We know you're busy people, but would you like to contribute to an even better GOG? How about taking 5 minutes of your time to make the GOG experience an outstanding one?

Our main goal when designing GOG.com was to create the best user experience in digital distribution ever. Many say we're doing it right, but we want to get even better, that's why we're launching a survey that will help us lead GOG in the way you'd like it to go. Taking part in it isn't required of course, but if you want to have your share in making GOG the best digital distribution service there is (or at least even better than it is right now) and maybe win a free game, devote few minutes of your time to answer couple questions we've prepared. From all users who will take part in the survey, we'll randomly choose 20 who will receive a free GOG game of their choice. Grab a pencil... er, a keyboards in your hands and answer the below questions for a better future for all of us :)

The survey ends on Thursday, October 27 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

I should have mentioned in the comments box that I'm not a fan of the release schedule. I don't like the almost slavish devotion to the two games per week on Tuesday and Thursday schedule. I would also like to have a proper "Coming Soon" list with actual dates.

I love GOG, and I think that you guys are really doing great with your deals and services. If I could say one thing to really be of some help to a continued satisfying experience for all users new and old, I would have this to say: Keep up the good work! And don't change a thing without asking the community first. I think that's really important.

GOG ROCKS. Thank you fro bringing back the classics and making them compatible with the newer OS.
I would not mind new games, as long as these are games that are not being given a fair shake in the market - I mean, I'd like to see more TBS, more classic RPG, and well-structured and thought out RTS. The few (and really, it's all going console) games developed for PC these days are FPS - get it - been there, done that. If GOG can make available new games that have good to awesome gameplay AND are DRM-free, I'm all for it. Actually, I think it's a hell of an opportunity,

I just submitted my survey, and I have to admit, I left some questions blank because I just wasn't sure how to answer. Some was pure lack of opinion, but some was bad question-answer setup.

For example, I live in the US. There was a question that asked if I'd rather see prices in my own local currency rather than have to convert from USD. My answer choices were yes or no. But USD *is* my local currency.

New games on gog, drm free? All for it... however it is good OLD games so there should be a balance. Make that an unfair balance in favor of older games.

Strange. I can still see it. It's right under the text you just quoted.

one uhm never knew i had his many games on gog :) Im too oldschool :)

I beleive GOG would have problems making new games DRM free as that would breach copy write but older games like 3 years or older they will probably get away with it. I could be wrong but thats my 2 cents worth.

deonast: Ah but the latest and greatest games should require less work to get working reliably on new systems. With the new games it may just be a case of removing the DRM, still leaving plenty of time for resurrecting old games. I'm all for new games provided they don't come at the expense of old classics.

hucklebarry: Agreed. Many people seem to think that new games mean no more old games. I'd love to see them add newer games while continuing to add older games as well. (and this is how I understood the question about ADDING newer games).

Additionally, these newer games, are depreciating in value, while I have money burning a hole in my pocket. In other words... Deus Ex, crysis, Thief4, skyrim, Dragon Age, Mass effect, dead island, Diablo 3, dungeon siege 3, Max Payne 3, etc. (some not yet released). I just named $500.00+ and I know I'm missing some games I've passed on due to DRM. These games are NOT available in retail form for me, but given the GoG treatment, it would be found money for them. Meanwhile, they can also add the classic games we all know and love.

If the games are DRM free, and given the general GoG treatment, we all win when the catalog grows. The only disagreement I see to adding newer games is from folks that want a place to shop for older games. There is no reason that ADDING newer games should take that away from anyone.

/my 2 cents.
You have good points, both of you. As long as there is no decrease in the influx of older games, then I don't have that much of a problem with them putting up newer ones. I am all for choice, which is one of the worst problems with some game portals nowadays. With most, there is little choice. You must like HOGs (Hidden Object Games) or you must like FPS (First Person Shooters), etc. There is a requirement to join, pay a monthly fee, then sit and hope for something you want to show up while you continue to shell out money for nothing. If I am going to join a site, then there must be choices and lots of them, especially if there is a fee involved. Thank God for GOG, which has free membership and a fabulous selection of games that you won't find elsewhere, plus a community that really cares about helping each other and making sure that their gaming experience is a happy one.

I come to good old games for the DRM-free aspect first and foremost; the game being old doesn't typically entice me as much as knowing that whatever I buy, I have a deeper sense of ownership than I do with my steam library. I think adding newer games wouldn't tarnish gog's message and purpose, just like adding the Witcher and its sequel didn't taint the waters. Something from years back but still recent, like Bioware's KotOR and Jade Empire would be wonderful additions.

I am, however, very impressed with the recent year from gog, and I've seen a lot of my absolute favorite games come out this year alone, so keep it up!
