Indies, great! I hope they also get Spiderweb's games here.

Probably due to article publishing dates vs. GOG announcement schedules, Gamespot is big enough to generate additional buzz as well, probably helps to have extra eyes visiting tomorrow.

I must be honest, this:

"Buying a dozen games, if you never play them, means that you're just a cow to be milked by the industry."--Marcin Iwinski

pissed me off.

I have at least 3 dozen GOG games I never intented to play. I bought them here because I wanted to support GOG. But apparently GOG is milking me like a cow.

Guess what, I'm not doing it anymore. This will probably reduce my actual purchases to nearly zero. And I sure as hell won't rebuy Trine now (which I thought when I saw the thread).

He's referring to the people who buy the megapacks that include games they'll never touch, NOT people who buy games for a reason. How many of us have had to buy a pack on Steam because buying that one game you want on its own is more expensive?

Oh GOG, milk me like one of your French girls!

...that didn't come out right..

B-but I have all those game D:

I think the most interesting thing I gleamed from this interview is that it seems they will be increasing the flow of games that are released to the service. 2/week is likely gone.

Well, what exactly about that statement isn't accurate? You're not actually consuming anything. But the industry needs milk, and you're supplying it. I know it seems like the statement has a negative connotation, but I think it's possible to look at it positively if you can consider it simply under the light that you're providing resources without consumption.

I have bought plenty of games I haven't played, here and on Steam, and I definitely would be okay looking at myself as an industry cow until I get around to playing them. Luckily we can spare the few bucks it takes to buy cheap GOG games, and support their cause. I even got a shirt and mouse pad from this site, just because I want to show my support in those ways as well.

There is one thing I view as negative in our purchasing habits, and it's the fact that we are probably supporting some games that don't deserve to be supported. I know I've bought a lot of garbage, again from both GOG and Steam, and I think that's a bit irresponsible of me. It's a conflict of beliefs, I guess, supporting GOG at the same time that I may have quality issues with some of their products.

Like Foxhack said, I think he meant something a little different - you are buying those games with a purpose in mind. I think he was talking about people who simply buy up large numbers of games on sale (in bundles or not) ... simply because they are on deep discount with no other purpose than that since more than likely they'll never get to play all the games they bought. If you never intended to play them anyway, but bought them for another purpose - especially if that purpose is supplying milk to GOG :) - then you don't fall under the negative connotation that phrase may imply.

Still probably not the best thing for the owner of digital store to discourage. :) I've got (for me) a pretty large back catalogue of games from GOG.com - though one never knows, one day I might get to some of those games ... :)

There's got to be a porno title similar to that:)

I already own Trine and Machinarium on a *ahem* competing digital distribution platform. I will, however, preorder the everliving hell out of The Legend of Grimrock.

Now if only GOG could get Lucasarts or perhaps the old SSI catalog. Also that one game. What was it called again? Station Shock... 2?

Pretty stupid statement to make considering a lot of people rebuy their old games here just to have a digital version even though they already played the retail releases to death.
Maybe GOG doesn't want money. I guess, in a way, they are looking out for the consumers. The money we save could be used for a better purpose.

It's true, gamers as a group, and me individually, have often supported attitudes and stuff we probably should not have,

Actually, he was making a cheap shot at Steam deals. GOG can't do them because it is lacking the massive user base of Steam. A 75% sale only works if you have hundreds of different games millions of diverse customers. GOG can't do that (yet), their "GOG gems" are the smartest and best they can do in that way.

GOGs user base is massively different than that of Steam. Steams is a massive blob of people with all kind of preferences, while GOG has a much smaller, but much more dedicated fanbase. I bought just about all Eidos games on release for full price, because of support for GOG "fighting the good fight". Not because I had any need to play those games. I've been most of them twice anyway. And I'm not in a minority here.

Instead of acknowledging that and focus on their services (which includes are very awesome community, btw) for the "higher prices" they charge, they took a cheap shot at "stoopid gamers".

Usually TET is doing a decent job at marketing, but where was his mind when he approved those answers...

Edit: Oh, and how does this statement add into the "buy one more game for a bigger percentage drop" they had running? Jeez, that sentence, especially highlighted like this, will cost GOG sales. And I'm not talking about mine....
