WHY THE FUCK IS GOG BEGGING ME FOR MONEY?

YOU'RE POLISH YOU FUCKS WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR TIPS?

That's a lot of zloty

>>723316957 (OP)
Because GOG lost them money last quarter and barely makes a profit on a good day
I have no idea how

>muh preservation
>Warcraft still gets pulled so Blizzshart can sell their demake

>>723317112
Embezzlement.

>>723316957 (OP)
I stopped buying from them because of this.

>>723317112

Theyre legit incompetent and for some reason bloated with staff that do fuckall.

>>723316957 (OP)
The begging hasn't even started properly. Wait till they launch the monthly patron program.

>retard checkmarks everything before signing up
>gets a newsletter or info about product

pay up brokie or you know go back to Steam and suck a couple cocks

>>723317274
You stopped buying from them because...they want funds to continue the process of preservation?What?

>>723316957 (OP)
I don't like them, I don't remember why anymore, but something about them being a fags and not allowing some game onto their platform for "quality control".

>>723317432
not him but i dont put money into products that have no idea how to turn a profit that just signals management retardation

>>723316957 (OP)
They can go bankrupt for all I care.

I'm making all my vidya purchases through Steam now, as that ensures that my money will go towards Linux development (fuck Microsoft)

>>723317521
While i do agree, some things are bigger money pits than some people can handle. Whenever you go onto the site you see the movement. When you buy stuff for them they can ask you if you want to participate in it. People are notified about what they could do to help.

>>723316957 (OP)

let me know when they start porting 7th and 8th gen games that are still being held hostage.

>>723317112
>I have no idea how
Game store that advertises on niche old shitty nostalgia games is surprising to you that they don't make money?

>>723316957 (OP)
They also started spamming threads here more shilling their platform. Ever since the numbers came out with them in the red. Maybe if they made good games instead of dogshit (Witcher, Cybertroon) they would be profitable like Valve

>>723317432
Sorry nigger but gog & by extension cdprojekt red are for profit. Its not my fault they lost money preserving shit like resident evil that already had dedicated autist preserving them because normal fags can't use Google & gog wanted their cut. So yes I did. That wasnt the only factor though. The dream list is also fucking retarded. The pirate fags were right. Gog is literally worthless. So if they wanna beg for donos or whatever I hope the soys that think the Witcher 3 is good are ponying up

>>723317537

>Its not my fault they lost money preserving shit like resident evil that already had dedicated autist preserving them because normal fags can't use Google
You do realize that the way pirates survive is because there are people paying for shit, right? You realize that there is a balance for all things. This is part of an ecosystem...you are not the cool hackerman stealing shit, you are part of the equation and devs/distributors take you into account. When movements like these fail, less people pay attention to them and things can actually disappear forever. Don't hit me with the "good i wish for that to happen" because at that point i would request you to go fuck off to another site/board.

>>723318319
I work for Ubishit and good i wish for that to happen

>>723318319
Just because gog is the most convenient place to pirate doesnt mean its the only place retard. Way to oust yourself as not only a faggot, but an orbiter but nice try gog marketer kun. I was a buyfag that now agrees with pirate fags that gog is worthless so your movement already failed. Sorry you had to learn that here.

>>723317112
PCfags are literally obsessed with Steam and refuse to even look at alternatives

>>723318463
What do you hope to happen when you say spiteful shit like that? Are you that hurt that you need to say this shit? Why would you shit on your own bed? Its literally hit the nose to spite the face.

>>723318657
>What do you hope to happen when you say spiteful shit like that?
I hope for everyone to tell me what a noble and good corporation Ubishit is otherwise they're just schizos

>>723318636
Gog's service is shit and they don't even believe you own your shit.
A threat you should take way WAY more seriously since their "business model" is pretending they do.

>>723318831
Why didn't you say that you are a poltard, that would have been a lot easier. You definitely don't belong here, not because you don't buy from gog but from infesting the board with your culture war shit.
>>723318832
Anon.....

I like GoG if only because it encourages not having DRM and not having forced updates and shit.
It has it's own problems like often developers will not include everything that the steam version has, some of the features for galaxy are barebones, etc.
I don't like cdprojekt red or any of the games they made though.

>>723318983
>doesnt like donating money to diversity hires
>must be /pol/
Damn you gog fags really are retarded

>>723318636
I bought games from:
>Origin
>Ubisoft store
>Battle.net
>GOG
>JAST USA
>Mangagamer
When EGS started pulling the exclusives shit I immediately uninstalled all stores other than Steam. Then when GOG pulled their ESG messaging I also dropped GOG. Now I'd only buy games from JAST, Mangagamer and maybe Itch.io if there's anything there that's not on Steam.

