the question is "would you buy newer games if they were offered GOG-style", this isn't the time to offer marketing advice through a 1-to-5 radio answer. The 1 to 5 score should be proportional to a survey-taker's interest in newer games and that's it. I chose 5 of course, a grognard who thinks new games suck should choose 1 even if he considers selling newer games a valid marketing strategy.

What people shouldn't do is put in "NO WAIIII" implying "HELL YES, I'd buy every newer game in existence GOG-style but it'd be more reasonable to sell them on another site so that the stylistic and price differences wouldn't have negative effects". Seriously, people, put some trust in TheEnigmaticT.

However - this is to GOG administration:

I remember the question about optionally storing credit card information was phrased as "do you want it implemented". And my answer is "No, I don't." Not that I wouldn't use it (although of course I wouldn't) - I'm afraid if it ever gets implemented, the security procedures site-wide will get annoying no matter if you opt in or not, and I don't want that. People have been asking for store credit - no way, screw store credit for the very same reason.

Currently, there's no reason to hack into a GOG account. If card info is stored there, people will try to hack/phish in to perhaps negotiate some gift/favor-exchange deal (e.g. "you buy me Heroes 6 and I gift you every GOG game in existence"). FYI DigitalRiver (Ubisoft's download provider) has been graylisted by my bank, meaning I have to phone the bank, confirm the transaction and ask to pretty please unblock my card after each transaction. GOG is fine with them, and I want it to stay that way. And I don't want to put in my street address if the product is a digital download, ever.

Sure 3 years seems to be GOG's definition :) - and the shelf can be tabbed or unified or sorted how the user wants it.

Yes, excellent idea. Also include all the good fan mods too.

This is going to embarrass me, but where is the survey?

If GOG gets newer games, GOG will be called GG. Well, GG everyone!

They should have had more options for the number of gog.com games purchased, 30+ is low by my standards as I have over 100 of them now !

Forgot to add this suggestion. Please make sure that the downloads are as small as possible (use max compression). This will help increase your sales because alot of people have slow connection. This is why I would never buy games from Origin because they dont compress their games, so their games takes more than twice as long to download than from other sites. Dragon Age Origin Ultimate was 27Gb on their site and only 12.4Gb on D2D which is where I ended up downloading from and it still took me 4 days.

The idea of DRM free games is awesome. I would obviously prefer that closed platforms like Steam, even if it means a bit more money.

The previous is specially true if you try multiplatform games (linux users like to play, y'know?)

GOG.com > Desura > Steam > Origin

I've thought of another suggestion since taking the survey - make an updated shelf system. The current shelf works fine for those with less than 50 games or whatever, but for those of us who've been adding titles for a long while (or at least for me, anyway), it's become virtually impossible to sort all that stuff without the page glitching out and moving every box all over the map. If any of the site managers have the ability to look at individual users' shelf layouts, feel free to have a look at mine and you'll see the problem.

So basically, what I'm saying is I think that April Fool's joke you guys ran a while back about Shelf 2.0 was actually a good idea.

Done =D
