Bullshit. PA is still good (except that game... ehhh) and PAX kicks more butt than Chow Yun -Fat in a Butt Kicker's Convention (when he did Hard Boiled, not that silly Bulletproof Monk Chow Yun-Fat).
Anyway, I'm thinking of signing up for an account there to talk about FO3.

There are plenty of GOG supporters at the Codex. Some have e.g. created their second accounts over here to take part in the affiliation program (e.g. I always bought games as a regular Elwro beforehand.) Non-supporters are more vocal, of course.

Yes, they seem to be a strange breed over there.
It seems more than a little churlish to moan about paying for old games based on the small profit GOG and the publishers make for re-releasing these games at a reasonable price and the fact that none of that money goes to the original developers.
I have to wonder how much money in donations these hypocrites have sent to the orignal developers of all the "Abandoned" games they have downloaded over the years.
I am personally of the opinion that copyright and IP law as it stands is not fit for purpose and badly needs to be updated in order to come into line with the digital age. While I don't think it is unethical in certain circumstances, to download old software and games, it does not give me the legal right to do so.
The argument that they are only doing so because there is no legal way of obtaining this software doesn't really hold water when they are not prepared to buy it when it does get re-released. Wishing and pushing for a change in the law is one thing, breaking said law because you do not like it is quite another.

i actually quite like the idea that if gog releases an old game, every single torrent or link to it instantly vanishes from the internet.
especially if i image that the GOG staff has some sort of special agents/replicants/mutant soldiers trained only for this purpose.

Well I've never seen evidence of anything amusing originating from there but I'll grant that PAX is good and that charity thing was a definite positive. I was only really talking about the site and the shithouse game that made even the lame crap attempts at comedy on the site look merely rubbish instead of complete shit

Ah, pre-Hollywood Chow yun Fat. Now that was a force to be reckoned with. His best movie though, hands down without a fighter, has to be Tiger on the Beat. How I wish I could find a copy of that on DVD without a silly pricetag or hefty import fees.

For me, it was Hard Boiled. The Killer was awesome beyond awesome too.

And here I thought that the GOG crowd was sophisticated enough to not go into a "us vs them" mindset.
The intarwebz. The intarwebz never change.
PS: wait until you guys find out about Cleve Blakemore.

Well, when you're a kid with no job, buying games online is out of the question. :P

Oh, did you really have to?

Well, true. I've seen some GoG supporters, and of course the moaning of the annoyed is louder than that of the content. To be fair though, when the discussion there do not degenerate into bickering of old vs. new, they can actually be very informative.

But trolling is so much fun...

The Codex was a pretty good place before the departure of VD.
Sad thing is, they were right. I remember the predictions of the more extreme posters being dismissed there, and then actually coming true.

Oh god - the stupid... it burns!
