Are you keeping count?


Hey watchers, we're celebrating! Our <span class="bold">Twitch</span> channel recently reached 40,000 followers and we want to say "thank you" in the most appropriate way. So get yourselves comfortable and brew a cauldron of your favorite hot beverage, because we're taking you with us: it's a 40-hour streaming marathon, with 40 games, plenty of streamers, and 40 giveaways.

The marathon is already underway but don't worry if you've missed some games - it will keep going until Saturday, 6AM UTC.
Tune in now for another round of Planescape: Torment streaming with developer Colin McComb, starting today, at 5PM UTC.
Also keep an eye out for a multiplayer stream of Project Zomboid, on Friday, 9AM and Dear Esther: Landmark Edition on Friday, 5PM.

40 games in total will participate in our celebratory marathon, including Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Doom, Thief II, System Shock 2, Theme Hospital, Turok, and FTL.
Each game will have a copy given out by its streamer so make sure to drop by for a chance to try them out yourself.


Now go stock up on snacks and eye-drops, and join us for our special <span class="bold">Twitch</span> stream!

HunchBluntley: I don't know what to tell you. I just disabled Flash (Firefox, Win 8) and loaded GOG's Twitch channel and it defaulted to HTML5, played no problem. I don't even have a Twitch account, either.
I assume you use NoScript or similar? I had to whitelist a bunch of semi-random domains to get Twitch to work properly, back when I first started using it, and occasionally have to temp-enable a few more (via trial and error) to get other, less-frequently-used (by me) site features -- such as search -- to work. Maybe that's got something to do with your problem?

Yup, a local friend of mine did a test for me over the phone and he disabled Flash, restarted and got Twitch to work with HTML5 without an account, but I found another friend that also couldn't get it to work as well. :/

I do use NoScript but have all necessary subresources allowed as well as in RequestPolicy, cookies etc. I may try a fresh browser test profile with no addons just to eliminate that out of the equation tomorrow though.

Yup, I read that earlier today too. Perhaps they don't have it deployed to everyone yet or something. :/

Sorry to hear. Yes, Twitch deployed the HTML5 player last August and I do remember you could select between Flash and HTML 5 as the blog post above shows. Tho this button is long gone for me which is why I assumed the rollout was done completely. Took them long enough after all.

This is very misleading and unfair promotion as your original post fails to mention its a Raffle for a copy (I assume just 1 copy) given out to enter requires a Twitch account with access to chat group using 'key word' during competition time which happens for a short period of time alas most people will miss out. Together with people having issues watching it.

For the record, I'm not upset at GOG over my problems being able to watch Twitch and if I miss out on anything, I consider it my own loss and responsibility to figure out how to participate in whatever they offer. To be clear however, I am only applying that standard to myself and not suggesting everyone else should feel the same way.
