Sadly, this is the future - filled with neverending early access, first day DLCs and other inhuman devices.

The Comfy Chair!?

Ooooh! Now, Cardinal - the rack!

It happened when GOG started using time machines to bring old lost games back from the past. At some point someone suggested "hey, if can go back in time, why not do the opposite as well?". TET was of course the first to rise and oppose the idea, he resigned when people did not listen to him. And now, several years later, GOG is proceeding with this insane plan.

Yep. Someone fell asleep while operating the flux capacitor. For some reason progress is going backwards.

And I can't find the Sports Almanac. Go ask Griff if he's seen it.

That's the game forum, that's outlaws land so no rule is applied there.
That actually depends of Barry's schedule.

Maybe it stands for "Good Open Games" now.

Awesome +1.

I looking forward to their incomplete games of 2017...

In 2014, GOG delved into the pre-order exclusives business with Age of Wonders 3, so people complained that GOG was selling incomplete games.

Thank you. I knew I was missing something.

What the...
That looks like a Anime version of Yoko Tsuno!

Interstella 5555, essentially a 14 tracks long music video by Daft Punk.

Thank you. That blue skin was confusing me. Smurf aliens aren't that common. :)

Don't worry, soon they'll rename it to GuG = Good Unfinished Games. TBH I don't mind them as I'm sure some people buy those, personally I will never buy an unfinished game unless it's a developer I truly trust.

More or less because the gaming industry has changed significantly since the days of "old games" and whether us individual gamers like the direction things are going with individual issues and practices like this, consumers are the ones who are making it happen by way of their spending habits. When companies try out a new business strategy like "Early Access" for example, and people buy into it over and over again to the point where that business model is confirmed profitable to the companies that do it, then they do more of it. Everything we see happening in gaming nowadays is a direct result of what consumers find acceptable in numbers that are large enough to confirm and justify doing it on the bottom line of a spread sheet.

Companies either adapt to this, or they are pushed into an ever decreasing niche market, or out of the market altogether. See Desura and Shinyloot for details.

To be honest, I don't particularly care for such industry practices myself either, and I do not support these things I dislike via spending money on them. So for example I wont ever buy Early Access games (whether they're being called that or using some other terminology like GOG is using). My wallet vote is very small however and insignificant so it wont change the industry, nor will anyone else's.

All we really can hope for is that some companies out there continue to put out gaming goods that we want to have under terms and conditions, etc. that we are comfortable with, and if they do then we'll have something out there that interests us for the exchange of money. If not, and the entire market goes in a direction we do not like and there are not really any games coming out that we're individually interested in, then I imagine one at a time we'll find something else to do with our time, or we'll play the games in our existing massive backlogs and tell campfire stories about how it was in the olden days while young punks roll their eyes at us.
