RedRagan: Because when that comment keep appearing on other unrelated threads like a spam it's getting annoying. Can we just focus on this game first and not the current forum politic? He sounds very American with that post. Very similar with people who complain about Trump or Biden on every comment section ever.
well, it's a way to state how one feels about GOG and a way to let know they are boycotting, which is the point. Many other comments might be repetitive but there's no explicit forum rule about it. I don't think that someone saying they are not buying that game here is so unrelated like discussing politicians or less repetitive than "instabought". You can just scroll down. I think the point is many of us are defensive of GOG, but many who are boycotting also are and are doing it precicely because they care.

With that logic everytime there's a GOG related problems then it's okay to post it all over the forum? Also what's wrong with saying "Instabought!" just because liking a game so much and declaring it online on related thread is considered bad now? Gaming is supposed to be fun and provoking mind. But this neverending gaming politic is mind numbingly tiresome and been going on since 1980s!

Like that famous words "Get a room!"

mrkgnao: Would have bought the game. Instead, instaboycotted.

Dogmaus: I understand it's a repetitive comment
Actually it's not. It's only the second such comment I have made since beginning the boycott (1/1/21), and the first one (Cardaclysm, about a month ago) was downvoted as well. That's because I only post about games I would surely have bought, and I rarely buy games on release.

Actually, I I kind of like it that the posts are downvoted --- it means they are not ignored, and even if one goglodyte gets curious and learns of the boycott this way, it was worth the effort. Still, thanks for your post.

mrkgnao: Actually it's not.
I didn't mean from you specifically :)
"No achievements, no Linux, such language/DLC/soundtrack" comments are going to be repetitive but it can't be helped if one has to point out something. So are instabuy, oh no another smartphone app, oh no another roguelike again comments, but they don't get downvoted.
Saying that one is boycotting a GOG release they would have otherwise bought is different from someone coming here to say bait like GOG is bad Steam is better. And yes, anyone can downvote the hell out of any post for what it's worth. Thank you for having mantained MaGog for everyone here for a long time.

yes, why not, if the poster feels they need to. You can read and move on. This was not all over the furum. It's on this game forum page and it's being said that there's no intention to buy it.

Nothing. But you said "Because when that comment keep appearing on other unrelated threads like a spam it's getting annoying". So do many other comments like instabought. Are you going to downvote them as well? Well, you can of course. Why is one ok and "not buying" is so annoying?

RedRagan: But this neverending gaming politic
The main point with GOG was to be a DRM free store. And now we have games with DRM elements in them. The forum is old and inadeguate and needs to be fixed by the community with scripts. The optional - but not so optional if you want fresh updates because the installers are often behind - client still doesn't have Linux and is even worse than the first version - it can't even show what the last bought game is. You are the only one saying politics and making names of politicians. I'm not boycotting but I had to open my eyes to the fact that GOG is just another business. Their sister company CD PROJEKT RED releasing an unfinished buggy mess for the full price of a AAA title with DRM exclusive content on GOG, also present in No Man's Sky. They announcing a game and then removing it making up excuses - very bad marketing and communication skills at least. Games not receiving updates in years that are available elsewhere, with no achievements or extras available elsewhere, but for the same price or higher. There's many things here to be unsatisfied with and I don't see how it would be a leftist or conservative thing to be disillusioned or complain.

I do not understand what exactly the problem is. mrkgnao felt the need to say something. A few others, me included, felt it fell into a pattern of a small number but very repetitive people who complain excessively (pixel art, various boycotts, allows too many pronouns, makes you think, ...).

mrkgnao is of course allowed to say so. But freedom of speech goes both ways and you might have to accept that others register their displeasure of what you said. And as long as this is happening in an unobtrusive manner (like using the small button for that exact purpose), it's fine.
There's a subforum for the game at https://www.gog.com/forum/raji_an_ancient_epic but the gamecard doesn't actually point to it.
