I know what you mean (I grabbed Morrowind & Oblivion for around £7 on disc - the UK "digital" prices are £28 usually 50% 'discounted' to £14 and missing those physical goodies like foldout maps, etc). That's not a GOG specific issue though as prices on Steam & Humble are the same (the publisher sets both the base price + maximum discount level all round). But then that's why as mentioned I have no hesitation in picking up retail disc versions on Ebay of many games, especially of above mentioned stuff like Heretic / Hexen that's been sitting on the wish-list for years and I'll end up feeding the WAD files into GZDoom anyway (that GOG doesn't package).

I've noticed as far back as two years ago that something is seriously wrong with those release texts. Back in the Enigmatic T era, we'd get announcement essays that just blew the official ad blurb out of the water. And it went downhill very rapidly once T left. The essays grew ever shorter until we're now left with two lines of "Game X is out now DRM-free on gog.com. This is a good gaems, buy it!"

Also agree on your point that they seem unaware of what they're actually releasing, as evidenced by instances like the disastrous Omnibus launch (was it Omnibus?) where half the features that were advertised on the game page were missing and your were left wondering whether they ever bothered to actually play the game in question.

That reminds me I should try to install my decade-old copy of NwN 2 I have cross-loaded as dvd ISO images onto my optical-driveless laptop running Windoze 10 (which apparently will accept a virtual image as a disc-in-a-drive). I bought three (or more) copies at launch, but never got past the first dragon before events dictated that I would have to delay my gaming for a while. (I kept one copy.)

I see less classics, and I am guessing it's due GOG already having many of the most popular/easiest to get the rights for ones here already.

Lately it's mostly sims/VNs and other casual fare....with a few other genres sprinkled in. They also reject games that have a decent KS/preorder following and interest for apparently no real reason whatsoever.

This week sure didn't seem very "rut-ish" to me.
