ZFR: If other publishers pull their movies from GOG too, we'll be in serious trouble indeed.
If the "Bronies" and the "Indy game" movies are removed then Gog is officially done for...
There is a risk but I would say its probably not going to happen.
it could, but it won't
what will kill GOG however is some of the policies they continue to do in regards to patching and site design.
and their frankly bizzare and sometimes jaw droppingly strange curation, and the slow down of "classic" releases.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about some people vocally withdrawing their movies, I'd worry about Mike Pondsmith revoking the Cyberpunk 2020 license for abysmal business conduct.

Yeah, OK, solutions. Solutions. How are we going to fix this.

A month long sale with all of GOG's proceeds going to the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Trans Justice Funding Project and the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund.

That may be a good point to start.



Also, if all that transphobic shit these last months was all coming from the same social media person, it's fairly obvious the guy wants to ruin you folks wholesale. Transfer the guy to website and forum tech support, it's not like he could fuck this up any more than it already is.

You jokers may be laughing at a few movies being pulled, but remember Polytron also pulled out of GOG.

I remember it well.

We lost thousands of games that day.

They sell the Indiana Jones movies here?
GOG should just stop using Twitter (or give the responsibility to someone else). They are obviously not able to inform themselves about the hashtags they use. And this time they really fucked up.

Vainamoinen: /edit: Found it. Oh. Oh god. Just. Fucking. WOW. Jesus Melania Christ, you really fucked it up this time. Why why why why why why why why why why. These people are fighting for their right to be recognized in the face of a 100% fascist regime. Have an inch of respect for god's sake.
Really? People use the same hashtag as other things for different reasons you know.

Just because one bad group of people uses the WountBeErased, (which are USA based anyway) doesn't mean firstly everyone knows of them and secondly it doesn't lock that hashtag to them.

Fez isn't "just Fez".

It sold millions every day. It kept GOG afloat.

Now it's gone, they can't even afford a proper web designer.

PoppyAppletree: You might want to see the garbage fire thread ("stop caving to the mob").

As for publishers, it might happen. Linko's lack of presence suggests disciplinary action over this, which would suggest GOG is taking this as a serious threat to their company. If publishers do pull games, we at least know that our libraries won't be affected.
That makes zero sense, because if GOG really gave a shite they'd hire people that know how to do PR.

True, we may have to go with the samson option, and merge with EA.

Everyone should just stop using Twitter. It serves no purpose other than to cause problems. And "hashtags" are a horrible thing that should never have been created.

Also GOG's social media/advertising/whatever needs to stop with the insane nonsense they've been doing.

Yes really. It was deliberate. Look up the tweet.
