Basically I sent them an email last week asking if they would add cloud saves and chievements for Ori and the Blind Forest (I guess the achievements depend on the developer) and they surprised me today telling me that they added cloud saves. Another company would just ignore me since I am just 1 person asking for something so they don't have to listen, but they added it <3

Sorry but GOG is in the process of adding cloud saves to every single game, that has saves, in their catalogue.

Sorry for what? I asked them if they could do something and a few days after they did it. I don't know why you say sorry.

It's still nice that they replied.

That's not fully true. There is nothing stopping GOG from implementing a policy which insists that games which have Achievements on Steam shall not be sold on GOG unless & until the devs first implement Galaxy Achievements for the GOG version as well.

Yet GOG does not do that.

The GOG team will "be the best" if/when they stop allowing devs to treat GOG customers like second-class citizens by not bothering to give GOG users achievements even when the identical games on other platforms do have achievements.

In a recently published documentary, the GOG woman even said that GOG customers should get the exact same product for their money as customers on other platforms do, because GOG customers are paying the same real money as customers on other platforms do.

But GOG's refusal to force devs to abide by Achievement equality on behalf of its customers contradicts that same philosophy from the GOG woman.

Luckily so. I couldn't care less about achievements, and I want to buy games from GOG even if they don't have achievements. If you don't want to buy GOG games which lack achievements, then simply don't. Don't try to decline others from buying such games.

It is similar as demanding that GOG shouldn't sell any games that don't have French localized version (when the Steam version has). Why should all non-Frenchies, who couldn't care less about the missing language, be declined from buying the game? The same goes to a missing Linux and/or Mac version.

As I am sure someone will again come up with the "so should GOG sell games with DRM too?", I've said over and over again that it is their decision. if they feel people would buy games with DRM from GOG (instead of getting it from Steam with the same DRM) and it wouldn't hurt their profits, then go ahead. I personally don't see them doing that though as DRM-free is one of the major things that differentiates them from e.g. Steam.

That would be one way to have even less games coming to GOG for sure.

Achievements are useless on Steam, even more so on GOG. I don't think such things should be any priority to GOG, in fact I think they took a big misstep by creating Galaxy achievements in the first place, as it has really shifted the focus away from real things to nonsense.

They even have achievements listed as the most important thing in game cards these days.

Ridiculous.

I like achievements because they are fun and is true that if the game has not achievements may not buy it but,to be honest, I would prefer more languages before anything else.

GOG has a lot of work to do and they have to impove their sensitivity and their treatment of spanish people.

True, that! They even reply to general chat sometimes (i once wrote for a blue to answer concerning one game and before 1 hour passed, one actually appeared and posted)! And above all, Support! Unlike Steam's, they provide you with working solutions and sit down with you to solve the issue, persistently at that!

Nothing like GOG's service, that much is true! (only curation is too niche, grrr)

I love achievements and I think games on gog should have them if other platforms like steam have them. But again, the developers are the ones who didn't care at all.

It would look better if CD Projekt's own games would have achievements on GOG, especially when they have them elsewhere...
