That has just helped me decide to have them as a second place of business...doomboy29 said:Thia might make me buy a few things at GoG later......
Agreed. Everything they do seems like they actually... well.. LIKE us! Impossible!Kukulski said:GoG and CD Projekt seem to reinforce their position as the "Heroes of the People" each month. I'll drink to them.
Not so much that as a big 'fuck you' to distributors/publishers who force online distributors to inflate their prices to match bricks and mortar prices. Expect distributors/publishers to pitch a shitfit over it.rembrandtqeinstein said:hah, thats a big screw you to government censors....

This whole thing has a sense of "its totally because of this reason, and not the one your thinking of.RockPaperShotgun said:It?s great that GoG are employing trust in their customers this way, because it means they know that no one in Australia would ever dream of breaking this bond by using the lack of IP geo-tracking to purchase a game that?s been censored by their country?s government. It?s arguably a big risk they?ve taken, but I?m sure that not a single Aussie will let them down in this way, by taking advantage of the honour system by entering another country as their location when pre-ordering or purchasing the DRM-free version of the game from www.gog.com.

Not saying that its bad though. Its good that they're not tracking IP's. Yeah, thats the reason I like this.

Well I have been putting off snagging Might and Magic 7. I guess I will get it now. I will use their store to make up for you. No worries! I got it!Vie said:I salute them for this.
Not that I'm likely to use their store though... ..sorry guys.
I personally consider a stunt where they go "We're shutting down our site so you'd better download and save copies of your games before they're gone for ever JUST KIDDING it's a site layout change trolololol" to be one hell of a big wrong. I'm glad that they trust their customers so damn much, but after that, I have a big problem trusting them. I'll just stick with Steam and other sites run by companies that treat their businesses like a BUSINESS instead of like a YouTube comment (something that's usually only good for stupidity and trolling).Casimir_Effect said:People may ***** at Steam, but there is no way anyone can have a problem with GOG. They do no wrong and a lot right.

It's a real shame Australians can't play an uncensored version of our game.
