The Community Wishlist is one of the things that makes GOG.com tick, because no matter what, we're always working hard to listen and deliver. Whether it's games, website features, or GOG Galaxy development - the Community Wishlist is always the first place we look, and it's proven time and time again to be our favorite bargaining chip on the quest for new games and a better GOG.com. With just a tad over one million wishlist votes fulfilled, we want to take this opportunity to look at just a few of the wishes we got to take on.





Out of all the games in the world, several stand out as most highly requested. <span class="bold">System Shock 2</span> at 36,000 votes was one of our first major conquests - this is the game that really paved way for the most fantastic retro releases and, back when we needed it most, showed how much demand and excitement there can still be for the classics. Who knows, perhaps there is more legendary horror lurking right around the corner, hackers.
<span class="bold">The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind</span> at 25,000 votes just joined our gang alongside the earlier Elder Scrolls titles and more Bethesda goodness - but that's not all the wishlisted games, not by a long shot. With your help we checked off the <span class="bold">X-Wing</span> and <span class="bold">TIE Fighter</span> series, <span class="bold">DOOM</span> & <span class="bold">Quake</span>, <span class="bold">Sam &amp; Max Hit The Road</span> and way, way more.





Bit by bit, we're improving GOG.com - adding new features, and changing things up. Across the years we've added and [url=https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/add_linux_versions_of_games]Linux support (and then changed the Linux icon) to your games, introduced little things like update notifications, [url=https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/change_log_in_game_library] change-logs, and the ability to mark your games as completed (and many other tags). The community wishlist was also one of the many reasons we began working on GOG Galaxy.





There's still a lot of work ahead of us, and there are a ton of things in progress: we're still hunting for more, and more, and more classics, we're working on making GOG Galaxy the best gaming client you've ever used, and we're still actively seeking a specialist who can hook us up with some more time (a few hours per day would be nice) to do all that. All of this, while we continue to be a DRM-free store today, tomorrow, and forever!





The community wishlist is a great way for you to keep us aware of your needs, and it's an equally powerful tool for us to react, and to prioritise the future. So if there's a game you've always wanted, a great idea for the site, or something that's been bugging you for ages - don't hesitate, make a wish or cast your vote. It might just become our next big project.

PaveMentman: If you two are referencing mainly to "regional-pricing" alongside few other pricing-related variants, they were simply things GOG.com-team had to apply mainly both due laws and make contracts with publishers.
Either GOG.com would have abided with these necessary changes, or other than not having these games for sale in the first place, we'd might have GOG.com going out of business due law-suits and such (E.G. any type and sort of tax-evasion is utmost serious-offence almost anywhere in the Tellus / Earth).

GOG.com-team already is using a semi-loophole by giving you the the credits to your personal "Difference-wallet", so in the end everyone pays the same price technically.

But this is a "dead-horse"-topic(s) that many people seem to refuse educate themselves about (even though they're pretty much basics of any consumer-knowledge nowadays; granted, not all schools teach these things to less than 15-years-old kids; also granted that I personally started educate myself about business-world when I was 6-years old, to which I blame my single-parent-mother and farmer / entrepreneur-father of mine, alongside of course all the business-management-simulation-video-games...)...

Avogadro6: So, let's say I want to educate myself... which laws are you referring to and what do regional prices have to do with tax evasion?
Definitely don't bite.

The GP is probably right about blaming it on the contracts though. Publishers usually don't like to bite the distributors just because the distributors might demand more to carry their products in the future.
Thanks GOG for being the best alternative to Steam and providing access to so many amazing old games. I came relatively late to the gaming field, having been limited for years by hardware and finances, so I'm very glad to be able to play old games that came out during my teenage years ('90s and early '00s) that I didn't get a chance to try.

Please continue to be amazing!
Let's see...

wishes added: 0, wishes voted: 76

wishes fulfilled from all your votes: 11

so around 15%

Not bad since there are a lot of "wishful thinking" votes in those 76 wishes, like the RoTK games or Midwinter.




Congrats, GOG :)

I had 53 wishes and 5 have been granted.

Morrowind, which is my fav game EVAR counts in my view, as TEN.

Those are pretty decent odds!
Congrats! Impressive numbers, at least from a global point of view (beside some bad taste left by manipulating and "interpreting" some wishlist entries). But unfortunately for me as a Linux user things don't look that good, wishes voted: 218, wishes fulfilled: 11. Still a long way to go and a lot of work to do. ;)

Trilarion: Sure it's PR news. They are a company, not our friends. And often enough they indeed ignored the community or did even work against it. For example the regional prices or the very late support of Linux after endless years of discussion or the poor functionality of the website. Update notifications were screwed for a long time and still are not perfect since there is no browseable history of recent updates of personal game libraries. Uh, and they killed the game shelf as we knew it.

But overall I really like that they actually have a community wishlist, even if they ignore it quite often, but at least I can formulate my wish and see how popular it is. Also I really like that at least and at last they fullfilled quite a number of wishes. So all in all it is not so bad and actually could be much worse. I don't feel like being cheated on although I would like for them to do things faster and better too.

This news is actually okay. Better than no communication at all and somewhat true even. I think everybody knows that this doesn't mean any real actual improvement now. But it's still nice to remember all that years.

It's a pity they aren't better and faster, but well, they are what they are..
Well said, couldn't say it better (except for the update notifications which are still broken or at least unreliable ;P).

Trilarion: When they were smaller they definitely had more human features, like a good friend. They have become more professional over the years.
Only partially. The number of game releases during the last months is just overwhelming. :) These people on GOG do an awesome job. Unfortunately I cannot say that about the technical team. Look at the website with it's complicated user interface, look at the news announcements (has there been any without a broken or wrong link lately?), look at promos with missing discounts, wrong numbers, ... Even the payment hasn't been spared by bugs lately. These are only examples, but I would not call that professional. Words like testing and quality control seem to be unknown on GOG, sadly.

well technicaly, every game you put up is someone's wish :P
Hot damn, just snagged the updated vers of System Shock, Dl'd and ready to install!
Thanks a ton gog for not abandoning abandonware! ;^P
long road behind, even longer ahead
carry on
My wallet will never be the same ever since the first day I discovered GOG. There is a special terabit hard drive especially for my collection. I have enjoyed not having to fire up my ancient laptop just to be able to play so many of the games I was able to play. This allows my children to try out "those old games" I have played so long ago. Most have aged well. Thank you GOG for trying so hard to bring back LEGALLY the older (and newer) classic play styles. With the struggle to try and keep up with modern gaming forcing people to purchase the next custom built rig just to play a video game, GOG hearkens us back to what made me a gamer for life.
Keep up the slow and steady pace though. My wallet cannot keep up with you!

Could not have said it better. My son is now hooked on older games that he would not give the time of day to. With what is available here at GOG he doesn't even want to get games for the PC anywhere else.
and here's to one million more!
