That'd probably work, at least it'd make sense that it'd work. Not going to test, though. Turned off the cloud already, and I probably won't miss it.

Steam is probably the most successful example of competing with free due to numerous sales, easy purchasing and tons of games
However GOG itself is a good example of competing with free for the simple reason no DRM and easy purchasing makes people want to use their money as they won't be bothered by DRM and get great games

Giantbomb just took plenty of Mobys content to start their page. Not limited to screenshot. And from what was happening at the forums on Moby back then, they weren't happy about it.
Others might know more (eg Foxhack), but even from what I've seen back then, I will not visit that site.

From what I remember it was the GB pretty much got all of its starting screenshots and descriptions from Mobygames. People were pretty pissed.
This post from this thread also sum up what I thing about GB:
"Welcome to today's visual generation, where information is preferably acquired through the full multimedia experience rather than just reading. "

Yes, GiantBomb stole most of its initial content from MobyGames.
That's right, stole. Ripped off. When they were found out, they were all "oh we didn't mean to look we're removing all these screenshots and cover art", but they didn't remove the bulk of the data.
I may dislike the decisions made by MobyGames' management, but they sure as hell didn't deserve to have all that stuff ripped off like that.
In conclusion: I can never trust Giant Bomb because they started by stealing information from a much more respectable site.

I don't mind Giant Bomb.
Jeff is a pretty cool guy, though.
Completely agree with what he's saying here.
Plus, he played Galgun.

I go there for gameplay videos with funny commentary. Not even helpful commentary, they all generally suck at games and have vastly different priorities and tastes from me, but I get to see the games in action while they entertain me with nonsense.
