An app that forces itself on you with AMD gfx drivers (bundled, not mandatory, it's connected to separate service). Primary aim seems to be to capture video from games and post them online... I never knew it has game-shopping component. Maybe because I never bothered to make an account with them. But if anything, it would be Steam reseller.
I tried to make it take screenshots of directx fullscreen for Shadwen demo. It can capture video, so capturing one frame and saving it as png should be easy, right? No such luck. Hotkeys only worked for a short time after starting the game, it couldn't connect to already running game, overlay with control panel didn't show at all... After few hours I just disabled it again and tried to forget it exists.

GOG sucks, but I keep coming back. Probably the alternatives suck more :(

bredy12: Now all I have to say about GOG is that I can see them surpassing them all just because of the community voting feature.
Never in a hundred billion years. Gog is pretty niche, it caters mostly towards older gamers and still has the focus on old games and indie stuff. Do they sell? Sure. Do they sell as much as modern AAA games? Nope. And the voting feature is more or less a placebo. gog just can't say "oh that game has 1000 votes, better get the rights to it" and they won't. I mean No One Lives Forever has a ton of votes but that game will probably never appear on gog. So how good and useful is the voting feature really?
bredy12: The community will always be happy because they directly take the most upvoted additions and add them.
Unless gog decides what people have an interest in, which has been discussed here several times when gog decided against games because "there's no interest from the public" or it's deemed to sexual or violent or whatever (see Hatred for an example) Lol. Compared to Steam and it's Community with: - Forums for every game (not "we lump all games into one forum so it becomes a mess)
- Community Guides
- Workshop
- Profile, Chat, User Groups, Curation
- Greenlight
What exactly has gog to offer for the Community? A voting feature that is largely ignored and a forum. Valve basically adds everything that gets thrown in their way and why shouldn't they? Steam is basically like your old school game store that sold all kinds of games, regardless of quality or whatever.

I have seen the option for Raptr Gaming Evolved (or whatever the hell it's called) in the list of components available when installing AMD drivers (my laptop has a Radeon GPU), but -- like you -- I never realized it had any store component. In fact, I had no idea at all what its purpose was, so I've always left it unchecked it in the install list when I updated my display drivers. (In other words, it's definitely not mandatory -- though I suppose this might vary depending on how you get your AMD driver updates.)I tried to make it take screenshots of directx fullscreen for Shadwen demo.

InkPanther: Sorry to disappoint you, but it doesn't work this way. The community wishlist may help GOG gauge interest in a given title and may be used as one of arguments during negotiations with right holders, but it doesn't dictate order in which GOG releases games. bredy12

bredy12: I have a 3 year old steam account, a raptr, an origin, a humble bundle, and there are probably more that are slipping my mind. Now all I have to say about GOG is that I can see them surpassing them all just because of the community voting feature. The community will always be happy because they directly take the most upvoted additions and add them. This makes the community a major part of the expansion of this site. Steam just adds what gives them money and EA just buys popular titles. GOG was made for the community so as long as scumbags don't find this site then GOG will be epic.
Without scumbags, this GOG won't live long. Where do you think the money come from for Steam? Scumbags. Not from honorable members or something.tfishell

What games are you wishing for?
Fun fact: Requiem: Avenging Angel and Firewatch both had over 1,000 votes.
EDIT: The pessimists are right - GOG is literally Shitler. Shut it down everyone! We don't want GOG anymore, just Steam because it already has all the games and isn't Shitler! Give up GOG, go cry yourselves to sleep for what you have done! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
EDIT2: Or perhaps both places have their pros and cons, and GOG isn't Shitler. ┬──┬◡ノ(° -°ノ)
