Well it still does have some islands and stuff left over.

Your're so great I don't know why GOG hasn't hired you months ago! They must be ... not intelligent enough.

All thumps up.

That being said I really wished they would see the advantage of offering localized versions and make maximizing the number of games with many languages a higher priority item on their agenda. You know it starts with displaying all available languages on the games page.

I would even pay extra for a game in my language additionally to english. So much I like it.

Thanks. The thing is I've never applied to work at GOG. Poland is quite far away from where I live.

Yes, an empire that consists of an island filled with sheep and another filled with penguins (and land mines).

Not in 2D world - you are at the same timezone :P

You mean like Rome in the late 4th century?

;-P

That's exactly what I mean;)

And consider that ACTA was their way of attempting to enforce that empirical fiat. The US may not be an empire in the classic term where they outright rule their colonies, instead they use their influence, along with with heavy artillery as needed, to get their way.

They don't need to rule over entire countries like in the old days. Now they just have to exert their influence on the ruler of a country and let him handle most of the drudge work.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure we're consuming 25% of the world's oil every day, arguably as one of the most important modern resources there's little difference between that and how old empires controlled resources, the methods may be slightly different but the end result is the same.

ACTA sucks, but it's nothing compared to the resource and pollution issues we're dealing with.

I will not make light of the pollution and resource problems but you have to realize that if ACTA passed the US would've had a near monopoly on quite a few products since ACTA basically outlawed things such as aftermarket parts for cars or generic medicines.

The method of rule does follow the classic Machiavellian method of installing a native to oversee a particular "colony" (see Hamil Karzai and Afghanistan...).

It would be great to have the original language of games available (e.g. German for the Gothic series).

Ever more odd is the fact that even though GoG belongs to a Polish company CD Projekt - there aren't any games with Polish language availible.
[as far as I know there is only one exception - Witcher 1]

Even Witcher 2 which was made and published by CD Projekt RED with Polish language availible in retail, it is not availible on GoG.

And there are other games which were published by CD Projekt in Poland [with Polish dub and subtitles], like the great Gothic series [1&2 are one of my all time favourites, 3 is not so good], but are not availible in this language version on GoG.


That is quite ridiculous.

@orcishgamer
I see that you didnt get SimonG's pun - late 4th was the dusk of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the end and I doubt that was what you meant about the USA ;]

Actually, Orcish did get the pun. Allright, I'm assuming here, but considering the usual banter on the forums and occasional pm, that green guy is smarter than he looks. And his stance towards the US is probably more reflective than yours. His nick and Avatar could very well be be a nod towards Garfield Thelonius Remington III.

You however, seemed to have missed this very crucial post by an old geezer who pretty much sums up the whole "why not more languages".

And you would be surprised how many games are released in multilanguage, but just unofficially. Check the wiki.

Yes, but in the case I am talking about, CD Projekt [owner of GoG] is the 3rd party publishing games these games in PL and is the 3rd party doing the translation, so I think at least in these cases Polish language should be availible (especially when it comes to Witcher 2 which was also produced by this company).

Hmm, if orcishgamer did get the pun - I respect his dose of self criticism regarding his own country. Not many people can do that.

Edit:
Pardon my lack of knowledge regarding various users - I am new to the forum and most of the Americans I've had contact with were very vain when it came to talking about USA.
