HomerSimpson: This is one of the most cynical, and humorous, threads I have read on this forum.
avatar
dudalb: The cynicism is because of GOG's little stunt last September, which has been forgiven but not forgotten.
My own bet is the annoucement of a major publisher,either EA or Lucasarts.
If they can't forget a simple few days off Gog then I dunno what to say.

gamebin: Blasphemous!

For me, there is nothing bigger than Wing Commander! Especially a DVD version of IV. :-)

GameRager: Again.....we have enough space/flight shooters already. We need more of them like we need more soccer or pinball games.....as in not that much. We need a title that'll draw many fans from differing genres. Trouble is I don't know how many first person adventure arcade shooter sports sim games there are from EA.
WIng Commander is in a class by itself as far as Space Shooters go.
And like most Americans, I don't give a goddamn about Soccer.

Yeah fook soccer, but still, a good percentage more people would like a title from a genre other than that one.

A lot of us were scared that GOG was gone for good.
If they would have announced that the site would be down a few days for an upgrade, no problem. But they tried to be cute and upset a lot of their customers.
You seem to have a unique slant on reality.

Nope...they left plenty of clues that that wouldn't happen....and also they explicitly stated that people would be able to download their games in a few days again. (So even the people who thought they were shutting down knew they'd be able to download all their content even if the site was shutting down....which was one of their main concerns.)

Honestly, I understand getting upset but if little things like this upset people then I dunno how they cope with reality.

GameRager: Well as I said they'll probably want to drop a few big draw titles first, preferrably non-niche(like sports/sims/flight games/etc) to draw as many sales as possible the first day. Yeah we have enough adventures, but then again they do sell good in many cases. I'm not inferring that flight shooters/sims don't sell good either, it's just not likely that'll be the first day release choice.
They wouldn't necessarily be your first choice, but you aren't GOG. Where do you get the idea that a game like Wing Commander would be "niche"? You do realize that after the adventure game, the second big gaming genre to flourish on the PC was flight and air/space combat sims and possibly the biggest one of all of them was the WC series. There are very few old games out there that deserve the GOG treatment more that the WC series does and if it were ever to show up here, it would produce a massive influx of new members and sales.

Anyone that was "scared" that GOG had gone under simply wasn't paying attention. As always, GOG left obscurely obvious clues to what was happening all over the place, even in the content of the original shutdown notice. They had even told us on multiple occasions in the months leading up to the shutdown that they would be making a massive update to the site in September, but none in the "panicked" crowd even considered that a site update might actually involve some site downtime. Unfortunately, GOG did not anticipate that or that people would miss the clues and reacted far too slowly to the panic it caused, which just made the situation worse.

I'm just offering up my opinion, same as everyone else here.

The PSN hackers got our account info, and everyone on GoG will be forced to play the censored Australian version of The Witcher 2. ^_^

No, the announcement is that George Michael is gay. It will cause shock through the gog community.

I cant wait for clock to strike zero and we find out that hopefully EA is on board even better would be betterthat gog buys EA and that all thier old games are avaliable for free (Would be like winning the lottery but i can still dream)
Posted June 02, 2011
I know GOG.com are considered nice guys, but them buying up EA and giving us all the games for free is a bit of a stretch. :P
