When i discovered GOG about 4 years ago, and created an account for Outcast, i was pretty hyped. Good old games, newer games, games that where cencored in germany, etc. ... and no DRM (!) GOG was THE definition for modern age digital game distribution done right. I even didnt mind GOG-Galaxy (since i dont use it and its optional) ...
I didnt mind even the regional pricing thing that happened... everything was fine for me.

But then... Wolfenstein, Quake 2, ... WHAT ?!
I´m glad that i can still download my FarCry and Blood and stuff... But really ? Geolock ?
What happened to that free-spirit ?
And why do you even bring those kind of politics into that platform ? GOG isnt even stationed in germany, right ?

Why did that happened ? And how can we (the people that supported for the recent years) get our freedom back ?
Please dont do this. Getting uncensored FarCry (Blood, Ragdoll) was hughe for me, since i lost the discs over 10 years ago! And i would never had experienced "BLood" if it wasnt for GOG and its community (reviews).

Please GOG:
Open your library for everyone. Dont get toady here!

Don't forget 1 dollar doesn't equal 1 euro.
Apparently these days the dollar is way more expensive.

Back then i bought Outcast for 5.99 $ ? It was under 5 euro. And like i said - i really dont mind that "same price everywhere" thing. Really i dont.

But taking the possibility to get games that are here on the platform ?
I can buy Quake, but not Quake 2 ?
Wolfenstein has swastikas ? BIG DEAL !
And what does some people care in poland ? Why being political correct here ?

Geolock is nothing but paternalism.

The German government stops them. I don't think GOG fancies trying to skirt the law.

Without pressure from the government.

Trotzdem.
Oh... Offenbar gibts auf GOG das Spiel "Gun". Auf Youtube kann ich die Trailer sehen, hier aber nichts. Geil.
