Except he didn't point to anyone in particular..

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

Nah, it's not him.. The guy I'm thinking about was on a serious crusade around the Steam forums ; )
And he was not the only one..

Please, stahp. I can take evil, I can take stupidity, but that level of evil stupidity makes my brain melt.

...and thinks it doesn't stink. :P

How is GOG not being a distant second to Steam not common sense? Of course it is. That's why GOG keeps adding features like Galaxy and the profiles, to try and close the gap, because that's what a majority of consumers want (whether GOG superfans like it or not). Their DRM-free stance will always hold them back though, because what would sell another client to the masses would be exclusive games or online features, both of which are likely impossible unless CDP have the balls to make Cyberpunk GOG exclusive, which they don't.

I had to stop reading half way through because my bull shit meter was so far off scale that the pointer indicating the highest number possible went slightly beyond that number and broke off. Once its fixed I won't be back to read the rest.

lol, thank you. :D

He's more right than he is wrong. He says straight up that Steam is so bad that there's no excuse for CDPR's failure to build a better client, and he's spot on. CDPR fumbled on the goal line, because it's management is somewhere between mediocre and piss poor.

I'll still buy some games here because I hate browsing Steam, but it's a shame that CDPR has done so little with the resources it's had at it's disposal.

Tis exactly. I believe some would liken the post to what they would call "concerned trolling". Seriously, there have always been Anti-GOG folks around, most notably on Steam. Now there is nothing wrong with preferring your platform of choice 100%. But when someone has a lot of prejudice and bias towards an opposing object, their opinion can hardly be considered objective, and is thus not worth bothering with especially when it goes off-tangent like that.

Also, there is no such thing as a one fits all category for everyone. Each gamer has to decide for themselves what's important for them in a gaming platform and pick what they would love to have.

If someone asks me, what I like, is the ability to simply download the game, no fuss, no muss, no DRM and simply pop it in and play. And then, for the game to be updated to the latest version within a set window at least. GOG has more or least delivered these, and a failure of these will be where their chief flaws lie for me. Like any missing updates for games, and a wobbly structure in their game management, where the community had to haul them over for the putting Galaxy into the installer bit. Now it's alright, but you'd need to manually select the classic installers.

For others, it could be a lot different.

Now talking about the stats a bit, in the "6 members went to the GOG HQ" thread, GOG showed out statistics where they (GOG) are growing reliably, not in danger of shutting down anytime soon, but, they will still need to get larger for the DRM-loving Triple AAA companies to agree to release their games here Day 1 Drm-free, instead of some future Month/Year X time somewhere down the line. I think I would trust the company's own proof in comparison to someone pulling stats out of their ass.

Speculating about the future, I believe the release of Cyberpunk 2077 will be the big blast, where we will really see where GOG is going, one way or the other. Till then, we will enjoy what we have.

I think he gets some shit right, I think he gets some shit wrong.

Hello, I don't think I deserve to be low rated for bringing this up. I was just worried where my money went and he made some valid point, so I was just wondering does he got right all along.

I can't see these pointless points (using a script for that) so I really couldn't care a nickel about that, however, when you write something like this...

"I think this guy has disturbingly good point - for gog users. I'm personally here for it's store, and not for Witcher series, but is there any chance this man is wrong?"

... you don't think this shows others here that you lack any critical thinking against these kinds of bs/bias?!?


That said, I think GOG would absolutely be more positively perceived IF they dared to make their client open source'd...
