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.
Yeah, but everytime a company gets sold, they always say a bunch of shit that always ends up being lies.
not saying that is happening here, but it happen oftens enough that I just don’t believe anything.
If I’m not being Pollyanna, my guess would be to guarantee being privately owned so it’s not even questioned to get public, like Valve. Since the owners don’t exactly change here. Sadly, can’t say the same for CDPR.
Completely offtopic, but just saying Pollyanna causes me emotional turmoil thanks to the Earthbound Tribute for the 20th anniversary… 11 years ago, which means Earthbounds now 31 years old. .
Which…Combining the tribute, with the fact its 11 years old, just critically hits me for psychic and emotional damage.
