Heya,
So I have not gotten access to GoG 2.0 yet but have watched a few videos now on the closed beta. Just today Bellular posted a video on his thought about the game launcher. While watching the video I had a thought about a feature that may not be popular with everyone but I would support and figured I would post a copy of the suggestion here for the GoG team.
It would be nice to show a comparison of sales for games on different storefronts... like if I want to buy X these are the current prices on GoG, Steam, Epic, Etc. without having to go looking off of the GoG platform. If interested a buyer can click on the sale item you want and it will take you via a direct link to the given store/launcher, maybe GoG can get a kickback partnering with other stores to display this info (Kinda like an amazon partner link)... be the hub for gamers... embrace the hub.
Though this may be counter to the current business model for selling games mainly on the storefront... GoG could offer a cheap optional sub for such a feature (2 to 5 bucks a month for example) and include some extra bonus sales/goodies on GoG for subscribers (If popular you could always include more value as well in the offering such a minigames etc).
I know that would pay for it to support GoG so they can hire back some of the staff that had to be let go. GoG please give me a cheap sub option with extra goodies so I can support the company more in the future!
Just a thought on something I would support and that maybe would provide some extra revenue directly to GoG.
Cheers,
Xev
