Join the guys in charge of GOG.com for a chat!

EDIT: The video has ended, but you can check out the recorded stream here (http://www.twitch.tv/gogcom/c/4113792), or just watch the highlights below. Thanks for participating, and be sure to leave us any comments you have on the topics we discussed below! :)

GOG.com is going live on Twitch <span class="bold">today</span> and we'd like to heartily invite all of you to join us. Our founder, Marcin Iwiński (known in the forums as <i>iWi</i>), Piotr Karwowski (<i>Destro</i>), the VP of Online Technologies, and Trevor Longino (<i>TheEnigmaticT</i>), the Head of Marketing and PR, will do their best to answer your questions while remaining at least a bit entertaining, on Tuesday April 22, 6:00PM GMT (that's 2:00 PM EDT and 11:00 AM PDT) in the [url=http://www.twitch.tv/gogcom]<span class="bold">GOG.com Official Twitch.tv Channel</span>.

This wouldn't be--of course--much of a Q&A if they didn't have any questions to answer. We count on you, dear GOGgers, to provide many interesting ones! There has been many interesting things happening around GOG.com, recently, so we're sure many of you have thing you'd like to ask us. There's a few ways to do that. You can ask your questions right here, in the forum thread below. You can sign in to the <span class="bold">Twitch live chat</span> as soon as the livestream starts, and post your thoughts and questions in there. Finally, you can tweet your question to our <span class="bold">@GOGcom Twitter account</span>, with the #GOGtwitch hashtag.

We'll be with you for at least an hour (we may end up going longer!), but that's probably still not enough time to answer all questions. We'll select just the ones we think are most common to the community as a whole, and the most interesting ones as well. After the livestream is done, we'll post a montage of its highlights with just a slight delay needed to put the thing together.

Again, we invite you to <span class="bold">GOG.com Official Twitch.tv Channel</span> today, 6:00PM GMT (that's 2:00 PM EDT and 11:00 AM PDT), and we hope you'll find time to join us. In fact, drop half an hour early to catch our Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure gameplay stream!

I´d be interested in getting information about how you pick the new addition for the catalog:
Are you just trying to get nearly "everything" or are you waiting for developers to speak to you?
And: At which point is the wishlist the important factor---in other words:
How much impact got a vote on the wishlist for you and the devs on GOG.com?

Ok, when should we prepare for the next Insomnia Sale?

tYyPpI: Twitch live chat... *shudder*
Whats to shudder about that?
Apart from trolling chatters and some imature ones, its pretty awesome from the GoG staff that they set time off to do such things as to chat with ordinary users.

Way better than many other companys that dont interact with their userbase at all.

Ghorpm: Are you aware that games , [url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/y]Y and do exist? And I know at least one person who would be thrilled to see Z here. And no, it's not me, I have a strong love-hate relationship with this game ;P Besides, I already own it. <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general_archive/invitation_twitchtv_qa_livestream/post35" class="link_arrow"></a></div><div class="small_avatar_2_h"><img src="/upload/avatars/2013/03/2e07ab8ee122404d03f6d47c7250ca3ea8526feb_t.jpg" width="16" height="16" alt="avatar" /></div><span class="quot_text"><span class="quot_user_name">JudasIscariot: </span></span>I am aware of Z, yes, and I know who you're talking about that would love to see Z here (he or she has a General Zod avatar and hails from Australia, I believe).

TBH I didn't know about X and Y neither :P But Z immediately came to my mind so I thought to myself "I wonder if games X and Y exist?" To my surprise it turned out they did ;)

I have a couple questions although they are more legal ones.

1) How do you think gaming and the internet will be as a whole if SOPA manages to get passed?


2) If copyright law was reduced (rather than extended) back down to something reasonable, reasonable enough some licensed games in your library no longer is covered by copyright, what happens and how would it be handled?

(Considering they would technically be free/public-domain at that point) For those interested in copyright, see Forever less one day


3) With so many companies happily handing out Content ID matches and DMCA claims on YouTube/Google (most notably Nintendo) where do you think it would be safe to be able to submit such content (be it monetized or not)?

My question:

Who are the winners of the GOG rap contest?

Unless I missed it, I have not seen any announcements pertaining to them since the original one.

Also,

Are there any new publishers coming to GOG in the near future?

Deep Silver was a pleasant surprise, and I cannot wait to play Sacred 2.

Lastly,

Is there any chance the remaining entries of the Splinter Cell franchise be available here on GOG?

and

Is there any chance Beyond Good and Evil HD will arrive here?

Good thing! I`ll do my best to try to find some time to watch the stream.

I've never heard of Twitch TV and I don't use twitter... But if no account is needed, I might tune in...

You can watch streams on twitch as a guest, though I think you need to be logged in to take part in the chat.

drealmer7: Rather than posting, or in addition to posting, a montage, can you post the whole thing, uncut? It drives me nuts to see things like that hacked up and probably won't watch it if it is.
I'll second that.

As for the questions your treatment of the GOG bear has me quite worried:
- Will he/she ever be happy?*
- Will he/she ever get a promotion? You really ought to leave the slave labour to the server bots (until they're advanced enough to rebel).

* For the uninitiated: &amp; [url=http://kingofgng.com/media/20101007_gog_error.png]'The Weight of the World'.

I vaguely remember the bear smiling on one occasion but it might have been at gunpoint .

i asked these questions via twitter, but i'll ask them here again:

1: are you folks ever going to implement support for debit cards? i don't like credit cards at all and refuse to get one - which is one major reason i've never bought anything [and i would like to - a lot of what i'm playing on my channel is stuff i own, but there's /lots/ of other stuff you guys have that i'd like to have a digital version of.]

2: are you folks ever going to implement a "gog.com" style card of the sort that itunes do? this way, i wouldn't have to give you any banking details at all and i'd /vastly/ prefer that solution to any other. yeah, yeah, i know. typically, those cards "screw" you buy being $10 when the game is $9.99 leaving you short, but...of all the ways i'd buy from you, that would be the "most secure" to my mind.

3: i didn't ask this over at twitter, but it's worth a mention: are you guys going to have a transcript of all the answers so that we can read them somewhere that isn't twitch?

They do provide you with the option of using paysafe.
