Timboli: LET GOG KNOW HOW YOU FEEL BY VOTING https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/keep_the_gog_downloader_and_keep_it_up_to_date We are up to 1681 votes now. :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite an interesting phenomenon these regular votes, and it just goes to show how easy it is to make wrong assumptions or presumptions about who comes to GOG and when, or what even motivates someone to vote for this cause ... or just to send GOG a clear message.
Most of us, and I include myself in this, would have thought the votes would have significantly tapered off quite a while ago, but there is still a steady flow happening.
I've listed some possible reasons for that previously, and I guess they still stand as viable.
And i do wonder if GOG in their wildest dreams even thought they would get so many complaining.
That's not to say I think the numbers will ever convince GOG to reverse their decision, but it might lead to some benefits elsewhere .... one can but hope. :)
Indeed those possible if not likely reasons you listed would stand. One most certainly is people coming here to find out why the program no longer works, because indeed there are assumptions about Goggers not to be made but I think some already have been.
Regardless of what some may say, the count so far is not something to be totally dismissive about, unless really not caring and hoping/counting on newcomers eventually balancing out whatever negatives this will/has translated into, such as less buying for example. Unless someone decides to come out of the woodwork and bring forth all that was asked but hasn't been forthcoming, it's all guesswork at this point. The only thing I for instance can know for sure, is that I would not take the chance to alienate almost so far 1700 customers and would fix it or find a way to, but that's me.
Would any benefit elsewhere as you suggested would be worth/lead to reconsidering a few things? That remains to be seen.
