To me, GOG is all about trust. GOG trusts its customers to keep games for personal use only, and the customers trust GOG to make decisions in the best interest of the consumer. The past few weeks were interesting to see the community response to regional pricing, and I think it's important in life to stumble a bit before making strides. It's great to see GOG reaffirm their commitment to keeping prices fair as much as possible, while we all recognize that GOG's future does involve some degree of compromise.
On another note, I firmly believe that GOG has been a big part of the upswing of adventure games the past few years. By selling older titles like the Sierra adventures, Tex Murphy, and many others, I think that allowed people to discover these games and help bring adventures back into the discussion a bit around gaming communities.
For fun,
this image is something I made during the holidays featuring the wonderfully diverse array of characters we have from the classics here on GOG. it's amazing how much gaming history there is on this site, and I am confident that one day we will add the likes of Guybrush Threepwood, Manny Calavera, Bernard Bernoulli, and others to that cast. ;)
Lastly, the attached image is how we can safely feel about GOG - a silent guardian, a watchful protector...
Thank you to IAmSinistar and the anonymous donors for the giveaway! :)
GOG is not like batman :P Gog as a half arse simile would be like the factory owner in shindlers list more than it is like batman as an entity.
