Finally GOG will launch a new digital client to compete STEAM, GamersGate, Origin and Impulse !
No DRM, no regional pricing or limitation, with goodies, new games and old ones altogother.
I had a dream...

Au contraire. I actually recognized that first commercial's music bed, and it is from Apple's GarageBand! I only know this because I listen to this technology podcast with an <i>ever</i> so slight Macintosh bias that uses this exact bed, albeit the short version of said bed, for the Chit Chat Across the Pond segment.

And that's a roundabout way of wildly speculating that Mac support has finally come to GOG.com, albeit in an extremely limited manner (possibly even the DOSBox and/or ScummVM games only at first). Especially since GOG.com almost always tends to bag on Steam's DRM, maybe DRM-free gaming and cross-platform gaming will finally merge and coexist peaceably.

Well, you are right. I might be just over-zealous fan but I think it's a bit unfair to call GOG hypocritical when all of their standard catalogue is not priced based on region and only 1 "special" game has to be sold with different prices.
I agree too, it wasn't you, who came with blue coins comparsion.
I also have to state I like GG and blu coins. :-)

i dont know what they did after witcher 2's launch, but i remember when i preordered it, they offered the difference in price between $ and € as credit to buy more games without actually paying. so i think the balance of pricing was kept

Too bad about the continuity error: guy putting on gloves, guy putting on helmet with bare hands...

Great humouristic criticism on Gamersentrance (Gamersgate) and their annoying "blue coins"-system. Another pain-in-the-ass rip-off is Steam, but hey, their sales are awesome sometimes.
It'll be tough to compete with that ...

I HAVE AN AWESOME HAT... I am working on the rest of it. :-)

"Also, at least two of the speculations i've seen in this thread about our releases next week are correct"

Not too enigmatic if someone like me can solve it :P

Damn you! Got it now. :-)

Steam: CHECK
Gamersgate: CHECK

"Cake-eating customers", eh? ...
It might be a reference to "the cake is a lie" a.k.a. one of Portal's catchphrases.
The retail copies of Valve games were published by Electronic Arts.
Their (america only) retail-web-shop was called Origin and is now also offering games digitally.

So Origin is the next I guess...

I'm enjoying these, it's fun to see GOG poke fun at other DD services. Remember when Sega and Nintendo or Windows and Mac would make fun of each other? Or how older titles would have all kinds of jokes about other games and gaming companies? I love that.

Good commercials.

Muy bonito y todo, pero, ¿para cuándo los juegos en español? Porque es muy bueno que sus juegos no se incluya DRM y el estúpido bloqueo regional, pero de que me servirá comprar juegos en GOG si vienen en inglés y no en español. En ese aspecto GOG debe mejorar mucho, porque no tiene gracia jugar juegos en inglés si tienes la posibilidad de tenerlo en español, y que lo tengan en cuenta, porque es importante que los juegos sean multi idiomas.

Look GOG is not responsible for what languages a game is available in no more then any other store or retailer, that is the developer and publishers job and in the case of GOG's current library it's not really possible unless there were versions of that game done in multiple languages since that would require the publisher to go back and rewrite the entire game's text and no publisher in their right mind are going to bother with 10 to 20 year old games and if there are versions that are done in a different language then it's the publishers responsibly to supply them to GOG pending they can even find copies of those versions.

Piss poor Spanish version:

Mira GOG no es responsable de los idiomas que un juego está disponible en no más de cualquier otra tienda o minorista, que es el desarrollador y el trabajo de los editores y en el caso de la biblioteca actual GOG en realidad no es posible a menos que hubo versiones de que el juego realizado en varios idiomas, ya que requeriría el editor que volver y reescribir el texto de todo el juego y el editor no en su sano juicio se va a molestar con 10 a 20 juegos al año de edad y si hay versiones que se hacen en un idioma diferente a continuación, es el editores responsable para suministrarlos a GOG espera que incluso se puede encontrar copias de esas versiones.
