Few things shout "I'm in the wrong" quite as loudly as trying to bypass or suppress open discussion.

I messaged ponczo_ yesterday, but obviously he doesn't care. He only cares to issue a ban to people who are not on the left side of the political spectrum. The negative reputation for both accounts still sits at -5, despite having so much posts downvotes. It is obvious that this is the Gog's wrongdoing. They can't stand the exposure that doesn't have a positive context, so they are on a campaign to lock the thread, and they will use these two a counts as the excuse to do so. They will justify it with the usual bureaucratic bullshit: "The thread got derailed. We must lock the thread."

Uuuuhhhhh...

Hello, BASED department?

On this bit: that is normal.......one can only lose 5 rep per 24 hour period, no matter how many posts of theirs go low rated
As for the rest: I say/think we should move on and continue as usual with the thread topic

Ok, let us stay positive, and keep the thread going.

Let's talk about something nice. Tell us in the comments what are your favourite reasons for boycotting Gog. Are you on full boycott, on partial boycott, or just supportive towards the others who are boycotting it? Stay positive, and smile more. :-) And keep the boycott going. :-)

Joker: I like this guy

Comments? Is this YT, then? ;)

Silliness aside, some of mine are: the "subtle" ideology pushing in some game releases/sales/contests/etc, the state of the forums(modding/bugs/etc), several attempts at releasing mostly online only games on a DRM-free site, the Devotion incident

I'm mostly supportive.....though I have reduced spending(I admit this is in part due to finances) and sometimes do a temp boycott every now and then when GOG pulls something stupid(which seems to happen with more frequency as the years go on).

There are more than three means for boycotting. Some of which incur actual financial losses on boycotted party. I chose that one.

As for reason... They allowed cannibalism/pedophilia on storefront, that's is my main concern.
See their public agenda listed here: https://www.gog.com/work
"We’re here to make a difference in how you buy and play your games – by giving you a hand-picked selection of fresh titles and all-time classics, by acting on our belief that you own the things you buy, and by demonstrating time and again just how much we care about gamers."
If they indeed hand-picked the stuff which is explicitly illegal in WHOLE civilized world - they're beyond redemption.

Negative reputation is limited. You can only lose 6 points a day.

FYI: I have contacted a forum mod to request the recent spam posts be deleted.

They're obviously by the downvoters or friendly to such since they aren't downvoted.

It's good occupational therapy.

Hitting the red button keeps some truly deranged individual(s) busy and off the streets.

I am on full boycott since before I found this thread.

Though I did back the System Shock remake kickstarter project in mid-2016 and chose to receive my digital rewards on GOG, so I'm guessing Krogan32 would probably argue that I'm not boycotting because I will be receiving my already paid-for rewards on GOG once the project finishes, and that those sales are supporting GOG. The alternative was to receive them on Steam, which I was/am definitely less interested in.

When I was still a paying customer, I was already quite annoyed with GOG for years regarding various issues, for example:
- The heavy pushing of Galaxy, which I want no part of
- Hiding the offline installers (which as far as I'm concerned are the main game installers) behind extra clicks and referring to them as "backups"
- Adding needless bloatware (i.e. Galaxy) to the offline installers
- Making the installation of the bundled Galaxy bloatware in the offline installers opt-out instead of opt-in (that, IMO is quite the hostile move to get people to accidentally install it as they click past the installation and miss the checkbox, which arguably makes it a Trojan Horse, practically if not technically)
- The removal of perfectly good (and even helpful) reviews
- The lack of a clear definition of what DRM and DRM-free mean, from GOG's point of view
- Using web frameworks that inherently drop support for older browsers (I know many people don't agree with me on this one, but I fully agree with the idea of graceful degradation)
- Introducing needless bloat on the site such as the auto-playing videos
- Not prioritizing real issues on the site, for example that the selected sort options reset between visits, the lack of an unvote option in the community wishlist
- There's more, but most of the rest are very minor annoyances

After all the controversy around GWENT, Cyperpunk, Epic and Devotion I was essentially fed up with their BS, so I stopped buying games and movies on GOG (though to be fair, I hadn't bought a lot of movies anyway).

Their recent actions gave me the impression that GOG is becoming extremely reluctant to be forthcoming with their customers, and that they want to try and control public opinion without interacting with it, which is a very unhealthy and anti-consumer stance. For this reason, what it would take to gain me back as a paying customer is to prove to me that they are capable of actively seeking feedback and maintaining an open dialogue (i.e. stop talking to us and start talking with us, at least to some minimal extent). That, and that they actually try to resolve in a constructive, honest and open way some of the negativity that has accumulated within the community (it doesn't necessarily have to be related to the issues I listed above). The way they handled the Hitman blunder after the fact was a small step in the right direction, but not far enough to sway me (and it shouldn't have happened in the first place, anyway).

So if I have to designate a "favourite reason", I suppose the low volume of of open communication would be it.

EDIT: Minor typo fix.

It would be extremely awesome if while pushing Galaxy they simultaneously made it work. Because Galaxy support is pure f miserable. They fuck up community two way - they push Galaxy to those who don't want to use it and they support it in such a miserable way, that people who would like to use it, have crashes and disconnects (esp. with sizeable games collection and/or using plugins to other platforms).

To be fair, the Fallout games were among the first games GoG has sold...

Such a waste of time, but this keeps the threads and the demands up. Seems like someone has real issues with opnions other than their own. I can only laugh when I see such „people“ spinning free.
