I'd love to get an rss feed of the news announcements. Please please?

Which browser are you using? This extension for Google Chrome picks it up just fine.

"Really Simple Syndication"... an abomination that is better replaced with the much more clearly defined Atom.

Kinda... it's a way to automatically fetch updates from websites without visiting each website one after another - provided they supply a meaningful feed (way too many only supply the header rather than the complete article).

Exactly how it's displayed to you depends on the client - Firefox has the function built-in (called "live bookmarks"), some mail clients (Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, Opera's built-in mail, ...) also supports it, and there are dozens of clients built specifically for the purpose of monitoring RSS feeds (FeedDemon, FeedReader3, SharpReader...), as well as websites (Google Reader for one) which - in my opinion - kind of defeats the purpose of not requiring a web browser open all the time.

You guys should add a link for it near the Twitter / Facebook / Youtube links.

It still pays to keep an eye on the site from time to time even with the feed. Sometimes GOG's feed misbehaves a bit. It could just be Thunderbird consuming it incorrectly, but other forum users report it being MIA from time to time.

The not-enough-encoded ampersands that appears in the feed every once in a while throws compliant XML parsers off, those not bothering with compliance displays them happily. But since RSS is a clusterf*** of various broken standards, there's no way to know exactly how any given feed is meant to be parsed. Unlike Atom, which defines pretty clearly "this is plaintext" and "this is xhtml".

Thank you GoG. You are a scholar and a gentleman.

On Android I can heartily recommend Pulse News Reader for all your RSS needs.

Indeed, I wish there was a similar application for Windows. I get annoyed at all those "email-like" ones.

I've had the feed come and go at times, appears to be working OK for me right now...