>>723316957 (OP)
doesn't really make sense how a digital storefront can lose so much money when they sell old abandoned games that have a small filesize. Do they have 50 people in HR or what is going on

>>723317112
Not hard to figure out, they spend money licensing games to sell on their store and everyone just pirates them because of how easy it is to do. DRM-free games will never be a viable financial model.

They just need more new games. Old games are fine but they're also finite.

>>723319214
>Doesn't like donating money
A correct and absolutely normal decision
>Doesn't like donating money to *insert whatever mumbo jumbo i believe in that doesn't even matter because the cause is enough to make me care or not"
I really wonder why i'm calling you that. Truly i can't see why i'm being so oppressive towards you.
I have no >>723318519 idea, >>723312754 absolutely none, i wonder what could your ilk >>723314080 . Please go make your generals on /pol and you can spam your AI generated opinions over there. I can decide to donate or not to donate to a cause based on my feelings about video games in general. Just like how a game can be good or bad based on gameplay and not whatever horseshit infests your brain so can a program be good or bad based on the project itself and not on the random black guy that makes you go on a tard rage.

>>723319612

>>723317112
>I have no idea how
It has little to no value to the consumer
>Preservation
Nobody cares. And those that do - pirate.
>Owning your games
Still a license just like Steam. Your download rights can still be taken away, and in fact GOG's ToS tells you as much
>GOG Galaxy
For a storefront that pretends to be pro-consumer they sure as fuck are eager to cling to Windows and only Windows.
>No DRM
Steam doesn't enforce DRM and games with invasive DRM you're not gonna find on GOG anyway.
>Offline installers
How many times can you count having internet outages? On top of that, how many times can you count having so little disk space that you can't afford to keep your games installed and constantly have to cycle them in and out of the installation-uninstallation rotation?
It's a store whose main features are either borderline scam-like or have no reasonable market to appeal to.

Do they need that much money to maintain the few old games they actually have? The new releases are always mostly modern indie games and bottom-tier eroge.

Steamie soys really are insane cultists.

Offline installers are smaller and the people that want them, want them in case their license gets removed, they're not constantly uninstalling them, and it's not because they don't have internet, you retard

>>723317112
Because instead of doing things to appeal to their main consumer base of people that want old games fixed and preserved, especially stuff that still isn't available anywhere, they are trying to be Steam and prioritizing adding nothing but new games that you can already buy on Steam. Just as a very recent example, they added the Crysis 2 and 3 remasters to their "game preservation" over the original Crysis 2 and 3. It says it all really. There's no intention on their part to actually do the work they claim to be about and are taking the laziest possible route to pretend they are.

>>723320224

It should be illegal for a store to ask for handouts like this. They aren't a charity, this isn't going towards anything beneficial.

>>723320224
I have spent hundreds of dollars on Steam and am currently banned on it. Not a single cent of mine was stolen by Gabe, as I can access all my games even despite an ongoing ban. Something that can't be said about GOG by the way, as they are very much willing to suspend your downloads for saying you don't want to participate in the pride sale on their forums. Cope, seethe, dilate, and suicide.
>>723320226
>want them in case their license gets removed
Doomsayer faggot. If GOG took your license - GOG stole your money. Pirate or kill yourself.

>>723319913
Gaben is making gaming on Linux actually good. What the fuck has GOG done?

>>723318636
What do you expect when the GOG version is typically objectively inferior? Boy, I sure do love buying a game and being locked out of 75% of the mods available for it or having the multiplayer barely work.

>>723317112
Because why the fuck would I ever buy something from GOG that's new and modern and readily available on Steam? The GOG Galaxy client is fucking useless dogshit that crashes 100% of the time and they never get updates at the same time as every other storefront/platform (just look how long it took them to get the Quake remaster after it released everywhere else)

>>723320539
>Gaben is making gaming on Linux actually good.
Is he now? Steam Deck was abandoned by the fatfuck gabencunt despite selling well enough.

How much money does it cost to host old games with fan patches bundled in? Did getting resident evil make them bankrupt or something? Honestly it was better when these old games were just abandonware

>>723317112
Because it's a storefront for hipsters who think downloading an installer .exe is only a good thing if you pay some random polack for it. Needless to say it's a very tiny niche of double idiots, people who think they're too cool for other stores but are too dumb to pirate.

>>723320637
It's getting constant updates, got an OLED version, non-Valve handhelds with SteamOS, and we might get Deck 2 in the next few (I heard rumours of 2) years.

