Nice to see a platform like GOG becoming so proactive these last 12 or so months (or, more so than they were previously)
With so many new initiatives (or in the case of the Dreamlist!) - re-imagined ones!
Dino Crisis and the sequel weren’t my kind of games, even being made specifically for modern hardware. I’m too young to have the nostalgia or patience for the so called ‘tank controls’ of the old days. But I still bought them to support the initiative. I’m just one of those poor fools waiting and hoping for a modern sleek remake, like the Resident Evil games were blessed with!
STILL, so nice to see this billboard in a prominent space! Nice work, GOG.
Given the things I’d like to see GOG investing in, it sounds irresponsible to buy Times Square ad space, but that’s just a gut reaction that’s not based on any real numbers.
As a purely Linux user, I’m just glad Heroic is around so I have options to play with less problems. Heck, they even have an agreement with GOG themselves where they get a proceed of the purchases made on GOG through a special link, or via Heroic.
GOG has its issues, but as someone dedicated to DRM-free games, and games preservation, they are still my favorite lot to buy games from!
Yeah I’m buying any game I can on GOG these days. Between being DRM-free and being pre-patched (sometimes with community patches) it’s definitely the best platform, particularly if you like to buy older games/retro games occasionally.
I’m the exception to gaming, I have maybe 20-ish games on Steam, but '000’s on GOG. I’ve always had a thing for the underdog, maybe that’s what made me focus on them from the start. I just love their platform, and their ethos. They’ll never be a competitor to Steam or Epic Games, but I don’t think they’re trying to be any more.
I just love them!
