My favourite moment would have to be when I first had access to the site. I had signed up before the public beta and was waiting for Sept anxiously. I heard through the PCGamer podcast that that was when the site was going live. I had roughly 3 or so weeks of anticipation, checking the site to see if it was live. Then, one fine day, the site was active and Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics were mine. Followed, almost immediately, by Freespace 1&2.

Buying Fallout 1 and Tactics, I got Fallout 2 for free, was the first time I had ever bought a digital game. Never before anywhere did I use a digital service. GOG took my digital virginity and I have been hanging on them ever since.

GOG, you have created a monster. Thanks for 5 glorious years. Great memories, great fun, superior experience; thank you all.

Congrats GOG for your many successes, and for being such an honest company with high principles to provide a fantastic customer experience. You guys really do get it, and I for one appreciate that a lot.

My favourite time on GOG would probably be the first few months from when I became an actual paying customer, which was about Oct/Nov 2012. I have had an account since 2009 from picking up a few game freebies but prior to last year I never really knew about GOG's core fundamentals concerning DRM and your community driven approach to running a high quality customer service oriented business. This mindset to "do what is right" and trust the customer is a huge win for me and I'll be a customer for life as a result.

I've watched many interviews on Youtube with Marcin and Guillaume to date where you guys go into detail about your background as gamers, your thoughts and feelings about what makes the best game experience for people and the resulting stance that DRM is harmful to consumers and does not prevent piracy at all and I totally agree with all of this. A few weeks ago I watched an hour long presentation given in front of a huge audience from you guys and it solidified in my mind what GOG is all about and what we can expect in the future, and that vision is something I want to and will definitely support with my wallet going forward in the battle against DRM.

One thing that really resonates with me is that every video with Marcin or Guillaume that anti-DRM stance is put out there in a thoughtful manner that comes across as being from a core belief of a human being and not just some corporate stance for mindshare. Keep putting that message out there in every interview, every video you make as it has a profound effect on people and builds trust to hear that stated over and over again from the heart and not from some script. You're on to a good thing here, and keep up the great work!

On another note, there are various threads in the forums such as some of the Linux related ones and some others that can get a bit heated at times where people have mentioned various fears about GOG throwing in the towel on DRM-free and going with DRM in the future. Of course to me such opinions and thoughts are completely baseless paranoia with no basis with which to stand on, no evidence to support such a theory. When I see videos of Marcin and Guillaume talking about DRM and their views about it individually and GOG as a company, it is a very powerful message that IMHO builds trust to people and being on Youtube can be used to help dissuade people's such irrational fears. There will always be skeptics and naysayers and they can never be fully convinced if they don't want to be, but when you guys just keep running a great business like this and putting out a positive message and reiterating your core values and fundamentals and anti-DRM stance, your words drown out the minority of skeptics and naysayers simply by your continued actions.

Again, keep putting the no DRM message out there and fighting the good fight for all of us die hard gamers!

I remember him, intresting times.

My fav moment was finding the site, buying Fallout, running the downloader, de-installing it after an unsuccesfull download, manual downloading the game without problems and than after 1 hour searching why it crashed and my retail version not i finally could play it.

I think Elenarie has the right idea about giving GOG significant constructive criticism now that they're in the big leagues (perhaps somebody more knowledgeable can comment on whether or not Elenarie's points are valid); the problem is how s/he said it, kind of dick-ishly.

Thank you GOG.com for 5 years of joy and childhood dreams.

I'm 1905 days with you and don't regret a single day - my favorite moments were the arrival of the greatest roleplay game of all time Baldur's Gate 2 and the release of The Witcher 2 DRM-free. I couldn't play The Witcher 2 for several years (due to a poor hardware configuration) but it was an instabuy. Last year I played The Witcher 2 for the first time on my new computer and I loved every single moment.

Please keep up the great work!

And me as a (European) Portuguese translator, im not even joking

The Jack Keane 2 sale was quite memorable.

We should do that again some time...

The best moment was when i found out i could play all my favourite games again and own them without DRM.

It's been a great 5 years and i sincerely look forward to the next five!

My favorite moments on GOG are when I make fun on tinyE for having only one ball. Thank you, GOG.

Let's create a section "Unemployed GOG Fans" :D
P.S I was not joking too, sadly :l

Thank you for providing us this very-high quality service with so much passion and devotion.
Thank you for treating us as human beings and not as stupid consumers.
Thank you, GOG.com and the whole team behind the website, to make the world better.

Thank you & keep going, we won't let you down!

Favorite moment : When I heard about GOG.com and its philosophy the very first time, two years ago.

Favorite moments:
- after trying to run Settlers 2 for ages, I used my old PC for a Win 98 installation (which was not easy, because of newer parts), which broke down after some time... so I was same at the staarting point... and then I found gog *hooray*
- Getting legal copies of games, even if I still sometimes play the other ones because of missing languages in the gog ones... but it was very good for my conscience
- and of course fun events of the site and in the forum like the Keaning :D

Look at the source code of the packages, it is all there.

My favourite moment? Yesterday, when the GoG team sent me a mail saying I won a game from one of the 5-year birthday contest and they were sorry for the delay due to a mixup: they proved yet again to be honest and reliable! Keep on the good work, GoG! Your excellent service won my trust, even if I have been here for only a couple of months! I'll be sure to help expand the anti-DRM crusade! :)