>>723320476
>want them in case their license gets removed
>Doomsayer faggot. If GOG took your license - GOG stole your money.
Gog has taken games away, worse they don't only pull games from the store they also pull them from your library unlike steam
Denuvo won, you won't be pirating any new games going forward

>>723320659
Whoever is making the decisions at GOG should be fired. They are wasting all their money and resources on putting brand new games on the store instead of "preserving games". Their recent 17th Anniversary event was just them "celebrating" putting Clair Obscur, Silent Hill F, the modern Tomb Raider trilogy, and the Crysis remasters on the store. And earlier this year they made a big deal about adding all the LEGO platformers and the Devil May Cry collection. All of that is easily available on Steam already, this site didn't need any of it and I would never choose to buy any of those things from GOG over Steam.

>>723319818
The benefit of offline installers is they're entirely self-contained. Once you have this version of the game you just have it. No patches, no connection, nothing else needed and it can't be modified or removed by a third party until you personally decide so.

>>723320476
>they are very much willing to suspend your downloads for saying you don't want to participate in the pride sale on their forums.

Because, as much as some spergs try to convince you otherwise, not a single rat's soul in this here planet cares about arbitrary concepts such as "ownership" of games, people with well-functioning brains simply go for Steam, which is the better storefront and platform.

I suspect you are not being honest about this whole thing

>>723320976
I'm perplexed as to why you think helping me shit on GOG is somehow refuting my shitting on GOG.

>>723317112
GOG Galaxy is the single worst launcher in the entire industry. It straight up doesn't work and crashes every time you try to launch a game. I imagine most people would rather buy from any other store at this point just to avoid dealing with it. I know I do.

>>723321168
works fine on my machine, maybe your pc is the problem, consider upgrading

>>723321071
They're as bad as Nintendo fans who constantly have to deflect to Sony when Nintendo gets criticised

>>723321050
That's fine and dandy but last time I checked GOG didn't offer literally every version of the game up for download, meaning that you can't get any version you want by using the storefront, meaning that piracy is still the superior method. I do agree that this shit sucks on Steam as someone who's dreading the day Terraria 1.4.5 hits the store and I'll have to fiddle with disabling the updates, but GOG is not a proper solution to this plight.
>>723321124
You suspect because you have nothing factual to back up your spiteful hunch. Unfortunately for you, as you may be well aware, facts do not care about your feelings.

>>723321294
My PC doesn't need an upgrade at all, it's only a couple years old. And you are lying, GOG Galaxy is garbage and doesn't work on any machine. Dumb shill.

>>723321151
I'm correcting your dogshit claims who said I'm defending gog?

>>723321715
What dogshit claims, you shmuck? Learn how to context.

>>723321168
It depends on the game. GoG Galaxy pretty bad but for me Bethesda launcher was worse
Minecraft launcher is even more dogshit
At least with GoG you don't need the launcher

>>723321294

Funny thing is, Heroic works significantly better as a launcher for GOG's games than GOG's own launcher lmao

>>723321405
>meaning that piracy is still the superior method
Always has been. Obviously don't pay for .exes but GoG does a decent job providing them, on sites that don't auto-replace files and keep update history you can sometimes find older installers. It's somewhat easier on steam with games that give you the option to choose what version to install but the problem is not every game does that, it should be mandatory in my opinion.

>>723322047
How does DRM actually affect you? Have you never been able to play a game on Steam when you wanted to?

>>723317112
Piracy
People can cry all they want about DRM and stuff, but at the end of the day, if they can get away with not paying for shit, they will.

I stopped caring about GOG when they flooded the store with low quality porn games while simultaneously denying games like BallisticNG.

>>723322425
You mean when a company declares it too difficult to make a fucking downloader and chat client, someone that makes one can make it better?

>>723316957 (OP)
they never should have abandoned their original mission of being a storefront for retro pc games. get rid of the galaxy launcher team, the team responsible for handling releases for modern games and the marketing team.

all that shit loses them money meanwhile their bestsellers list is always 90% good OLD games. hell they could also act as publishers for these old games and put them on steam for people who dont care about the drm free installer part, it seems to work for nightdive

>>723322551
>it should be mandatory in my opinion
It very much should be. Most good games are good by accident and are at a constant risk of becoming shit if the monkey developer behind them doesn't get lucky with an update and his retard brain adds something that breaks the whole thing.

>>723323085
Its been said a hundred fucking times and is even easily searchable information steam does not force drm. Silksong has no drm but Tucker over at the gog store charges you 2 dollars more because there's no drm. Gog fags are just retards that cant use dgvoodoo. Thats the end of the discussion. Everything else you said is true

>>723323085
This. Exactly what I think too. I exclusively use GOG for ancient games that either aren't on Steam or don't work through Steam. And I only buy those when they are on sale for a few dollars. GOG has absolutely no other utility for me and never will. I will never buy new games from them over Steam. The GOG Galaxy launcher is beyond worthless and barely functions. This company should be gutted aside from the preservation and optimization team that work on fixes for 20+ year old games.

