I remember giving away a whole bunch of System Shock 2 copies on GOG when I was drunk last year, couldn't believe when I saw the credit card details next day
Also it is a community where people can talk about old school games that they grew up playing back when they were kids.

tinyE: eating too much cheese?
There is no such thing.

As to the original question, I'll go with this previous response: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/why_is_the_gog_community_so_gosh_darn_generous/post3

I dunno but I think that generosity and kindness are traits that can be engendered by example. Just like the opposite is true... We all decide which path to take, right? But the choosing of the path is based on what we see and learn from those around us.

~yeah, probably too philosophical for this early in the morning ;-p~
Uh oh, Momo has been hanging out with the Dalai Lama again! :O

Say, that reminds me, The Dalai Lama goes into a pizza parlor and says, "Make me one with everything." *rimshot*

In real life, if you give something to a stranger out of the blue, they can -in some situations- react a bit paranoid because they might have experienced/seen/heard bad things before and can almost not believe you're actually not up to anything evil.

Here on GOG, there is an already well established culture of strangers giving things to each other without planning axe murder (I assume) or expecting anything in return. Only thing that is expected is that if you win something somewhere around here, it's seen as decent to pass on the favor to some other person and thus perpetuating the whole tradition.

I don't know what you're talking about. I never give away any games.

Don't ever read Momo1991's blog. To be fair they haven't acted on it ... yet ... to my knowledge.
