Speak for yourself only. I originally came here for DRM-free The Witcher 1-2, not Akalabeth.

I don't say no to old classics either, as long as they are good. And DRM-free. :)

They're releasing old games at about the same rate they always have. Just now they're releasing a HELL OF A LOT more in between.

Codename Panzers: Phases 1 and 2 released recently and they are over ten years old or very nearly. Having that been said, the release of all the indie games doesn't do me anything and I just think, "Okay, nothing new for me today." Oh, Men of Valor was also released recently and its over ten years old. Raving Rabbids is almost ten.
Edit: Spelling.

Well this is going to be a riveting conversation, wake me when it reaches seven pages.

Also, who is this guy?

Well it's not "Good Old Games" anymore anyway, it's just "GOG" now. And for the most part, the problem lies with apathetic publishers.

We're still getting good old games, granted ones that might still be more obscure. My suggestion is to, now, view GOG as a store rather than a place to relive nostalgia.

BTW, what games did you have in mind? That's a good way to look at it. Most of the people asking about the old games registered back during the G.O.G. time period I think, and they probably don't check the forum often or know how tough it can be to resurrect games. So we should try to see things from their perspective.

Depends a bit where old starts. My impression is that only about one third of all releases are games originally published before say 2010, but changing the name of GOG wouldn't probably change that.

I guess that the supply of publishable good old games has thinned and that we all have to live with it. I also don't think they should rename the site. Using the known brand name is fully okay. It doesn't hurt anyone.

Too bad these shitposts will never stop though.

I'm not talking about an overall (decremental) trend. I was mostly referring to what we've seen so far in 2016, with the introduction of in-development games.

We still get older games released here, and I'm not complaining to be honest, but I do tend to agree that newer games have stolen the show as of late.

I usually speak for myself... and sometimes when I hear voices inside my head, I also speak in their name. Never said I hold the ultimate truth of things.

I can obviously see the point of people looking for not-so-ancient games here on GoG, and to be honest I'm somewhere in between the two. I mean I was all over Anno 1404 when it got here (that was a cool surprise by the way).

Well, I guess people will always find something to make a new worrisome trend of, regardless of any evidence. "Ok, we got more old games in the past year than ever before, but what about the last two weeks? GOG is really going downhill since the introduction of Early Access games!" ;)

Really, we had the same threads and complaints throughout the whole last year, despite everything, just because GOG didn't manage to offer a classical release in each and every week. They'd drop a whole bunch of highly wishlisted classics on us all at once, and the next week people on the forums would already start complaining about the lack of classics again. Add to that the people who'd like to see a classic game every week and if you give it to them, they say: "Meh, that's not the classic I was hoping for, give me another one." (People actually said that about the D&D collections, and you'd expect those to be the average "Good Old Games" veterans' wet dream.)

*sigh* I know what you mean, and it was not my intention to complain, but to point out why other people may see this as a wrong direction from their perspective. As I mentioned in my initial post, I think what we are seeing now is a natural evolution of GoG.

But, if anyone thinks GoG is going downhill by reaching out to a larger target audience, they are very much entitled to their view of things. We'll probably hear about it in future threads as well.

I, for one, have (now) said all I had to say on the matter. Thanks for listening to those who did.

Hot damn, how did I miss this? Good stuff, both retail releases I got (Polish and German) were terribly localized, can't wait to finally get the English version.

Educating pineapples is no game. Luckily the cloning machine takes care of most of it.

Where are all the games from the 19th century? Where are all the games from the 70's? Bring us the games from the 60's, 50's, 40's, 30's. GoG is really slacking...

Anything special you are looking for? Most of the really old popular-back-then stuff is already here. And regarding newer games publishers behave like shy virgins in their first night.
