Twisting my words a little. I have no issues with gog selling any games on here and competition is always a good thing. What I am saying is that a lot of us came here for old games and we're not getting our 2+ releases a week and gog guaranteed us that the old games wouldn't suffer as a result of them branching out into newer/indie.
Gog can release as many indie/new games as they like without complaint from me, provided they keep up the old game quota and release 1 or 2 old games on a Tuesday and Thursday every week.

This is what a lot of people don't get with those of us complaining about old games taking a back seat. We only want what we were told we'd get and most of us aren't opposed to them branching out.

I don't want my games to exist only on steam. The whole reason I use gog for old games and not steam is because I use an older laptop, a htpc and an old desktop pc to play my old pc games where memory and system resources are top priority; steam is a great client but it's just that, a client and so it eats into this, whereas gog games being standalone installs means that there's no excess usage and with the drm removed, in some cases it's even more resource friendly than the original.

Of course!
And the special GOG mode where you get to operate on all the GOG employees.

Is that a serious or non-serious "of course"?

This seems like the kind of game that you could play for half an hour before the gimmick wears off.

I do not mind it being released here, because it is not that hard to just not buy a game that doesn't interest me. Also, because I do not believe that releasing a goofy little indie game is the only thing that's keeping GOG from signing the big three, and if only they hadn't released this, we'd be swimming in classics at this very moment.

They turned down Arcania, Painkiller Overdose, and The Guild 2 series?

I agree with the_bard: this

Perhaps we should send them Lt. Worf and a couple of Klingons to settle this problem. ;)

Agreed!

I wonder if I can do what those fucking doctors did to me? They wouldn't even let me keep the rib they removed, bastards!

What's worse is they came out to my father in the waiting room and said, "I'm very sorry. We did all we could but he pulled through anyway."

Posted for this in the gifting thread, if not I hope it's still on sale come 10-16.

The non-serious or 'sarcastic' usage.

Certainly not for me thanks

ITT: people who don't realize that Surgeon Simulator is NOT part of the huge series of horrible German simulators.

also, people think that ArcaniA would have been the better release? you've got to be kidding me.

Just a little gutted about that Arcania, Guild 2, Painkiller thing. All three of those games I have specifically not bought elsewhere, not even when they were bundled. I was waiting to buy them here. :(

I Dont think people will care.
I think i have given up and im pretty close joining the complain train crowd.
If you cant beat them, just join them kinda thing.

Though maybe i shoud complain in all the releases, even classics just to be annoying, but that woud probably be seen as trolling and it dosnt help that there are people that will even complain in a classic release so that method will probably just drown with the rest of them.

Well, I hope the folks that buy this enjoy it. Personally it looks like a short-lived premise, entertainment-wise. It frankly seems like one of those space-filling titles one sees in a bundle (and I suspect it soon will be). Perhaps, having not tried it, I am wrong about the play value and longevity the game offers. We'll see once the reviews from GOG purchasers come in.
