So… Is this a good thing? Bad thing? Gut reaction says that probably not the greatest for GOG, being detached from a huge publisher like CD Projekt probably isn’t great for a niche marketplace. In their faqs it states that GOG had a strong year financially but they would of course bill it that way. The question about why the new owner did so also just sounded disingenuous.
Interested to see where this goes from here. While I love gog and am a patron, their Linux support leaves a lot to be desired. The sole fact that cloud saves are such a pain to get working has led me to switch back to steam. I hope with these changes they can maybe get some support on Linux.
So where are you getting your current (let’s say released in the last decade, just to be generous), legal, AA/AAA, drm-free games from?
The answer ‘nowhere’ means that you have no viable argument.
I have no interest in A/AA/AAA games in the last decade or so. I also truly don’t give a single crap about “legal”. Copywrong should be fought and all information should be made free at all times. I mean, technically I play games that are current, like Luanti, OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Mindustry, and Endless Sky. So I’m not in the same sphere.
Hell, as I said above, in a world where eXo exists, GOG needs to do a lot more to justify financial investment.