>>723323279
retard i dont care about whether or not it has drm. i use steam, i use gog, i do not give a shit because old game drm is trivial to bypass in 2025. im just saying that they could probably earn more money by selling games on both gog.com and steam

>>723323474
That doesnt matter because everyone wants to be their own monopoly. Except steam who does nothing & wins

>>723319418
Why would they need to pay for the privilige of selling those games? That doesn't sound very profitable

Are you sure it's not like steam where they split a percentage of the earnings with the developer after each sale?

>(((Game Preservation)))
Doesn't fucking work. You just gonna keep updating every game in gog library to be compatible with new versions of windows forever?

>>723316957 (OP)
I'm glad for what they do but it pisses me off when an old abandonware game is suddenly no longer available to download (from public-facing sites) because someone bought it and started charging for it. These were pretty obscure games that were already freely available and not too hard to get running, we didn't need that kind of help.
It's twice as annoying when someone buys the rights to a game and it's taken down from (public facing) sites even though it's not available for purchase anywhere, or when they force it into a bundle with a remaster, or fuck with it in some way
Just fuck off with that

>>723317112
The majority of the games on GOG appeal only to chin-stroking, LOTR-quoting neckbeards. Nobody else is hurting to play moldy-ass 4X strategy games from 1993. That's why they aren't making any money, and I'm speaking as a long-time GOG user.

>>723321110
>not a single rat's soul in this here planet cares about arbitrary concepts such as "ownership" of games
You're a moron if you think this. Learn to comprehend that people who think differently from you exist, and how to avoid embarrassing yourself like this in future.

>>723316957 (OP)
Why are some games exclusivity on GOG and not also on Steam? Is it because GOG creates whatever compatibility patch for the game so it runs or does it pay for exclusivity deals? For example, why is Resident Evil not on Steam?

>>723324137
I mean fuck it, there's no crossplay, multiplayer games and especially coop ones tend to rely on their shitty gog network service, there's little to no lan support, not even a dedicated emulation environment like proton. You don't have much cloud storage (I remember having to keep just one save in vanilla underrail), their forums suck ass and do most retarded things like mixing games like normal and bethesda's fallouts.
Linux support is not always stellar as well. I played Linux native version of planescape two years ago. For some reason a standalone offline installer required libssl of some obscure version. Why.jpg
Why would I need that in a single player old rpg. Why isn't it included in the package already?
You can't change reviews so if a developer does something moronic you can't reflect that.
Im not saying it needs to be steam 2.0, im saying all good had to do is to deliver me cheap old and not so old games that I could play alone and with my friends and it should be much easier than pirating. It was at first, back to torrents now.

>>723324952
Yeah, GOG are the ones who work on those patches and updates usually. But I think in the case of the Resident Evil and Dino Crisis games, they made some kind of deal with Capcom.

>>723316957 (OP)
Good, the sooner these retards go out of business the sooner games stop dissappearing from abandonware sites because GOG wants to charge 20$ for "updating" the game for modern windows (read: preinstalling the publicly available free fan patch and nothing else)
But maybe the retards who vote for fucking Diablo 3 to be put on GoG can donate to keep the servers going

>>723324952
Yes, it's because gog is the one fixing it
Crapcom could put them on steam but they probably wouldn't work unless crapcom patched it themselves and as you can read in the op, they don't really care to do that

They are. And it doesn't take a genius to see it. They didn't even giveaway any free games in their past few sales. A successful company doesn't stop doing that.

Two more weeks?

They keep a partnership with twitch prime that is probably shooting them in the foot more than helping
Steam learned long ago that there's no profit to be made from giving away free keys, that won't drive people to your store

I accept your concession

I quit supporting CDPR when one of their tranny moderators banned me from their forums for criticizing the woke shit they kept advertising on their storefront. Now I just seed all their releases and pirate their games. Fuck em.

Also their "preservation program" is just auto installing basic quality of life mods you'd find on pcgamingwiki. Why pay these fags for doing the bare minimum?

I have never bought a single thing on gog because they have a small library meaning they won't earn much money and one day they will close it and my games would be gone.

I don't want to, I don't care about physical, I want permanent access to download

It's quite simple: they are no longer "Good Old Games". They decided long ago that they want to be Steam buuut uhhhhhh like, different, in carefully non-specific ways.
