GOG.com pretends to disappear, doesn't really, causes Shamus to make this comic, which in turn leads to me to their website, where I bought Rainbow 6. Intriguing.

I was mad at them, so I wrote to tell them that, and got back the weasliest "we're sorry if we upset you" (as opposed to "we're sorry we did something slimy"), so I'm still mad at them.
No one would talk about it then tho. They are not a big scary publisher corporation that goes of ra swim in their cash pool every morning, they pretty much employ only ~20 people, so while the stunt was a bit of annoying i understand them. Polish gaming market is very poor compared to US/UK/Canda or even Germany.Onyx Oblivion said:
Plus it showed how people mistake the whole idea of GOG with Steam. All the complains about "Omg i couldn't download the games i bought" is pretty silly, if you bought them you most likely downloaded them already and that's all you need to play them. You don't need to register every time you want to play, you don't need internet connection, you can copy the game on CD and go around the world with it and it still will be playable.
I hate stem for that. I remember I bought a game I think about a year ago. I don't normally buy games for online play. I take the game home, install it, and then I'm told that I can't play it because I'm lacking an internet connection (was at my friend's apartment at the time). So I ask him neighbor if I could borrow their internet to complete the installatin and he's kind enough to allow me. I register the game, go to play it and Is till need internet.Keava said:
It's why I hate steam games. Don't make me go out, buy a hard copy of the game, and then demand that I register and use an internet conenction to play the game on single player.
GOG already gained a fan today. I go check it out, sign up for an account and the first thing they do is give me 3 free games. Plus they have Redneck Rampage that my dad has been wanting again ever since we lost our original copy.
The only problem is now I'll have to get a credit card and go even deeper in debt.

I LOVE THESE GUYS! I mean, I already own the game, and I still love them, just for the very fact they are making this gem of a game accessible to more people.
These are good people. You should give them your money.
