Well, Im a Steam user and for the most of the time I get my games on Steam until recently I got a bit off from Steam because of the stuff theyre creating recently which doesnt have anything to do with costumers...

I always thought this site was actually better than any other site after Steam and GOG you are doing better than Valve recently, always stay in the side of costumers because they are your pillars.

Recently I got off from Steam because of their stupid policies such as giving ability to developers or moderators to change the reviews on the game.

I like the way your games are DRM FREE which i dont have to install any client in order to install a game I own.
And I can put it in my flash USB and install it anywhere any computer I want without a limitation such as dealing with a client which forces you to close your account if its open on more than a single machine...

One thing I wish is that you release games only on full release, the Steam early access has been turned into another scam, most of the people are unhappy the way their game comes out including myself which I have exactly 8 early access game which I bought because of the fake trailers and the fake promised contents, broken, extremely buggy, poor AI and so on... I wish I didnt get them on the first place because Im not touching them and because I already got off from them.

Steam recently launched a review system which gives ability to write a review on the game you own.
But it also gave an option to the developers and moderators to flag it, or mute, this mostly turned into another scam which some developers are using this as a tool, muting negative reviews and bumping the good ones...

Mostly your negative reviews would be censored or will be deleted.

Anyway Its good to see most of the games on here doesnt require patches thats also another plus.

I like the way this site is doing, i always disliked DRM, when theres a DRM on the top of the game I have purchased it makes me feel like Im a robber, its a game its not a jewelry or something I own it and I dont want you to control it, that simple, another game is the Two Worlds series, I got the games on sale and this game asked me to sign up and put the CD key's I have and so on.. I got it on Steam so if Steam itself is DRM and why should I have to sign for another confirmation? That game I never touched after the screen...

Anyway Im here and I like the way GoG is doing.
Nice to see a post like this. Welcome to GOG!

Ooo that I did not know. I had noticed the new review system, but I had not realized developers could alter choose which reviews to display. I kind of thought it was either most recent reviews first, or like GOG's system most helpful reviews first. That is very, very good to know, thank you for the heads up!

Now then, welcome to GOG! I hope you're ready because this is the calm before the December sale which was absolutely crazy last year. So make a list and hold on to your hat because it gets nuts.

yeah.. i officially dont like the early access trend. Its pretty much the episodic model.. except with bugs and an indefinite schedule.
Though thats not to say it hasnt been used well before. I think blackguards is a good example of a game that has used it well.

There's nothing to dislike, really - if you don't want to take a chance of buying a buggy game, you don't buy an early access game. I actually wish GOG got something similar as it's a way to support many indies who don't quite have the money to see the development trough. It stands to reason that you have to be careful before buying tho.

How do you know devs actually have this option? What's your source on that information? I mean, both Survivor Stories and Garry's Incident are two games where devs are well-known for working hard to contain any criticism, yet negative reviews are on the top - and there's definitely not enough reviews so that would be all that hard to do if devs had ability to moderate those

As far as I'm concerned it is an option for those that want to take a chance, personally I wouldn't buy into it unless I already trust the devs or if the game looks interesting enough (and cheap enough) where I'll take a chance. Otherwise, I'm content to wait and see. I already have enough of a backlog to keep me busy for a long time to come, anyways

Oh, and welcome to gog, Skulz87
GOG IS doing well. :D

Welcome to GOG. Forgive the Steam fans, there are a few floating around the forums.....they probably hang around here because the community imho is better :D
Your doing great GOG but , it seems the price of your games have gone up!
I remember when this site first started, it seemed all the games were under $5.00.......what gives?
LOL, that may be the first time someone has praised GOG's review system, if only by implicit comparison XD
I hate Steam.
I say, GOG, you're looking well, have you been working out?
