Rosco120: how did we get from "Good Old Games" to Games that aren't even finished yet?
Because we all know, you can't sell both. You CAN'T! It's just not possible and one must be upheld at the exclusion of the other. We can only sell one type of game!

JMich: In 2011, GOG signed EA Games. They released a few games without their expansions. People complained GOG was selling incomplete games.
In 2012, GOG changed its name to simply GOG (no longer an acronym for Good Old Games), and started releasing indie games as well. Some of those indies later received additional content, so people complained that GOG was selling incomplete games.
In 2013, GOG released its first DLC on the store. People complained GOG was selling incomplete games.
In 2015, GOG released a day 1 game with a day 1 season pass available for it. People complained that GOG was selling incomplete games.
In 2016, GOG started releasing Games in Development, after quite a few people asked for it (see all the "I already have it through Early Access, would have bought it here if it was available" comments in release threads". People complained GOG was selling incomplete games.
I assume something similar must have happened in 2014 as well, but can't think of what it was off the top of my head. No knowledge of it happening before 2011, since I wasn't here.
Edit: The DLCs were in 2013, not 2014. Now to see what the "Incomplete games" of 2014 was about.
Oh, so what you are trying to say is that gamers today will overreact and complain about anything?
Hrm... no, I think the "it's either sell only old games or only unfinished games" is simply more reasonable...
